Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books Guaranteed to Put an End to Your Book Slump



Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.    

Happy Tuesday! Hope you're having a great week. This week's topic is made up of recommendations to end a reading slump. I will break mine down into genres so it is more specific.

 Your Book Slump

I like how you grouped your suggestions by genre. I haven't read any of them, but I recognized a few of the authors or titles.

Such a diverse list! I'm tempted to add Confessions of a Prairie Bitch to my TBR (and wishlist).
