I’ve always wanted to read Agatha Christie
Dragon Reader by Cornelia Funke. I’ve been in a multi-year long slump too, so reading an easy, read-before novel has really helped
https://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Rider-Cornelia-Funke/dp/0545316480
I am currently engaged in a mix of on and off reading of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s Brimstone.
Yes, it is a re-read. I restarted the series after I picked up the latest 3 books in their series and I needed to refamiliarise myself with what’s up.
It’s like X-files/Fringe but as a book.
I like that style idea.
Small great things 🙂
Great read!

The power by Naomi Alderman. Good dystopian novel like The Handmaidens Tale.
The Hazel Wood
Iron Gold
Also reading Shadow of the Wind
Currently reading “The Palace Job”, “Reincarnation Blues”, “Still Life With Murder”, and “Wicked”. Not sure I’d recommend any of them to get out of a slump. The Jackaby series is kind of fun and might help with a reading slump
Gilead Marilynne Robinson
A YA novel called Bellamy and the Brute, I like Beauty and the Beast tales so thought I’d try it. I’m loving it. It’s a wonderful surprise!
ROOTS by Alex Haley
Confessions of a Domestic Failure by Bunmi Laditan and it’s making me laugh out loud

“Rejection Runs Deep” by @Carole.
Such a good read, didn’t want it to end
The subtle art of not giving a fuck
The Rosie Project
Les Miserables
Just finished the Librarian of Auschwitz. Moving on to the Book of Life (3rd in the all souls trilogy) then I’ll probably pause to read the Little Paris Book shop with my book club
I just finished”Finding Audrey” by Sophie Kinsella (whose books are my go-to “slump get-outers” if that makes sense) and I have to say I enjoyed it more that I expected to. It’s about mental illness without only focusing on mental illness. It is more about family values and towards the end I unexpectedly found myself tearing up. A book that brings out any emotion gets ? ? ? ? ? from me. Do try it. It’s written in a light YA style. (Kinsella)
I just finished Remember Me? By Sophie Kinsella. Light reading and funny even if a bit formulaic.
Yes. I agree her writing is formulaic but it is still uplifting! I love how all her characters are stuck in different “ruts” in life but they all manage to pick themselves up in the end. I honestly prefer this to blatant self-help writings. And I love the fact that Sophie Kinsella is funny and relatable. (She’s become my guilty pleasure)
@Linda me too ?
Just starting this…..
Supposed to be a great book, let me know what you think.
Will do….
Great mystery
Loads of twists and turns

Rainbow Rowell!!! I just finished 2 books by her. I was in a slump for a year… I think my joy in reading disappeared when one of my favorite book buddies passed away. I’m back to it now. And I’m much happier.
And I’m sure your book buddy is just as delighted as you are. ❤️❤️
@Siobhán I’m sure she is. I had so many conversations about Outlander and other books with her. She was such a wonderful lady.
I went back to an old friend to get me out of the start of my slump.

@Jodi Bend is the title of the book, lol.
ahh, I’m in love with Manuscript Found in Accra, Paolo Cuelho. I’m a major reader, at least 1 a weak, and I work and I write…so that’s major. I LOVE this book. I can’t read a page without highlighting… I feel as if I am reading my own thoughts…
The Alienist, really like it but you have to focus and around my house that’s difficult
Started this one. A student picked it for his finals. So far it reminds me a lot of the V.A. Schwab series (A Darker Shade of Magic). Maybe a bit too much… ?
But it‘s too early to say!
Dark Market. True story about Cyberspace. Interesting but dark reading.
