I have barely read anything, and it's a miracle that there's anything posted on my blog. I love all the tips and many of these have definitely helped me break out of slumps in the past, but I particularly love your last point about just taking a break. Sometimes I get too focused on being in a slump and forget to use that time to recharge and focus on other things I love to do! Thankfully, I've been pretty chill this month about my case of the lazies and have loved using the time to finish my ALIAS re-watch :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-467365168170873972015-07-26T00:26:06.139-04:002015-07-26T00:26:06.139-04:00"Cheat on that TBR"
BWAHAHAHAHA. I love ..."Cheat on that TBR"<br />BWAHAHAHAHA. I love it. I am currently cheating with some movies. I get super lazy around this time of the year as well.Lyn Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471867801089862828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-79751011643425481972015-07-25T12:53:16.451-04:002015-07-25T12:53:16.451-04:00I get the "weekend lazies". I find it we...I get the "weekend lazies". I find it weird that I read more throughout the week when I'm actually working than on my days off. There's just something about doing absolutely NOTHING on weekends and so I tend to read less than I actually plan to. Usually, though, I try to treat myself on weekends - read the books I really want to, not the ones I know I should - whether that's a faraway ARC or a new release I've been dying to get to.

Totally did what you said. Took a break. Read what I FELT like reading (including backlist), cheated on the TBR with books people were yelling about (mostly you. Simon, Uprooted, ALANNA). Reread books (all of Raven Cycle, Ella, some HP). It helps soothe the brain haha. And it made me want to keep reading. But I still go through spurts like Alexa said above. Sometimes watching Frozen or P&P for the millionth time is more appealing. YOUR POSTS ARE ALWAYS MAGNIFICENT, don't ever worry about the blogging aspect of anything :)Morgan @ The Bookish Beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455877395068242798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-46915656812952576252015-07-24T10:23:46.669-04:002015-07-24T10:23:46.669-04:00I've been going through random spurts of "...I've been going through random spurts of "YAY I WANT TO READ EVERYTHING", tempered by spurts of "I DO NOT WANT TO BE READING". I've accepted it as part of my summer life though, and just go along with it. If I feel like reading, I will; if not... I'll do other things. Like binge shows or go outside or laze about ;)Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-45627591194409952192015-07-24T10:13:04.166-04:002015-07-24T10:13:04.166-04:00I hate summer reading slumps so much!

I go through audiobooks and those usually bring me out of my slumpsMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208053710091142718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-6561134282817390032015-07-24T10:09:28.425-04:002015-07-24T10:09:28.425-04:00I have been SO LAZY this summer.

I’ve been reading and blogging a ton, but I haven’t made time for watching TV shows and movies that I said I would this summer. Will have to do that soon before school starts up again in September.
