I’ve been in this reading slump for about 5 months and I hate it. I can’t seem to get out of it. I need some new suggestions. To maybe help, I am going to say my favourite books and genres
Some of my Favourite books:
The secret history
Iron widow
Daughter of The Moon Godess
The telegraph Club
Dead Poets society (I know the movie came first)
The book thief
I like historical fiction (when it takes place during the 20th century) and crime. Psychological fiction is also good. I am not a big fan of romance (with the exception of books like the telegraph club because it is also historical fiction), Sci fi or fantasy. I know two of the books I named are fantasy technically but those ones are more based on mythology.
Thank you 😊

I just read White Chrysanthemum and it was so good. Slight trigger warning but a good historical fiction book.
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
I have done some searching into the depths of the Internet (not really, but that makes it sound more interesting), and I have found some books similar to the ones you have already read. Because you have read The Secret History, maybe you should try reading If We Were Villains. I have only read the recommendations on waterstones. However, it seems similar to The Secret History, so I think you would enjoy it. I haven’t read Iron Widow. However, I have read She Who Became The Sun and enjoyed it very much. When looking online, it says that they are similar and it is based on ancient Mongolia. For Daughter Of The Moon Goddess, I would recommend Heart Of The Sun Warrior. You said that you like The Telegraph maybe try A Scatter Of Light. However, I haven’t read it, so I don’t know how heavy romance it is. For Dead Poets Society, maybe try The Night Is Darkening Around Me and For The Book Theif try The Messenger as they are both by the same author.
You also said you liked crime books so I would suggest the One Of Us Is Lying Series by Karen M Mcmanus. I have read all of her books and really enjoyed them. You could also try a few if Anthony Horowitz’s books or Agatha Christie.
If you are leaning more towards the Mythology side I would recommend Song Of Achilles or Circe. I love Greek Mythology and have read Circe before. It remains on of my favourite books.
Hope this helps 🙂
