frankie Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) What kinds of books do you normally like to read? Could re-reading an old favorite help you get out of the slump? I've been in a slump or two lately, and for me Louis Sachar's books have been a great help. I've read his children's book and YA books and they've been so readable and enjoyable. Maybe you could also try something a bit easier, like YA. Or maybe fast paced thrillers? Edited September 29, 2015 by frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolf woolf Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't have any specific recommendations, but perhaps short stories could be more appropriate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 My normal fall-back position in times like this is a book of Stephen KIng short stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdifficultfirstnovel Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 You need a quick win. When I had this issue, I read 'The Uncommon Reader' by Alan Bennett. Doesn't fit the genres you listed, but was finished in an hour and gave me a sense of momentum that I was struggling to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 At the risk of sounding like a stuck record, I would suggest Rivers of London. A quick, easy and enjoyable read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If I get into a slump, I sometimes go back and re-read something I know I'll enjoy and am familiar with. Perhaps you could try re-reading a favourite book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
