I'm currently in a huge reading slump, I have no motivation to read recently and everything I pick up I just put right back down. What are some of your suggestions for books to pull me out of a reading slump? Page-turners are welcome, I usually read Fantasy, Scifi, and Literary Fiction– but I'm open to try anything!

The Haters by Jesse Andrews
The Dresden Files
Ilona Andrews Innkeeper Chronicles –A magic Inn, space werewolves and vampires, a lot of really unique aliens, mystery, romance, action, a fun and humorous series
I’m almost done reading *Red Rising* by Pierce Brown, and I’d definitely recommend it.
Otherwise, I have to mention *The Bound and the Broken* series by Ryan Cahill, the *Silo* series by Hugh Howey and *The Expanse* series by James S.A. Corey.
Martyr!
Also, when I’m in a slump I try to re-read something I know I’ll like. I don’t know if that might work for you.
I know some people like to read short story collections on a slump. That doesn’t work for me, but it might for you.
You might like anything by Rose George, Judy Melinek, Caitlin Doughty, or Mary Roach.
“The Gift of Fear” (a very important read) by Gavin De Becker.
“Five days at Memorial: life and death in a storm-ravaged hospital” by Sherri Fink.
Rosemarys Baby, The Lamb, Hidden Pictures, The Memory Police, Boy Parts
The Blacktongue thief by Christopher Buehlman had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page.
His book Between Two Fires got me back into reading after a decade dry spell.
