Reading slumps are the worst. Some of them are unavoidable. Some are hard to get out of. Some just come after reading a bad book. Most of the time mine come after reading a few bad books in a row or a season of life that takes a lot of energy. Probably the only good thing about a reading slump is coming out of it and all the reading that happens afterward.Top Ten Tuesdays (TTT) is a weekly event now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's TTT is: Books to Pull You Out of a Reading Slump.
When I'm looking for a book to get me out of a reading slump, it usually has at least one of these things (but hopefully a few)...
the book takes off and I can't put it down
well-done characters
a thriving plot
a sweeping romance
Some books I wanted to put on here, I feel like I have mentioned so many times. I wanted to pull out some that I haven't talked about as often that I feel like have the above things going for them.
So many amazing books on this list, but I might have internally shrieked at seeing SIX OF CROWS and SNOW LIKE ASHES. Those are two of my favorite fantasy reads! Great list!!

Fragments of the Lost is one I had on my TBR and never got to. Looks great too. And I haven't read that particular Taylor Jenkins Reid book but I loved her Maybe in another Life!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is the second list I've seen Map for wrecked Girls on! Nice to see tha get some love. :)
Romance reads are fabulous for getting you out of a slump! Great list! My TTT
ReplyDeleteCarval and Six of Crows are definitely ones to pull you out of a slump! I think I picked slightly older books and maybe one newer release! Lol. There were so many books to choose from really!

I loved Caraval and Six of Crows, but Snow Like Ashes actually put me into a reading slump-it took me so long to read that book!

I totally agree with you picking P.S. I Love You! I adore Kasie West in general - her books just make me happy! Happy Tuesday! :D
ReplyDeleteLife stress is usually what puts me into a slump. Sometimes I’m just too tired and irritated to read. Six of Crows is on my TBR. Everybody seems to love it.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I haven't read any of these but I heard mixed reviews of Snow Like Ashes. It's on my shelf right now and I'm still looking forward to it so I'm glad to see it made your list!

I LOVED Six of Crows, I could definitely re-read it as a slump buster. Furthermore look interesting.
ReplyDeleteJust a hint if you linked to Goodread it would be a lot easier for us to add the books to our TBR. 😉💖
