Books to Get You Out of a Reading Slump

Winter is a hard season for a lot of people and many of us are slumpy. Let’s talk about some books that are great for getting you out of a slump!
To participate in Top 5 Wednesday, just head over to their Goodreads Group and join the fun!


So normally, the key for me to get out a slump is to read a book I know I love, but not one that I’ve read so recently that everything is still fresh in my mind. So here I’m going to put some series/authors that can typically be counted on to pull me from a slump, regardless of which of the books from them I pick.

  1. The Tillerman Cycle // Cynthia Voigt
    She has several stand-alones that can be used if I’ve read this series too recently as well.
  2. Uglies series // Scott Westerfeld
  3. Robert Fulghum
    Any of his collected essays, such as It Was On Fire When I Lay Down on It, will do.
  4. Sarah Dessen
    Any and all of her books so far have the power to break a slump!
  5. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
    I had to put this one on this list since it’s actually the one that pulled me out of my most recent slump!
