I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. I had a long tiring week, a book that felt like it took forever to read, and a few books in a row that I was just kind of meh about. For me this is the perfect recipe for a reading slump which I desperately want to avoid. So, I'm going through my shelves and picking out 5 books to hopefully prevent this from happening!
1. Northern Lights by Nora Roberts - This is one of the authors I most enjoy and romantic suspense usually hooks me pretty quickly which seems like it would prevent the dreaded meh feeling.
2. A Dark and Secret Magic by Wallis Kinney - The reviews for this one have been glowing and it looks lovely and cozy.
3. Haunt Sweet Home by Sarah Pinsker - This is short and involves ghosts which makes this one seem like a good choice.
4. We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida - I love the title and it sounds like a soothing read.
5. The Secret to Southern Charm by Kristy Woodson Harvey - I fell in love with this family and the town in the first book and really want to read this one. Since I'm already invested in the characters this looks like a good slump-busting book.
What are some books you'd try if you were in a reading slump?
Love the cover of We'll Prescribe You a Cat, another book by the cat loving Japanese authors.
ReplyDeleteA Dark and Secret Magic by Wallis Kinney Has caught my eye! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh, I've had those weeks of trying book after book. So frustrating. If I had gone through a few books and had low interest I would look for an author I've had luck with before.
ReplyDeleteSometimes switching genres helps me get out of a slump; or picking up a book by an author I love. I have A Dark and Secret Magic on my list for March. It looks really good. :D
ReplyDeleteI either try favorite authors or genres, or a switch up from the genre I have been reading. I haven't read any of these.

Loved Northern Lights - with some wine it's fantastic. Especially on a cold winter night.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can avoid that reading slump. These all sound like promising choices!
