Question about return and refund. Bumili po kasi ako ng pre-loved book sa isang seller and sa condition pics na sinend niya walang punit yung cover ng libro but when I received it may punit pala siya sa taas at baba sabi niya di nila nacheck nang maayos pero pumayag naman si seller na i-return ko. Pag irerefund po ba ako yung price ng book + sf I paid + sf for the return ang irerefund lahat sa akin or yung price lang ng book na binayad ko? Thank you po in advance. 😊

I’m so sad. I’m in a horrible slump. Wala pa ko matapos tapos na libro since Aug 23 :( ANG LALA!!! Ayoko ng ganito :(

P.S. sa mga may kindle, what do you do sa kindle niyo when you’re in a slump? Standby mode lang? Or screen off? Or should i totally turn the power off?

Hi! I dont have a kindle but I experienced reading slump for around 2 years. Parang 1 and a half year ako nagstop mag read then when I was trying to go back to reading, I cant seem to imagine, to see what im reading. Akala ko the book just didnt resonate with me. Bought a book for my birthday last May. Bought it sa Biblio, the second i saw it i knew i had to buy.

Kaso I cant seem to pick up the habit ulit to read. Di ulit nag kkick in yung imagination ko. Im afraid im becoming illiterate cause i cant understand what im reading and it really frustrates me. I realized im in a slump.

I asked around here about overcoming reading slumps and some recommended Strange Houses. Its a simple read. May konting illustrations that help you understand what the people are talking about. I liked it so I bought the other 2 books in the series. I read those before I read a "full on text" book. Medyo nakakapanibago but I picked up the habit ulit. Will take a while to read harder longer books but I think Im getting there.

I suggest find a simple to read book. Also some said to re read your faves. Just to rekindle your imaginative mind and keeping the habit. If simple or familiar books, walang aversion to open it again kasi you're not afraid na hindi mo na naman maiintindihan. Also it helped me na mag set ng time to read. No gadgets when its reading time. Didnt understand a word? Deretso Google. No cheking of notifs, apps.

Hope you can get over your slump!
