This post is a bit special. It's actually a draft I had from year 2016.
The original 2016 draft.

I can't really say I didn't do any reading. I read... through other mediums.
Like manga series (this sounds like I'm cheating but hey, it's still reading!) ...and [mobile] visual novels. Oh yes. I've been to that world already and I can't find the way back to the world where I haven't read VN anymore.
Hmm.. and my Japanese reading comprehension progressed so much (because I'm reading articles, manga and VN in Japanese too, out of desperation, mind you) although my kanji reading still need major practice. Yup, so I can't say I didn't read anymore during my reading slump.
I also did a lot of sight-reading in music (but this is a different kind of reading so I cheated haha)... oh, but I read theory books and such (which are normal books) so yeah.
2019 addition...
If you ask me now, I will say that I still have a reading slump. It's more like physical books reading slump...? Because I play games in Japanese daily (yeah that VN thing I mentioned up there.. Well more like mobile otome games...), which helped expand my Japanese vocabulary (it's amazing how I end up there haha).. I still count that as "reading".
Anyway. I went to the first ever Big Bad Wolf Sale in Kota Kinabalu months ago and that kind of jumpstart my wish to get back to reading physical books.
During my SPM year, I was so thirsty for books (which probably was just me running away from the stress) that I started reading classic novels.
I want to be that person again.
