Books To Help Put an End to Your Book Slump

Books To Help Put an End to Your Book Slump

Aug 12, 2025

This week, I’m sharing the books that might help you break out of your reading slump. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

Reading slumps are hard! I’ve been through a few already this year, and trying to get out of them is even harder. But I’ve learnt a few tricks over the years. Sometimes I’ll go back and read a book that I’ve loved and I know will help kick-start me wanting to read more. Another thing I love to do is read some fanfiction. I don’t know what it is, but it has always helped me. The last thing that I found that helps is to pick up a book that I know that I will love, and that is what I am sharing today.

From standalones to series that are so bingeable that you will want to finish the series right away. Or many a new fantasy series that will catch your eye. Here are the books that I think might help put an end to your book slump. As usual, they are in no particular order. So let’s go!

Face Off (D.C. Stars, #1) by Chelsea Curto. | Tattered Stars (Tattered & Torn, #1) by Catherine Cowles. | Done and Dusted (Rebel Blue Ranch, #1) by Lyla Sage. | Out on a Limb (Out, #1) by Hannah Bonam-Young

A Pack for Autumn (Cozyverse, #1) by Emilia Emerson. | The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians, #1) by Lana Pecherczyk. | Taken by the Dark Elf King (Monstrous Mates, #1) by Charlotte Swan. | Plier (Ironside Academy #1) by Jane Washington

Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling. | Babymoon or Bust by Ava Hunter

There we go, those are just some of the books that I think might help you the next time you are in a reading slump! Have you read any of these? What books do you read when you’re trying to get out of a slump? So, let’s chat!

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
