Reading Slump? Who’s She?

I don’t know about anyone else, but Ms. Reading Slump and I have been close personal frenimes for years now. Just when I think I’m ready to part ways (because really, we’re just not that close anymore and we want different things), I get pulled right back in and find myself physically recoiling from any book.

This most recent slump was a tough one and I really saw no light at the end of the tunnel. Luckily for me though, the combination of these five books helped me on my way to splitting up with good old Ms. Reading Slump.

Maybe they can help you too?

Rhythm & Muse by India Hill Brown

Music, podcasts, friendship, faith, rom-com, gender-bent Cinderella

She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen

Enemies-to-lovers, WLW rom-com, fake dating, sports

Fake Dates & Mooncakes by Sher Lee

Fake dating, family, love, food, cultural heritage, MLM romance

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by

Malinda Lo

1950s San Francisco, WLW romance, community, coming-of-age, fiction

Lightlark by Alex Aster

Romantasy, political intrigue, love triangle, magical realms, curses, deadly game

Each of these books vary in their level of intensity and light-heartedness, but each one was fast-paced and completely immersive. Now, I'm not saying that all of these books, collectively, will end your own slump, but I think reading at least one will do the trick.

Happy Reading!
