I used to read alot devouring books on the bus to school/work (almost like the movement help my dyslexia 😂) but recently I have been struggling to get into books having not been able to get past the first few chapters. Do yous have tips or methods for when you’re in a bit of a reading funk?

    Between college and having kids I was lucky if I was reading 5 to 10 books in a year. I think the biggest thing that helped me get back into reading was doing a reading challenge and getting an eReader that made choosing books easer. 

    I’ve been using the readers since Barnes & Noble’s first nook, but outside of the reading interface. It was difficult to keep a large variety of my books on there and find the one I was looking for. It was especially bad with Series. I got a kobo and the interface is so much better. I like the hardware slightly more for the nook, but the interface more than makes up for that difference.

    r/Fantasy runs an annual bingo sheet where they give different categories for a book to read and using that to discover new books that I had been missing out on really went along way and getting me back and enjoying reading.
