reading slump
Book abandonment phase
A reading slump is a period when someone who normally reads regularly finds themselves unable to start or finish books.
The problem isn't lack of time but lack of momentum—nothing appeals, concentration wanders, books get abandoned.
I've been in a reading slump for months and can't seem to break out of it.
The term is common among book lovers and online reading communities.
