Getting out of a reading slump

[Mary]

I want to get out of my reading slump, do you have any fast-paced, fun, and stand-alone book recommendations ?
( Preferably closed-door/ clean books)

What kinds of genres do you like?

[Mary]

any genres, I would like to try new things. I am mostly used to reading fantasy, rom-coms, and mystery

Hm, standalones are hard.

Have you tried Anna and the French Kiss?

Or Austenland?

Dear Mr. Knightley was another I enjoyed.

Heart's Blood by Juliette Marillier is a good standalone fantasy

Immortal Mistake is a new book by Adele Jones (she writes science fiction), although it relates to a trilogy she wrote.

Signal Erased is another new one of hers. I haven't read it yet but I believe it's a standalone.

I have also written a standalone sci-fi, if you want to try that.

Thanks Lynne ;)

i have a couple:
1) Sphere by Michael Crichton
this is more sci-fi than fantasy and be prepared to read the pages more than one time ;)

2) 5 feet apart by Mikki Daughtry, Rachel Lippencott, and Tobias Iaconis
omg I cried so hard with this one. it's basically fault in our stars but with cystic fibrosis instead of cancer

3) Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene
ik, ik, these books are really easy, but I find that when trying to get out of a slump, it's best to start with short, attention grabbing books. these aren't stand alone but they are super episodical, so you can read them completely out of order or only read 1 and it will still make sense
my favorite Nancy Drews are Secret of the old clock and the mystery at lilac inn

hope this helps! <3

my last read was As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson and that book was so good it put me in a reading slump i cried so much and I've tried to read my dark Vanessa and i didn't feel normal reading a book i hate to say i felt like i didn't like reading anymore so i dnf'ed it for now and then i moved on and started reading The Song of Achilles and i felt the same way so i came to the realization that i am in a reading slump i am taking time and just to stop reading until the time was right but i just hate this i am thinking about The Silent Patient as my next read but let me know what i should read ( i like sad books )
