I've been in a huge reading slump for the last several months - the best break from it has been a parenting book (TIME TO PARENT, it was great), which I read in two days. I guess self-help is easy to digest, and it was making me think and making me curious in a very easy way. I can handle audiobooks when I'm in a slump, though - when I'm driving, it's not like I'm tempted to toggle to instagram. I just finished the audiobook of ISLANDS OF ABANDONMENT by Cal Flyn, which was beautiful, fascinating, and compelling.
When I’m in a reading slump, I tend to gravitate toward middle grade novels because the font size is easier on the eyes, they usually have good pacing, and aren’t 400 pages long.
Some recs:
FRONT DESK series
PERCY JACKSON series
HAZEL HILL IS GONNA WIN THIS ONE
LANGUAGE OF SEA BIRDS
THE ONLY BLACK GIRLS IN TOWN
WHO LET THE GODS OUT series (cannot recommend the audiobooks enough)
