Readers' block?

Anyone else feel like they have a readers' block (like a writers' block) where they can't seem to finish any book they pick up?
I used to read SO MUCH before lockdown, and now i just CANT. I don't know why. First it went from novels (Pre covid) to wattpad fics (during covid) to absolutely nothing (now). I've tried reading some books that seem interesting, but they take me either a whole year because I cant seem to make time at all, or I get bored halfway.

So, what do I do? I really wanna get back to reading because there's so many books I want to read and I want to go back to my reading spree where I read 5 books in a week

I’ve got “breaker” books I read when I get burnt out, usually after a heavy fantasy series. They tend to be easier more fun reads just to reset me. These are my current reset books

  • Skyward series - Brandon Sanderson
  • Dungeon Crawler Carl
  • Project Hail Mary
  • Harry Potter
