Okay, slow down people, slow down, of course I will share with you my secret on how did I manage to just out from this reading slump.

Its a lie if I said, it is easy to break free from reading slump. NO! It ain't easy! I hated that I admit it, because myself, for the whole year in 2015, I didn't read anything. Nothing. Zero. Null.  Because I just lazy to read, not in the mood to read every lines in the book. So, I just buy the book and it stay very beautifully in my shelf without being touch or smell and the worst is, to read them.

Worst comes to worst, I have to do something for me to get back on track on reading books. So, here it goes, on how I manage to get away from it.

• Look Out for Booktubers

This is how I get inspire/spirit light up on to motivate myself to read again, after so long. I keep on watching their videos, listen to their discussion and review about the book that they have had read, sharing their book hauls, book recommendation, book tag, seeing them doing a bookshelves tour and many other more regards to the books in their video. Thus, this is how I found each of the booktubers either from Local/Overseas. They are freaking awesome!

• Find a Friends that Love Books

Honestly, I haven't found one yet, I mean in a reality world, not in social media world. Hopefully, one day, I'll get to find a friend to share our thoughts about the book we have read, the characters, either we love/hate it and many more. Hence, if you have found one or two or many, please, cherish those friendship, okay! hihi

• Environment

Environment? What do you mean by that, Fatina? Umm...what I mean is that, your surrounding does play an important role on to get you into this reading mode. I have make a space in my room, for me to read, which I decorate it with a bookshelf, with a small potpourri, basically a pandan leaf, to get this refreshing smell. It does help me a lot on getting a mood for reading. All I need now is a bean bag.

Here, comes the most important part of breaking away from reading slump *drum rolls please*
