Here are some books that:
Don’t have a daunting number of pages
You can breeze through and read super quickly
Have that page-turning quality you need in a book to get you out of a reading slump
Are immersive and the kind of books where you just feel “hooked”
Because we all know we fucks need some of this every now and then to keep reading
Here we go folks these are the books I would recommend to save you from a slump! Lots of these have a healthy dose of intrigue, mystery, romance, and a driving plot which I think is really the key. Many are YA, and some are definitely lighter reads, but again this is all in favor of getting you driven to read
so uhhhh let’s just fucking get into them
