I think I’ve fallen into a reading slump……what books got you out of it?
I’m the same at the moment ??
I just finished this. It is a page turner. It’s the last book of a trilogy. The first book is Keeper of the Light. It got me out of a current reading slump.
Anything by Diane Chamberlain is good. Also, Jodi Picoult.
I do own a couple Jodi Picoult books
The Pact by Jodi is good. Also, Nineteen Minutes. And….My Sister’s Keeper.
Cool! I’ll have to check those out. I own Between the Lines, Off the Page, House Rules, My Sister’s Keeper, and Handle with Care ?
House Rules is good too.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Simon Vs The Homo Sapien’s Agenda
I do own Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda ? I really want to see the movie too.
I saw it today for my birthday.. I love it, I’m planning on going to see it again soon.
If you like historical novels The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillippa Gregory is one of the most engaging books l’ve ever read. And probably the fastest I ever read a book that length in.
The Orphan Train, Before We Were Yours and Sarah’s Key are all wonderful historical fiction books ❤? Happy Reading!
Love Philippa Gregory x I’m just reading Six Tudor Queens – Anne Boleyn A Kings Obsession by Alison Weir and loving it x x
All of the Harry Potters.
I do own the boxed set
Me too. Greatest series of all time. Any time I don’t know what to read….my go to!
I found that reading books I loved, always got me out of a reading slump. Good Luck
Mysteries and psychological thrillers work best for me when I’m in a slump. Anything by Agatha Christie, Jeffery Deaver, Tana French, John Verdon, and Mary Higgins Clark’s earlier books are all hard to put down.
Jonathan Kellerman is a good mystery writer.
I don’t know why I’ve never read his books. I’ll check some out next time I’m at the library. thanks for the suggestion!
Try something new maybe. I tried steampunk a few years ago and loved it.
Re reading old favourites usually works for me.
I was reading “To Hell and Back” and that was a tough one. WWII accounts from a first hand perspective is hard to stomach. It was days I didn’t want to read. It was a great book but goodness it would sap everything out of me
Robin Hobb, Brent Weeks, Mark Lawrence, Nicolas Eames, Patrick Rothfuss, Lynn Felwelling, Jim Butcher, JV Jones, Naomi Novik
It’s a little saucy but the Royals series…it starts with Paper Princess…by Erin Watt
I second this! They’re quick reads, and super addicting!
Me too. It’s been a couple months now. Feels weird. 😐
Awww not reading Mistborn right now?
No….not catching my interest at the moment…
@Belén book 2 was tough.
It got really good some point in the middle but, it depends on if you want to keep it up.
reading one of the pink carnation books. Always good for a smile and this one is starring Turnip.
OMG! I read all her books. Lauren Willig right?
I love you girl. I didn’t think anyone knew her. She and I use to email each other on her fan page. She knows my name. Read ALL of them!!! Loved Turnip to pieces.
I had a few favorites too.
Lol. Oh yes. I found her on her page and said thankyou… 🙂 Dunno why, but I always loved the Scarlet Pimpernel so finding these….! <3 Actually, I had never heard of Lauren Willig until I found two of her books in an op shop and was attracted to the covers so bought them and read one, then had to find the ones before it!
@Sylvia favorite story too. I have the 80s TV movie on dvd
You are reading the Christmas one right? With Turnip?
yep 🙂 Reading the Christmas one with Turnip. Yep, with Jane Seymour, just saw that one last night. I recall an earlier colour one, not seen the 80’s one beforehand….
@Sylvia never saw that one. Did t know it existed. “Seduction of the Crimson Rose” was one of my big favorites next to the Christmas one with Turnip that I loved. Ialso read the novellas on kindle as well.
As far as I know, there have been three pimpernel movies made, one in black n white. Had the book for a very long time..
Sylvia O’Neill I do remember the black and white. It was with Leslie Howard and Merle Oberon. Loved it as a child.
I am also in a reading slump. ?
3rd or 4th book in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon
I normally just ride out the storm. Keep away from trying to read but I still go into book stores and charity shops. Maybe pick up a magazine but not a newspaper unless its a local one. Then before you know it you’ll be reading a book again. Works for me anyway
Eleanor Oliphant
I was in a reading slump once, that I remember, I hated bookstores. Of course, that is where I always wanted to be, but to me, I would go around and have growl & in a half yell say, “like all these books are the same, grab them throwing them to the ground and stomp off.” (In my mind that is what I did) but I walked in and saw this book that looked like nothing I had ever read before and it wasn’t, so that helped me get over my reading slump. The book was the ‘Glass Castle.’ Read a book that is like nothing you would ever read, but it sounds good, maybe that is our problems why we get in reading slumps, because we read what we feel comfortable with, read something that is uncomfortable, maybe something that scares you.
Easy reads, positive, motivational, inspiring, etc… etc…
Old favourites like Graceling and Fire and the Billionaire Boys Club series… I hope you get out of your slump and back to enjoying reading soon x
The Lonely Hearts Hotel by Heather O’Neill
Idk, I just do
War and peace
