Not a specific book recommendation but I think rereading an old favorite can help with a reading slump! You already know what happens, you already know you’re going to enjoy it, so I feel like there is less pressure than starting something new. It’s the familiarity, I think, that makes it easier to pick up a reread when you’re not really feeling like reading.
I'd definitely recommend The Illuminae files for getting out of a slump, if you enjoy sci-fi and don't mind Teens being Teens :'D The mixed media approach (emails, interviews, descriptions of surveillance footage, diary entries...) and the sheer amount of stuff happening combined with the high intrigue had me flying through those!
Get out of slump recs: In general highly recommend graphic novels, YA fantasy and old favourites for getting out of slumps. The books that must not be named (if they are old favourites and still spark that love, joy and comfort) The Cahill witch chronicles by Jessica Spotswood Graceling realm by Kristin Cashore Orange by Ichigo Takano The winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden Six of crows by Leigh Bardugo The emperor's soul by Brandon Sanderson The witchlands by Susan Dennard The murderbot diaries by Martha Wells Montague siblings by Mackenzi Lee Lost boy: the true story of Captain Hook by Christina Henry Queens of geek by Jen Wilde American panda by Gloria Chao The woman in the tree: the true story of Camelot by Natasha D.

I like reading something I would never pick up (new genre or something) when I’m in a slump bc it either makes me further try new things or it’s bad and reminds me what I love and I pick up one of those to reaffirm my love
Honestly, the best thing for me for getting out of a reading slump is a thriller/mystery. Something high stakes and fast-paced...of which there seem to be millions, thankfully.
I would recommend The Arc of Sythe series by Neal Shusterman and The Lockwood & Co. Series by Jonathan Stroud. Arc of Scythe had a really intriguing plot and I loved the world. It was easy to get into and I personally liked the characters and did find them relatable. Also we have the best AI ever. ^^ Lockwood & Co. has a really cool world, in my opinion. You get a little thrown in there and it is fast paced, but the story is still understandable and starts to make more and more sense. And for me... Jonathan Stroud just can write characters... man.... they feel so incredibly human and they are flawed and sometimes reckless but you still end up loving every single one of them because he makes you understand, where they are coming from. :3
I'm surprised Dark Matter didn't score higher on Intrigue to be included! This inspired me to do the same using my Cawpile: Warbreaker, ACOTAR, ACOMAF, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Heartstopper, This Poison Heart, Lore Olympus, Beach Read, Book Lovers, Girls of Paper and Fire, Dark Matter, Oona Out of Order, Go Deep (Karin Slaughter), Babel, Aquicorn Cove, The Last Housewife, The Night Circus, The Hazel Wood, Addie Larue, ...
the bridge kingdom duology really got me out of a slump!! i love fantasy and i love romance, so i'm not sure why i didn't pick up a fantasy romance sooner. i binged both books in a day
LOVE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS & PERFECT REVIEWS! (Haven’t read any yet😂) BUT I LOVE the variety and it was easy for me to see what I would be interested and not. And I love the honesty and mentions of IMPORTANT details like what is & is not fast paced, and how long the books are when they’re short or have pictures and different details inside!
Remarkably Bright Creatures, one of the POV is an octopus. All That’s Left Unsaid generational trauma, relationships. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow cause I just freakin loved it. None of these are in my usual wheel house but so glad I picked them up. All got 5 stars. TRIGGER warnings for all of them. So, needless to say I pick up books not in my usual genre when I’m in a slump.
There are 2 things that can help me to get out of the reading slump: 1) Thrillers/Detective/Murder Mysteries 2) So-called "Guilty pleasure books", smth very easy or naive,some love,funny romantic nonsense. Smth where I don't need to think at all.
Sam: how about Gideon everyone else: SAM NO anyway my highest intrigues this year have been The Immortality Thief and When Women Were Dragons, and from last year The Six Deaths of the Saint and Undercover from the amazon short story collections, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, This is How you Lose the Time War 😁, Shara Wheeler 😘, Comfort me with Apples, Passing Strange, and Uprooted, and of course Nona the Ninth. Not sure how many of these would be slump breakers, though....
Books that took me out of my slump was Six Of Crows which is *chef kiss*. It’s one of my favorite books. Highly recommend. Also A Darker Shade Of Magic worker beautifully for me. I couldn’t put it down. It was such an amazing ride with the different outfits of Londons and Leila…so amazing. For a good book that made me cry a lot but it’s one of my favorite 5 stars and it’s quick, it’s called The Fault In Our Stars. Boy oh boy I cried on that book but it was such a masterpiece I read it in one sitting and after that I was shattered. Yet, It’s one of my top 5 books ever. If you like horror Mexican Gothic it’s perfrct to push you out of the slump, Mystery I would say One Of Us is Lying and Heartstoppers it’s a perfect graphic novel to pull you out.
If you like fairytales, I recommend the Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo. They’re super short books about a historian with a magical bird sidekick and they go around recording stories and myths and stuff.
Someone commented that what gets them out of a slump is graphic novels and Manga. I am having the opposite problem: Manga is more enjoyable for me to read right now, whereas I keep putting down traditional books. I did order one Manga and one traditional book (the darkest part of the forest by holly black.) So we will see if this gets me reading traditional books and not just manga!
I think books by Freida mcfadden are really good to get you out of reading slumps. One By One, Ward D, Inmate, Never Lie. I read all these last year and its really surprising cuz i rarely read so many books by the same author in the same year.
I don't know about other people, but for me what helps during a slump is reading books with humour. It can be non-fiction (Hyperbole and a Half is a graphic novel, but I still read it very fast, because I couldn't put it down, also all 3 of Jenny Lawson's books were great), or fiction. TJ Klune has a lot of books I love, but the one that I'd recommend for someone like me who is in a slump is The Lightning-Struck Heart. I just could not stop reading it.
Had to go check my high intrigue fantasies to see if there were any and the only I have is the Lies of Locke Lamora. It's definitely the slowest of the high intrigue books I have, but it really did hook me in
Any books of Blake Crouch. Jodi Taylor: The St. Mary Chronicles, I just read book 7th, there's two more. Interesting story, good humour, good characters. When I was younger I read a lot of Dean R. Koontz and I could read them one/two sittings, stayed up until 4 in the morning (not anymore, I'm old). Probably will be an unpopular opinion but the books of Ken Follett are really intriguing, doesn't matter that they are over 1000 pages, I read them in days. The traveling cat chronicles, it will make you cry for sure but it's a short book and there's a cat in it. There is a Hungarian author who writes adventure books, there are multiple multiple characters and there's usually something out of this world solutions or mythical figures in his books, I love them.
i absolutely agree with 4 of your recommendations - A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, Lore Olympus (of course 😜😂), I'm Glad My Mum Died and Summer Frost! i'd personally add They Both Die At the End to the list, it took me out of a really bad reading slump! and also Heartstopper 🥰 i'm adding the rest of those you've mentioned to my TBR, saving them for the next time i'm feeling slumpy :D
I'm so happy you mentioned Traitor's Blade! Just started the Greatcoats series! Finished the first one last month, it has a fantastic audiobook version, too. There was only one chapter that made me uncomfortable while reading it, but it didn't stop me from putting the next 3 books on my TBR list.
I loved this series! I wish it got more attention. I think the various books are distinct enough that they don’t feel like filler, but cohesive enough the main plot is always moving forward. So many feels!
@endlessshelf Ah, I agree it really is! I'm so glad to hear that it is consistently good ♡ I plan on reading the next 3 over the next couple of months. :)
The book by Frederik Backman (sp?) that you mentioned, I will be reading this month and it's intimidating as hell because I know I will cry and I know it will bring up some memories of both my grandparents that, you know, don't quite heal, but I want to read this so that I can pass this on to my kids to read when they are much older and so we can have a discussion about it. If you are in a slump I definitely suggest The Davaebad trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty, epic fantasy that I devoured. Also, another series that I like, but I don't remember what it's called is by John Gwynne, the first book is called Malice. It's about 600 pages, but I couldn't stop reading it, also multiple POV. I just started Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree or Baldree and I am having too much fun in it, it's a cozy fantasy and makes me want to have more coffee than I am allowed. Another suggestion and a series is the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, it's an easy Sci-fi ready, all the books so far with the exception of book 5 are novellas. Easy to read in one sitting and the next book comes out this summer. If you like manga then definitely Spy Family, it's cute, fun, hilarious, and just overall you can read a volume in half a day. I adore this and I need to start watching the anime for it. That's all I have and I am sure there are even better suggestions than mine. Hope I was helpful. 😊💕💕💕
Girl, serpent, thorn is great to get over a reading slump! it's a fantasy standalone, it's about 300 pages. it's super fast paced, ut may not be perfect but I loved it! I had a great time reading it. I would also recommend This savage song by Victoria Schwab! that book is amazing. this one is about 400 pages I believe. it's quick and fun, the writing is so good and there's monsters and such a cute friendship.
Omg!!! I love your editions to A good girls guide to murder 😭.. That was such a good series IMO and I agree it’s a good book to help get out of a slump
The Final Empire ( Mistborn #1) because it is a big book and high fantasy, and I still flew through it and loved every second. Then I felt good because Ive read such a chonker 😁 Nevernight, while controversial it is a lot of fun!! The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! The Winter‘s Promise and the entire Mirror Visitor Series. It is a really unique fantasy concept and it just pulls you into the world, so that you don’t want to leave 😍
I read Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn in a single sitting which I haven’t done to any book since. It’s short and so intriguing you really can’t put it down and the twists keep happening until the last few pages!
Some books I got obsessive about reading: Dark Matter, Recursion, Scythe, Good girls guide to murder, Spells for forgetting, Book Lovers, The midnight library, The nature of witches, If we were villains, Educated, Thank you for listening, The last housewife, The night swim (especially on audio!). And the list could go on 😅
I find contemporaries tend to get me out of a slump because they are much faster to read. A recent one I liked was Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour
Ok so this is going to sound crazy but the book that got me out of a 2 year reading slump was House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski. Certainly not the easiest read but I’ve never read anything like it! If you want a different read this is the book for you.
I've read two other stories from the Forward Collection (you suggested Summer Frost, which I haven't read yet) and they were amazing reads! Very short, very quick, very accessible. I usually reread Kiss of Snow (Psy-Changeling series #10) or Archangel's Blade (Guild Hunter series #4), but not sure someone would like to read from the middle of the series 😅
The one thing that gets me out of a reading slump almost every time: graphic novels and manga.
Not a specific book recommendation but I think rereading an old favorite can help with a reading slump! You already know what happens, you already know you’re going to enjoy it, so I feel like there is less pressure than starting something new. It’s the familiarity, I think, that makes it easier to pick up a reread when you’re not really feeling like reading.

For me, what worked was reading some old favorites.
I usually reread if I'm in a reading slump- but I'm definitely bumping a lot of these books up on my TBR
The perfect Video at the perfect time. I've been in a slump for 2 months now... taking notes.
So excited for Magical read a thon. I read 21 books in 3 months to catch up
So excited for magical readathon!!!
LOVE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS & PERFECT REVIEWS!
(Haven’t read any yet😂) BUT I LOVE the variety and it was easy for me to see what I would be interested and not.
And I love the honesty and mentions of IMPORTANT details like what is & is not fast paced, and how long the books are when they’re short or have pictures and different details inside!
The Golden Couple had me completely hooked - definitely high in the intrigue department for me!
The Collective is extremely intriguing the main character is slightly upsetting at times but over all the books is a rollercoaster
Remarkably Bright Creatures, one of the POV is an octopus. All That’s Left Unsaid generational trauma, relationships. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow cause I just freakin loved it.

I need the gold leave that’s behind you!!! Haven’t even gotten to the book recs yet lol
The Themis Files series and Dark Matter are quick reads. Loved all of these.
8:17 is my favorite part of the video 😂😂😂

I'm not in a slump cause it isn't summer yet but I'll note some of these anyway😂
Isa from Fun Fantasy Books also posted a video today with 17 books to get you out of a reading slump
Had to go check my high intrigue fantasies to see if there were any and the only I have is the Lies of Locke Lamora. It's definitely the slowest of the high intrigue books I have, but it really did hook me in
I have this series on my TBR this year! Excited to get into it. :3
Verity and Lock Every Door both kept me reading until 4am! The endings were so-so but the ongoing intrigue was great
Any books of Blake Crouch. Jodi Taylor: The St. Mary Chronicles, I just read book 7th, there's two more. Interesting story, good humour, good characters. When I was younger I read a lot of Dean R.

The Final Empire ( Mistborn #1) because it is a big book and high fantasy, and I still flew through it and loved every second. Then I felt good because Ive read such a chonker 😁
Nevernight, while controversial it is a lot of fun!!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo!
The Winter‘s Promise and the entire Mirror Visitor Series. It is a really unique fantasy concept and it just pulls you into the world, so that you don’t want to leave 😍
I didn't realise you could put a .5 in a category like Intrigue and Writing extra I always just rounded up.
American Gods, the Hitchhikers Guide of the Galaxy series and short cozy mysterys or if that doesn’t work fanfics and stories off Wattpad.
I read Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn in a single sitting which I haven’t done to any book since. It’s short and so intriguing you really can’t put it down and the twists keep happening until the last few pages!
Some books I got obsessive about reading: Dark Matter, Recursion, Scythe, Good girls guide to murder, Spells for forgetting, Book Lovers, The midnight library, The nature of witches, If we were villains, Educated, Thank you for listening, The last housewife, The night swim (especially on audio!).

Omg yea dark matter how is that not on my list hahhaah
@@BookRoast I was wondering 🤣
Wait I think I read it before I did cawpile spreadsheets 😂
@@BookRoast That's what I assumed might have been the case 😅
I only read Good Girl’s Guide to murder! I need to pick up the other 2!
Need this right now I seem to have a lot of struggles with this lately 🤦♀️
I find contemporaries tend to get me out of a slump because they are much faster to read. A recent one I liked was Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour

Thanks for this. 😊💛
So many good books on this list!
would love a list of that for sci and fantasy.
