#SixforSunday is a meme hosted by A Little But A Lot. This week’s topic is books to get people out of reading slumps. I tried to think of a different reasons someone might be in a reading slump when choosing my recommendations. Some of them are just really fun and that’s what we need when we’re in a slump. Others appeal to a range of readers or depart from what is expected in their genre.

Recursion was a departure from my usual reading habits that turned out to be one of my favorite reads last year. It’s filled with twists and turns that make the reader think.

Silent in the Grave is the first book in the Lady Julia Grey series. This book is a perfect blend of mystery, historical fiction and romance. The quirky members of the Grey family add plenty of comic relief as well.

The Bookshop on the Corner is a book about matching people to books, that will make you laugh out loud. What better way to get out of reading slump?

The Last Train to Key West was my favorite read of 2021. This follows the formula of a lot of contemporary fiction, with multiple stories that are interconnected. It just does it better than most of them.

My (not so) Perfect Life is one of the funniest books I’ve read. But, it also makes a statement on the affect social media has on all of our perceptions of those around us.

Let’s Pretend this Never Happened was recommended to me on goodreads. At the time I wasn’t familiar with Jenny Lawson’s blog. I’ve since become a follower. You’re so busy laughing that you don’t even realize that your reading about serious problems.
