    2 years ago I read over 100 books.
    Last year I read about 45.
    I’ve read none this year though I’ve started 5 different ones.

    I’m just in a slump.

    What book got you back into reading?

    1. Red Rising by Pierce Brown.. Hadn’t read in years but picked it up and couldn’t put it down. Started me back on my reading journey.

      God of the Woods by Liz Moore. I was going through disappointing books after another and then I read this and my TBR list just bloated up because I was suddenly so inspired to read more!

      The Bee Sting by Paul Murray got me out of a bad pregnancy-induced slump last year.

      I’d been having a reading slump for a couple of years when *The Goldfinch* came out. That cured me—I couldn’t put it down!

    5. Convenience Store Woman got me out of a slump a year ago. Great if you’re looking for something short that packs a punch.

      Honestly the girl with the dragon tattoo got me good a couple years ago. Any thriller really is good when I’m in a slump.

      Recently? A Wolf Called Wander by Roseanne Parry and Japanese Death Poems by Yoel Hoffman. I’m… actually still in the… whatever the polar opposite of a slump is, because of that last one.

      The Shining by Stephen King. Haven’t put a book down since August of 2019 because of that bad boy

    9. I have 3 suggestions.
      1. The Goat Brothers By Larry Colton,
      This should be required reading for all highschool seniors.
      2. A Fine Balance By Rohan Mistry,
      The Book that got me back to reading.
      3. L.A. Rex By Will Beall,
      This should be a T.V. series.
      Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
