Hey guys! I've been in a bit of reading slump lately! :( What books have you read to bust you out of a slump? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks everyone! xx

Hi Amy! Reading slumps are the worst and I certainly hope you get out of yours quickly. Here are some recommendations I hope you find useful:
1. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.
If you are thriller person (like me) this is a great option and definitely keep you hooked. It is, however, a character driven book but I personally don’t think this is a problem as it is still fully engaged me when I read it.
2. Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin.
This one is great if you want an easy to read historical fiction. It is an emotional roller coaster and is super fast paced. You don’t need to worry about keeping engaged and the main protagonist is extremely relatable.
3. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.
I am not a contemporary person but I LOVED reading this book. If contemporary is your thing, I highly recommend this.
4. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
This is a young adult fantasy with less development (but still a strong structure) than most fantasy novels. The characters are awesome and the accompanying vintage photography gives it a truly unique flavour.

If none of these suit, I have more reviews on my blog: http://jessthebookgirl.blogspot.com.au/ but don’t feel obliged to check it out.
I hope this helped!

I try reading short stories when in a reading slump. I hate it when it takes me weeks to complete a book when it is supposed to take a few days

What kind of books do you like, Amy?

Well if definitely recommend Perks of Being a Wallflower and Me Before You. They're my very favorite books.

You should try An Ember in Ashes. It's part of a series, the second book of which was released in August. But it's an interesting fantasy read.

Reading slumps are terrible! I agree with the short stories suggestion, Neil Gaiman has some amazing anthologies, I'd suggest Smoke and Mirrors first.
Other than that, books that I can binge help me get out of slumps and the I Am Number Four series by Pittacus Lore is SO bingeworthy, their super easy to read and exciting, plus the series is finished now so you won't have to wait around for the next one :)

I second An Ember in the Ashes. I'm reading A Torch Against the Night (the Sequel) now. They are both great books.

One series I can't seem to put down is the Throne of Glass series. I'm addicted to that one. It's been one of my favorites.

Six of Crows is also good, and the sequel to eBay (Crooked Kingdom) was just released as well.

Me too. I read books that are about 100 - 200 pages when I'm in a reading slump.

The series that got me out of my reading slump was The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski. Maybe it can help you too. :)
