Thank you, Agnes!

Sorry you’re in a slump, I hope you’re able to find something to pull you out of it! ♥︎

These are my favorites re-reads: Honeymoon for One - Keira Andrews ( this book brought me out of a slump, it was pulling at my heart strings from the beginning. It’s very relationship focused and there’s nothing big and dramatic happening but low stress stories are usually my favorite anyways. I think this will always be my all time favorite book )

Fall - Claire Kent ( also brought me out of a slump, I mainly go back to two scenes in the story that give me the feels )

Thank you, Jess -- I hope so too since they're the worst! 💜

Do I need to read the others in that series for Kent? I really liked her post apocalyptic reads. Also, it's only 170 pages and I usually only read close to/above 300 pages because I find they aren't developed enough for my liking when they're significantly shorter -- is that a problem?

I’m pretty sure it’s a standalone, unless the FMC had appeared in one of the other books but I remember it was my first read in the series and I didn’t feel like I missed anything. I also recently recommended it to a friend and she enjoyed it as a stand-alone too. 🤔

There’s definitely a lot of things that could’ve been fleshed out more in the story and I didn’t notice the page count before and that would explain why it felt like such a short read. 😂 even with that being said it still felt well rounded and complete if you like the author I really think it’s worth a try especially since it’s not too long you won’t be wasting too much time if you don’t like it, yah?

For historicals:
'A Week To Be Wicked' by Tessa Dare is my go to re-read.
Also, 'The Perfect Rake' by Anne Gracie

For contemporaries, I've been really enjoying the Winston Brothers series on audio. It's excellent!

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me! By Mariana Zapata. Only if you like slow burns

I hear ya! I think there's some others by her that I've hesitated with just because of the page count...so I probably just need to get over that and try it out! 😅 thanks for the info!

Thanks, I've added The perfect Rake because I've already read the Dare one 🤗

I like her voice, but I am too impatient for her suuuuuuuuuppppper slow burns. I know I'm a minority there and I hate it because so many of my GR friends love her and her book blurbs always intrigue me! Thank you though 😉

elsie silver is great for a book slump! have you read flawless yet?

ugh slumps are the worst! i hope you're able to recover from it soon :) for me it's what price paradise by katherine allred, kiss an angel by SEP, birthday girl by penelope douglas, and unbreak my heart by nicole jacquelyn - happy reading!

Anything written by Abby Jimenez or Mhairi McFarlane. Four star reads every time!!

Alice Coldbreath’s “ A bride for the Prizefighter” or her Vawdrey brothers series. Love your review breakdowns so hope you get out of your slump soon.

No, I haven't! I read the second one and enjoyed it, so I really should -- thanks! 💕

They really are 😣

What price Paradise has been one I've been considering re-reading because I really do love the unrequited/angsty stuff! And Kiss an Angel is one of my faves too - I just love the setting! I enjoyed birthday girl and sadly didn't enjoy unbreak my heart that much...but thanks so much for sharing! I think I'll definitely look into Paradise again 🙃

Wow, I don't think I've read either of those authors! What are your top reads for them that you'd recommend as a starter? Thanks 🤗

That one has totally missed my radar! Added it, and thanks for the kind words 💜
