An Ember in the Ashesby Sabaa Tahir , thank you for your military service .

I am a reader girly through and through, and there’s nothing I hate more than getting into a reading slump. Whether the slump was caused by reading a book I didn’t like or was because I had to prioritize other things, finding a book to get me out of a slump can sometimes be a challenge. So, fellow readers, I’m curious to know: What book got you out of a deep reading slump?

Maybe going through school ruined your love for reading, so you lost interest for a long time. But then, you found yourself on BookTok and started reading the oh-so-popularA Court of Thorns and Rosesseries by Sarah J. Maas, and you were lovingly thrown back into your reading era.

Maybe you began reading a book and realized you didn’t like it as much as you thought, so you took weeks and weeks to read it. You found yourself in a slump, but then you picked up a whodunnit book likeThe Paris Apartmentby Lucy Foley, and suddenly life felt magical again.

Or maybe you were in a reading slump and decided to pick up and re-read one of your favorite books. Not only was it nostalgic, but you fell back in love with the characters and story. At the risk of sounding dramatic, not only did reading it get you out of the reading slump, but it was also kind of ~healing~.
