What kind of books are you into?
Anything YA, anthologies, thrillers, some romance.
Try “The Hating Game.”
Its Contemporary romance. Quick read. I loved it.
Nice, I actually own that one and have been meaning to get to it!
I second the hating game. It’s so good.
I third The Hating Game. So stinking good!!
Huntress By L J Smith is one of my favs super fast read it’s a series but that one can be read on its own. Also Follow me Back by A V Geiger finished it in one night and I’m a slow reader
I saw Huntress on bookoutlet but didn’t pick it up, this definitely seems like a series my sister would love!
Anything by James Patterson. His fast-paced novels are the perfect thing to get you out of the slump.
Do you have a favorite?
I like his woman’s murder club ones. 1st to die is the 1st and they have short chapters
Caraval did that for me but other friends have had a tough time getting through it. I blame it on my penchant for sassy sentient objects ?
Go for Starfall by Neil Gaiman
Stardust i meant
Oh that’s a better one. Do that one.
I’ve actually never read any Neil Gaiman, I’ve heard great things!
Neverwhere is another good one, it’s pretty weird but it makes it very funny and fast paced
Actually..if you haven’t heard of http://thriftbooks.com/ that’s a great place to order if you don’t have a favorite bookstore where you live, you can fill up your shopping cart very quickly lol
Lol I have a local used bookstore I use but thanks! I also use bookoutlet!
I loved The Martian. It isn’t YA or fluffy but just goes really fast and is surprisingly funny.
Have you read Good as Gone by Amy Gentry? It’s a pretty quick read that I found quite interesting.
No I haven’t, I’ll check it out!
It’s one of those books where you might work out the mystery, but you probably won’t work out why, so it will still have something to offer ?
Wonder
I want to read this before November! I heard it’s amazing!
Yes!!! I read it in a day, its super quick, but so good and has very valuable lessons. idk hoe the movie will differ but I’d read it before it comes out if I were you! ?
Definitely planning on it! I saw the movie trailer and nearly cried, I have to book sitting on my shelf now!
*the
Prosper Redding
I just ordered this today!
The Egg Said Nothing by Caris O’Malley
Just read the synopsis online, I’ve never heard of this book, but it sounds really interesting!
It’s classified as Bizzaro, but it’s very tame compared to other books in the genre. The guy that wrote it is a librarian.
Queens of geek or wild beauty. Read them both in on sitting. Amazing books, they got me out of my reading slump.
Has wild beauty released yet?
Cindy Evangelina I believe it has, though I got a arc of it early.
I will check later on, this book has been on my radar!
@Cindy it was so good. I hope you enjoy it
Thanks!
The Sun is also a star
I really enjoyed her other book!
The Road

My daughter adores “The Diabolic” by S J Kincaid. It is YA and I started reading it too. It is amazing so far.
It’s on my TBR
Couple next door!!!
I’ve been looking a decent used copy in my bookstore, no luck so far!
I read this recently it was a quick read.
I’ve read that already, I really enjoyed it!
Did you see the movie?
Not yet! Did you?
No, I’m gonna check it out.
Fingers crossed it’s just as good
I like James Patterson. Quick, easy to read books.
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs, Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce, or Hounded by Kevin Hearne.
Anything like Penny Vincenzi is pretty good.
M.C. Beaton

It’s really good might actually put you in another reading slump lol?
Oh no 🙁
A man called Ove.
On my TBR!
Anything by Sophie Kinsella, I enjoy her books and usually finish them in a day ?
Maybe a book of short stories or poetry
If you want a truly quick read “who moved my cheese” by Spencer Johnson. It is one of my all time favorite books!
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4894?source=ebfg_sms
How to Hang a Witch got me out of my slump. Read it in two days!
I just read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in one sitting. It’s hilarious and full of nonsense. If you like a little science fiction I suggest it! It got me out of my slump.
Real quick read: https://goo.gl/1CqQbP
Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger. Quick read and Gail has a knack for witty banter dialogue that I adore!
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire? I have also taken to reading Neil LaBute plays: I’ve read Some Girl(s) and In a Forest, Dark and Deep.
Bookshots by James patterson 150 pages or less
How Full is your Bucket by Tom Rath
Everything, Everything is quite a fast and easy read to get you out of a slump

I read that book in one day! It was really good 🙂
The long walk by Stephen king
Life on the refrigerator door
I had my first reading slump in years over the summer and the book that got me out of it this time was Geekerella by Ashley Poston it was a cute, fun and light read.
I’ve heard it’s a really good book
it was such a fun book that I didn’t want to stop reading it and it left me feeling so satisfied and happy I was able to pick up more books after, so no more slump!
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
I’ve heard great things about the night circus
The night circus is not a fast read or an easy one ?
But it’s a fantastic book!
I found it a fast read. I enjoyed the short chapters and whimsical storyline. It was a two day read for me.
Just one day by Gale Forman
Caraval was fast and a total roller coaster read. But I love the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich they are hilarious and super fast and I usually finish one in a day
You need to read smut to get you out of your slump. I prescribe you Captive by Jex Lane
🙂 thanks
@Cindy This book has a plot haha it’s not only smut. It’s well written. I hope you try it.
But slumps are hard.. and I always find some addictive reading is always a cure.
Unless you’re underage ?
Agreed I’ve tried reading a book and it’s my second time trying to get through it and everytime I get in a reading slump
Haha no 23, no worries there
Well let me know if you want to read any erotica. Because I have an entire list of fantastic well written books that I have to get me out of any slump lol
This is great advice ? I usually do that too or something funny. Going to check out this book as well

1. American Queen series by Sierra Simone
2. Original Sinner series by Tiffany Reisz (first book is called, The Siren)

@Cindy let me know if you try any ?
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson is short and very unique. I loved it. I could see that working.
The Nocturne Falls series by Kristen Painter is fun and quick and perfect for this time of year. Whenever I’m in a reading slump I like cute, quick romances or cozy mysteries to get me out of it and this series always does it. She has both a paranormal romance series and a cozy mystery series set in this same universe.
Sarah Addison Allen’s books! fun, cute, magical realism
Eleanor & Park, Everything everything or Let it snow.
I’ve read the first two and I’m saving let it snow for the winter!
