✨13 BOOKS TO GET YOU BACK INTO READING AND OUT OF A READING SLUMP!✨ 

I'm in possibly the worst reading slump ever. I'm in California visiting my sister and brother in law and I cannot wait to visit Barnes and Noble because I've looking forward since I've stepped foot in America 🇺🇲🤩

Love this channel!! I've gotten so many amazing book recommendations from you! I read over 40 books last year because of this channel

I just finished a thriller called First Lie Wins for the readathon, and I gave it 5 stars. I feel like it'd be good to get you out of a sump because it's a QUICK quick read, that will have you flipping pages and your heart racing! Very twisty! I highly recommend it.

My go-to reading slump buster is Garden Spells and/or Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen. I especially love the audio for.Lost Lake.

Jumping from the readathon into a new video is peak Sunday goodness 👌✨🦊

Here's your cherry 🍒 And a book I'll recommend is Small Spaces by Katherine Arden. And you know what! I'm actually reading The adventures of Amina al-sirafi at the moment, and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed starting it, but I guess I'll read it now that you say you loved it!

The Wayward Children series got me out of a reading slump 🥰 thank you for recommending it over and over on your channel

Thanks for the recommendations Lexi!! I love your channel and being a part of your book club! I’ve really enjoyed all of the book club picks so far this year ☺️🍒

My go-to is Freida McFadden! Easy, fun, and fast! I also like cozy mysteries!

Ok you got me at the Princess Bride! I'm going to have to read Tress of the Emerald Sea ASAP! Thank you Lexi for all the amazing recommendations!

@16:27 "The Princess Vibe" I love it! I also just found your channel. It's great! Thanks for this video.

I would recommend The Push by Ashley Audrain, The Mindf*ck series by S T Abby, Couplets: A love Story by Maggie Milner, or Belladonna by Adalyn Grace to get out of a slump!!

I always love your recommendations!! 🍒

🍒 I just stumbled upon your channel and this video had me adding every book to my TBR! So many I’d never heard of before, so thank you!!

🍒thanks I added one of these to my TBR. You rock!

This video comes at a great time! I’m between reads and on the verge of slumping, hopefully I own of these recommendations 👀

I love your recs, thank you!

What could be a better video topic than this? I love getting a run down of amazing books! My recommendations: 1) ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ (it’s an easy young adult thriller with an engaging mystery - gives ‘Serial’ podcast vibes), 2) ‘Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil’ (super fun eccentric characters and location (Savannah, GA) with a murder mystery throw in. It’s got all the fun southern vibes and rich people drama. It reads like a fictional novel except that it’s based on a true story! And the movie is awesome too.)

Really appreciate how excited you are to explain these books. And I totally need a humor book right now so this is great.

Ooooh love the glowy natural makeup look and the lifeguard suit inspired top for the summer! 🤍🧡❤️

Thanks for the recommendations!

Great video, as always!! I just recently completely ate up A Fellowship of Bakers and Magic, it’s super cozy, not a damn thing happens lol, but it’s so good! Think Legends & Lattes, but with a baking competition. I loved it! 🍒

When you popped up on my RU-vid notifications, my first thought was… Oh yes, I love her! Your description of pineapple street was the best, you described it very well.

I just read the Unmaking of June Farrow and loved it so much that I can’t bring myself to start a new book. This was great timing! Thank you!

Loved this video! 🌷🩷 Anxious people by fredrick backman and the bodyguard by katherine center were both books that got me out of my reading slump! Also both were 5 star reads and all time fav now!☀️🌷

🍒. Such great books suggestions! Definitely will be picking up a few of these!!

Yay, a new video😊🍒. I’m going through a dnf phase. Everything I pick up I put down in a day. I think I may start the Other Half or Less. Have a great week. Ooh and my rec would be Mistborn, Era 1 book 1.

Watching your vids get my out of slump :) thanks for all you do

Thank you for your great reviews and book recommendations! Now I've added even more to my ever growing TBR.... 🍒

I love your videos and book recommendations! I always go to your channel to see what you recommend and they are always so good. It’s like going to a friend! :-)

Absolutely adding so many of these to my TBR right now!!! Also, where did you get your gorgeous red tank from Lexi? It's giving lifeguard/stranger things/summery vibes and I'm here for it 😊

I actually listen to on audio and love many titles that are on your list ( I just finished ‘Bad Summer People’ after you recommended it in your last video) I think I will just watch your video for any title recommendations from now on 😊

That top is everything. It’s giving 80’s lifeguard mixed with Tomato Girl Summer. Thank you for your content!!!

I'm so glad to see Maud Ventura in english ! I loved this book ! a new one is coming out une french in august and it I feel it's going to be a good one already ! By the way, loving your channel since years, thanks for all the good recommandations.

For those in a reading slump, I always tend to recommend fun and light books, like you just said. Right now I am reading The Husbands by Holly Gramazio, and it's so fun! It's basically the story of a young woman coming home from a night out to find a man in her house. The man acts like he knows her and wears a ring. She quickly realizes he is her husband. At some point he climbs up in the attic. Another man comes down. Truns out that every time her husband gets in the attic, another husband reappears, along with another life (her phone content changes, her physical appearance changes slightly, so does her apartment). Can't wait to see how this story will unfold. Last week I finished reading My Husband after you recommended it in your last video and I LOVED IT!!!!! A strong 5 stars! And like you said, there were episodes in which I kinda recognized myself LOL. And the twist at the end, just scrumptious! 🍒

The whole way through I was thinking of books I thought Alexandra might enjoy, so I thought I'd leave them here incase anyone wants some more recs. Side note: I read a lot of different genres so I'm going to choose one book from a few different genres. Light fantasy, for someone looking to get into fantasy but not too extravagant or hard to follow, I would recommend The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater. In short a book about a group of teenagers who are trying to find this long lost welsh king called Glendower. The twist? Our main character blue is destined to cause her true love to dies, and her true love is a member of this friend group.... For some fantasy that's a little more fantastical but still a good one for beginners, Divine Rivals. Technically a fantasy romance but it still counts. This is set in a sort of world war one like war where we follow Iris Winnow as she becomes a war correspondant. I won't spoil any more than that, but trust me, it's good. For literary fiction, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. This is a mixture of romance, thriller and mystery but since I didn't want to put it in all three it's going here. This follows our MC (Sorry I forgot her name) as she is asked to do an exclusive interview with a legendary actress Evelyn Hugo. As we get deeper and deeper in, darker parts of Evelyn's career are explored and there's a plot twist that will shock you and change your whole opinion on this book. For a YA thriller I'm going to go with One of us is lying. I know there are some people who hate this book, but I think it's good enough to at least get you into the habit of reading. It basically follows five students who walk into detention but only four walk out alive. We follow the aftermath and the lives of the four students as they slowly start to investigate for themselves and form friendships with each other. Secrets get revealed all over the place and I don't think you can put this down once you've started. For an adult thriller I'm going to go with Battle Royale by Koshun Takami. This is usually regarded as YA/ New Adult but I think some of the themes are really triggering. In short this is a book which is slightly similar to The Hunger Games. 42 students from a Japanese school are placed on an island to fight each other to the death. The interesting thing about this book, is that while there is a main character, we actually get a perspective from most of their classmates. This gives you an insight into every character and you genuinely get to see every death as they happen. It's dark, gory and super twisted. I know this is over 600 pages, but trust me. Read to at least page 50 and you'll be hooked. Lastly an Adult Horror (actually one of the only horror books I've enjoyed) The Passengers by John Marrs. This book is one of the most twisted I've ever read and it's such a unique concept. It's set in a future where most of the population has self driving cars. We follow eight people who get into their cars one morning and their cars get hijacked by someone who tells them they're going to die. The hijacker broadcasts the entire thing online and gets the public to vote on who they want to die, revealing their darkest secrets along the way. This book is twisted and will have you even questioning your own moral standpoint as you ask whether you'd rather save a murderer or someone who's been cheating on their partner for over twenty years and living a double life.... And cause I love giving recs, here's a few extras. LGTBQ+ romance/ fantasy- The house in the cerulean sea by TJ Klune Middle grade - Scarlet and Ivy The lost twin, by Sophie Cleverly YA/LGBTQ+ romace- They both die at the end Hope you all enjoy and happy reading

🍒 I love how you’re always giving fresh recommendations, majority of these books sound great and I’ve never heard of them before

Great recommendations! 🍒❤

I zoomed through the YOU series during quarantine🤷🏼‍♀️ the first recommendation here sounds fun. And definitely perfect for summer and “romanticizing the season”🤓🤩

Thank you!!! I’ve been in a reading slump, and I’ve been looking for something to get me out of it

I always enjoy your recommendations! I think "Nettle and bone" by T. Kingfisher is a great fantasy book to get one out of a reading slump 🍒

This video was amazing and I just added most of the books to my list. I would recommend The Selection: It’s a dystopian and a great series that focuses on America and the complications of love and competing for Maxon’s heart. I cried for 2 hours during the 2nd book and 2 days during the 3rd. The Inheritance Games: is also a great series, it’s a mystery following Avery who randomly inherits a millionaires money and follows her and the Hawthorne brothers to figure out why

I highly recommend the audiobook for The Bandit Queens I really enjoyed it, surprisingly funny as well which allowed the book to address heavy topics without the reader feeling weighed down.

🍒 excellent books love your content 😊

Hello Alexandra Roselyn, good evening! How nice this new video of yours. You look beautiful🌹, as always. Happy weekend 😀 🤗

I really enjoyed reading My Best Friend's Exorcism. It had a lot of references to the 80s that I remembered from back in my school days. To answer the QOTD, the book that got me out of a reading slump was Harmony Black by Craig Schaefer. It's an urban fantasy story and is an offshoot of his Daniel Faust series. I got it as a Kindle First book and quickly followed it up by reading the other available books. I then started reading the Faust series, which if reading in chronological order, should be read first. I don't feel that I lost any enjoyment from reading the Harmony Black books first and actually loved getting to learn more about characters that I really enjoyed. Craig Schaefer has since been an automatic read author for me.

love all of your videos! I would definitely recommend Sunrise by the Sea by Jenny Colgan and A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid. They are my first two books of the year which I have rated 5/5 stars. :)

Love the recs! Definitely Grady Hendrix gets me out of slumps and I’d also give a note to Emily Henry for her romances. Book Lovers and Happy Place in particular I flew through. Can’t wait to read her new one!

Last summer, I read Fairy Tale by Stephen King. Of the many books I've read, this one surprised me the most. I really enjoyed it while reading, loved it when I finished it, and adored it when I started the after reading think moments. Also, the audio book is FANTASTIC!!!

30 seconds in and the editing is sooo good!!!

If u need an easy cosy read , pick up anything by Ruskin Bond. I always finish his books in one day flat, no matter how big of a slump im in!! Such an u derrated author!

Hi Lexi! A book that would definitely get you out of a reading slump is Dial A For Aunties (and the sequels) by Jesse Q Sutanto. It's hilarious and showcases the power of looking after your family.

So excited to get some new recommendations for some good books😍 I've been slumpy for a while now so I'm all ears😁

3 books revived my reading slumps at different slump periods i.e. the first being Cat Among Pigeons, Agatha Christie; The Hunting Party, Lucy Foley; & Still Life, Louise Penny. Book #1, it's Agatha Christie - 'nuff said; Book #2 change of pace from what I usually read. I was just sucked in; Book #3, for some reason, it reminded me of the British TV show "Midsomer Murders" even though the backdrop is Canada. So cozy and comfortable to me. Loved it.

Such a great video!! 🍒 to get out of a reading slump I would recommend The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. It's one of my favorite series. It's so interesting and the characters are amazing.YA, Small town, rich boys, tarot/witchy vibes, unexplainable magic things. (Not explaining it very well but I love it.) First time reading it I didn't know what was going on in the best ways. twists and turns. and the audio book is fantastic!!

I added several to my TBR list, thanks! I know a lot of people really enjoy The Midnight Library, but I personally enjoyed Matt Haig's The Humans so much more. It was funny and made you think about some of the actions/things that may not have a good reason for -- but we do them because that's what we as a species have always done. Or our obsessions from an "outside view". And yet, even with our many flaws, we are loveable. None of this reveals anything about the book, these are just my own personal reflections after reading the book.

The Girls I’ve Been got into my list from your earlier recommendation and it’s currently checked out!

Miss Percy’s pocket guide books are a must if you’re in a slump. Dragons and cosy and humour what’s not to like

Loved everyone of your suggestions and the variety. Good job! A book that I think you would enjoy is Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. It’s also been made into a 2023 TV miniseries. Read the book first. 😉🍒

No Exit by Taylor Adams is a perfect book to get someone out of a reading slump. It’s sooooo fast paced.

And my suggestion for a book to get you back into reading or out of a reading slump Highly Recommend Belladonna and Foxglove I Absolutely Loved Those Books and can’t wait for the third installment this year Wisteria 📚 Have a Fantastic Day Lexi & Happy Reading 📖🍒😊

One book I really loved was The Library of Shadows by Mikkel Birkegaard. I don't care about the rating because it is so subjective and being older, I've observed that almost everything written before 2015 gets only under 4 stars. Even the classics. 🍒🍒🍒

I've been slowly but surely making my way through the ACOTAR series for the first time and ACOMAF (where I'm at rn) has already really helped me to get out of my reading slump🍒

House in the Cerulean Sea is my feel-good book at the moment. I reread it to pull out of a slump.

Yes, I need this!! 🍒

Loved!🍒

🍒 Thanks! I've added 2 more books to my wishlist

So many great recommendations! 🍒🍒🌸🍒🍒🌸🍒🍒

OMG! I love House of Hunger the cover is gorgeous one of my favorites books 🌈📚📖🍒🍒🍒📚📙📙🪻🪻🌻🌹🌹🧡🤎🤎🫶🏻💚💚🪷📖📚🌈📙📙📖🍒🪻🪻🌻💜🧡💐💙💙💙📙📙📚📚📖📚📙📙

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I read it years ago when it first came out, and still think of it regularly. So happy to see its becoming a TV series.

ACOTAR is what reignited my love of reading after years of not reading for fun.

🍒 Ooh I personally love a good easy read, like I have recently got into Sarah Adams (romcoms) and absolutely LOVE what I have read so far (When In Rome), I have just started Practice Makes Perfect and I only read half a page and already know it will be another fav (the main character is an introvert with social anxiety and I relate to her so much!!)! So I reccomend her if you like romcoms! Or something like Little Women or Anne Of Green Gables as they were easy and quick reads!

The dragonlance chronicles are always my go to when I need to get out of a reading slump 🍒

shorter books, short chapters & compelling characters that keep you turning pages are key for slumps. Also picking up something from an author you’ve enjoyed reading before. If these fit into a series, one book easily leads into another. Suggestions for mystery: The Thursday Murder Club, fantasy: Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire, cozy magical realism: anything by Sarah Addison Allen, literary: Alice Hoffman

🍒some great recommendations thank you Lexi

I would recommend Remarkably Bright Creatures 🐙 and side note love olipop. 🍒

Love this ❤

Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica, Renegades by Marissa Meyer, and The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

I always recommend reading a childhood fav if you're in a reading slump. Something you've already read and loved AND that's also a fast read. Here are some fast reads I loved; Amari and the Night Brothers (middlegrade), The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy (middlegrade), I Who Have Never Known Men (adult/ lit fic), The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives (adult/lit fic), Every Single Lie (YA), Words in Deep Blue (YA), House of Hollow (YA), In A Dark Dark Wood (Adult)... I could go on but I better stop here aha

Loved Fairytale by Stephen King…..amazing!!! First book I ever read by him and I was shocked how much I loved it! It has stuck with me…great fantasy adventure with lots of wisdom thrown in…plus a dog! Highly recommend 🍒❤

🍒 I highly recommend Half a Soul for getting out of a book slump! It's short, the writing is whimsy and gripping , it's funny And romantic. I read it in two days and smiled the whole time.

Once apon a broken heart trilogy 💔 it got me hooked and the fantcy world is so whimsical i never wanted to leave it ❤❤❤ the romance to was so sweet ! My favorite now

Not having a great day, but your positivity definitely helps ❤

I’m in a horrible reading slump… this video is for me

The Finlay Donovan series! A wild romp of a series. Funny 😂

🍒 I would recommend The House in the Cerulean Sea and then I would recommend Under the Whispering Door. I love the writing

Frozen River by Ariel Lawton jolted me out of my slump.

🍒 🍒 do you think The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi is a summery book? How about Tress? I’m a seasonal mood reader and I’m wondering where these would fit in

The book that helped me here recently was Mrs. Quinns Rise to Fame. 77 year old women enters in the British Bake Off and it tells about life doing that and a secret from the past. It was so good. I read it in less than 24hrs!!

I finished Bandit Queens yesterday, it was a great read

Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi it is! Also it’s been a while since I’ve been on the receiving end of a QOTD, let’s see… It depends on the preferred genre of the reader of course, but I would recommend Six of Crows. Or The Martian! 🍒

🍒 I would recommend The Worst Case Scenario Cookery Club by Chrissie Manby or Good Material by Dolly Alderton. Thank you for a fun video Lexi. ❤

I recommend The Seven Year Slip or Better than the Movies for a reading slump!! 🍒🍒🍒

Literally just added all of these to my TBR 🥹 been feeling so bleh recently and this definitely motivated me!

I would like to know if i can read Tress of the Emerald Sea as a standalone. I see it everywhere, but i'm not into Brandy Sandy or reading a 10 book series, so those of you who read it - can i read it as a standalone? Thank youu💖 also Lexi, you always put me in a reading mood with your videos, and I thank you for that.
