I used to read alot devouring books on the bus to school/work (almost like the movement help my dyslexia ๐Ÿ˜‚) 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?

I just have periods I don't read that much and just accept it. I often have a cycle of reading-gaming-watching series/movies. One phase lasts around 1-2 months for me. All just different ways to experience a story. So I don't want to force one or the other (The latest Zelda for example dropped during a non-gaming phase. Still haven't touched if even though I should love it :(). Reading for me is fun and if I don't feel it I don't force it.

Mostly after some non-reading time I see a book that looks really interesting and I just dive in. That often kicks off my reading phase and I devour multiple books during the next few weeks.
