I'm in possibly the worst reading slump ever. I'm in California visiting my sister and brother in law and I cannot wait to visit Barnes and Noble because I've looking forward since I've stepped foot in America 🇺🇲🤩

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oh no I hate that for you! But omg a Barnes and Noble visit will totally cure that reading slump for sure!

[@camfan54lisa]

I hope you enjoy! My go-to for a slump is Freida McFadden! Easy, fun, and fast reads!

[@jessicaduran5830]

The Barnes &Noble in the Americana in Glendale is top tier if you are able to stop by it’s a must see

[@Sama-yd4cl]

Same!! I haven’t read since January but Lexi might resuscitate me 🤞🏻

[@vinyllloyd5259]

Love this channel!! I've gotten so many amazing book recommendations from you! I read over 40 books last year because of this channel

[@alexandraroselyn]

OMG WHAT?! That's incredible I feel so honored thank you!!

[@Josandy]

I just finished a thriller called First Lie Wins for the readathon, and I gave it 5 stars. I feel like it'd be good to get you out of a sump because it's a QUICK quick read, that will have you flipping pages and your heart racing! Very twisty! I highly recommend it.

[@alexandraroselyn]

JUST WROTE IT DOWN!!! Thank youuuu❤

[@Minkinglady]

This is my favorite of the year so far!

[@ellenrummel3347]

My go-to reading slump buster is Garden Spells and/or Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen. I especially love the audio for.Lost Lake.

[@Gillian.Ashcroft.66]

I absolutely adore Sarah Addison Allen & Alice Hoffman ❤

[@camfan54lisa]

My go-to is Freida McFadden! Easy, fun, and fast! I also like cozy mysteries!

[@Anna-dp8ee]

The Wayward Children series got me out of a reading slump 🥰 thank you for recommending it over and over on your channel

[@romalibra_books]

Jumping from the readathon into a new video is peak Sunday goodness 👌✨🦊

[@alexandraroselyn]

🥰🥰🥰

[@udishaverma7862]

Here's your cherry 🍒 And a book I'll recommend is Small Spaces by Katherine Arden. And you know what! I'm actually reading The adventures of Amina al-sirafi at the moment, and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed starting it, but I guess I'll read it now that you say you loved it!

[@fightandreadlikeagirl474]

I always reread a favorite when i am stuck in a slump. ❤🍒

[@jessicataylor7854]

I would recommend The Push by Ashley Audrain, The Mindf*ck series by S T Abby, Couplets: A love Story by Maggie Milner, or Belladonna by Adalyn Grace to get out of a slump!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oooo perfect list!! I’ll write these down!!

[@hillaryandrews1417]

Thanks for the recommendations Lexi!! I love your channel and being a part of your book club! I’ve really enjoyed all of the book club picks so far this year ☺️🍒

[@WaterBearReads]

Ok you got me at the Princess Bride! I'm going to have to read Tress of the Emerald Sea ASAP! Thank you Lexi for all the amazing recommendations!

[@kirstenhamann4930]

What could be a better video topic than this? I love getting a run down of amazing books! My recommendations: 1) ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ (it’s an easy young adult thriller with an engaging mystery - gives ‘Serial’ podcast vibes), 2) ‘Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil’ (super fun eccentric characters and location (Savannah, GA) with a murder mystery throw in. It’s got all the fun southern vibes and rich people drama. It reads like a fictional novel except that it’s based on a true story! And the movie is awesome too.)

[@billnyfeler4258]

@16:27 "The Princess Vibe" I love it! I also just found your channel. It's great! Thanks for this video.

[@laurakoehler1099]

I always love your recommendations!! 🍒

[@Krohini12]

Thanks for the recommendations!

[@michelledchen]

I am so grateful for your channel! Always find a good recs 💎 🍒! I always read thriller books from Freida when I’m in the reading slump! 🍒

[@dominiqueendeavors]

🍒thanks I added one of these to my TBR. You rock!

[@leighgm]

Ooooh love the glowy natural makeup look and the lifeguard suit inspired top for the summer! 🤍🧡❤️

[@craftychicken12]

The whole way through I was thinking of books I thought Alexandra might enjoy, so I thought I'd leave them here incase anyone wants some more recs. Side note: I read a lot of different genres so I'm going to choose one book from a few different genres. Light fantasy, for someone looking to get into fantasy but not too extravagant or hard to follow, I would recommend The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater. In short a book about a group of teenagers who are trying to find this long lost welsh king called Glendower. The twist? Our main character blue is destined to cause her true love to dies, and her true love is a member of this friend group.... For some fantasy that's a little more fantastical but still a good one for beginners, Divine Rivals. Technically a fantasy romance but it still counts. This is set in a sort of world war one like war where we follow Iris Winnow as she becomes a war correspondant. I won't spoil any more than that, but trust me, it's good. For literary fiction, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. This is a mixture of romance, thriller and mystery but since I didn't want to put it in all three it's going here. This follows our MC (Sorry I forgot her name) as she is asked to do an exclusive interview with a legendary actress Evelyn Hugo. As we get deeper and deeper in, darker parts of Evelyn's career are explored and there's a plot twist that will shock you and change your whole opinion on this book. For a YA thriller I'm going to go with One of us is lying. I know there are some people who hate this book, but I think it's good enough to at least get you into the habit of reading. It basically follows five students who walk into detention but only four walk out alive. We follow the aftermath and the lives of the four students as they slowly start to investigate for themselves and form friendships with each other. Secrets get revealed all over the place and I don't think you can put this down once you've started. For an adult thriller I'm going to go with Battle Royale by Koshun Takami. This is usually regarded as YA/ New Adult but I think some of the themes are really triggering. In short this is a book which is slightly similar to The Hunger Games. 42 students from a Japanese school are placed on an island to fight each other to the death. The interesting thing about this book, is that while there is a main character, we actually get a perspective from most of their classmates. This gives you an insight into every character and you genuinely get to see every death as they happen. It's dark, gory and super twisted. I know this is over 600 pages, but trust me. Read to at least page 50 and you'll be hooked. Lastly an Adult Horror (actually one of the only horror books I've enjoyed) The Passengers by John Marrs. This book is one of the most twisted I've ever read and it's such a unique concept. It's set in a future where most of the population has self driving cars. We follow eight people who get into their cars one morning and their cars get hijacked by someone who tells them they're going to die. The hijacker broadcasts the entire thing online and gets the public to vote on who they want to die, revealing their darkest secrets along the way. This book is twisted and will have you even questioning your own moral standpoint as you ask whether you'd rather save a murderer or someone who's been cheating on their partner for over twenty years and living a double life.... And cause I love giving recs, here's a few extras. LGTBQ+ romance/ fantasy- The house in the cerulean sea by TJ Klune Middle grade - Scarlet and Ivy The lost twin, by Sophie Cleverly YA/LGBTQ+ romace- They both die at the end Hope you all enjoy and happy reading

[@micaweaver7885]

I highly recommend the audiobook for The Bandit Queens I really enjoyed it, surprisingly funny as well which allowed the book to address heavy topics without the reader feeling weighed down.

[@rockyjreads]

This video comes at a great time! I’m between reads and on the verge of slumping, hopefully I own of these recommendations 👀

[@laurenschenck5355]

[@rubeuspotter719]

Thank you!!! I’ve been in a reading slump, and I’ve been looking for something to get me out of it

[@alexandraroselyn]

oh yay! I hope you find some books that sound okay from the list!! :)

[@Ashleanicol]

Watching your vids get my out of slump :) thanks for all you do

[@KellyonTelly]

🍒 I just stumbled upon your channel and this video had me adding every book to my TBR! So many I’d never heard of before, so thank you!!

[@homebodywitherinn3003]

I just read the Unmaking of June Farrow and loved it so much that I can’t bring myself to start a new book. This was great timing! Thank you!

[@nehmatsalaria]

Loved this video! 🌷🩷 Anxious people by fredrick backman and the bodyguard by katherine center were both books that got me out of my reading slump! Also both were 5 star reads and all time fav now!☀️🌷

[@Kimberly-oneminut]

When you popped up on my KZbin notifications, my first thought was… Oh yes, I love her! Your description of pineapple street was the best, you described it very well.

[@diw2756]

I actually listen to on audio and love many titles that are on your list ( I just finished ‘Bad Summer People’ after you recommended it in your last video) I think I will just watch your video for any title recommendations from now on 😊

[@ravenchick2]

🍒. Such great books suggestions! Definitely will be picking up a few of these!!

[@chantellevictoria8277]

I zoomed through the YOU series during quarantine🤷🏼‍♀️ the first recommendation here sounds fun. And definitely perfect for summer and “romanticizing the season”🤓🤩

[@jamiepokoj6581]

Great recommendations! 🍒❤

[@alexandraroselyn]

Thank youuuu

[@AdyGrafovna]

House in the Cerulean Sea is my feel-good book at the moment. I reread it to pull out of a slump.

[@klaire74]

One book I really loved was The Library of Shadows by Mikkel Birkegaard. I don't care about the rating because it is so subjective and being older, I've observed that almost everything written before 2015 gets only under 4 stars. Even the classics. 🍒🍒🍒

[@aliciawarren3670]

Great video, as always!! I just recently completely ate up A Fellowship of Bakers and Magic, it’s super cozy, not a damn thing happens lol, but it’s so good! Think Legends & Lattes, but with a baking competition. I loved it! 🍒

[@b.caballero6765]

Absolutely adding so many of these to my TBR right now!!! Also, where did you get your gorgeous red tank from Lexi? It's giving lifeguard/stranger things/summery vibes and I'm here for it 😊

[@EllaWH]

I always recommend reading a childhood fav if you're in a reading slump. Something you've already read and loved AND that's also a fast read. Here are some fast reads I loved; Amari and the Night Brothers (middlegrade), The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy (middlegrade), I Who Have Never Known Men (adult/ lit fic), The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives (adult/lit fic), Every Single Lie (YA), Words in Deep Blue (YA), House of Hollow (YA), In A Dark Dark Wood (Adult)... I could go on but I better stop here aha

[@jollytrolly2]

That top is everything. It’s giving 80’s lifeguard mixed with Tomato Girl Summer. Thank you for your content!!!

[@tiffanyrich6652]

Yay, a new video😊🍒. I’m going through a dnf phase. Everything I pick up I put down in a day. I think I may start the Other Half or Less. Have a great week. Ooh and my rec would be Mistborn, Era 1 book 1.

[@jessicataylor7854]

30 seconds in and the editing is sooo good!!!

[@alexandraroselyn]

Thank you Jessica!! 😊❤❤❤

[@claudiaoliveira6635]

I always enjoy your recommendations! I think "Nettle and bone" by T. Kingfisher is a great fantasy book to get one out of a reading slump 🍒

[@RociosLibrary]

No Exit by Taylor Adams is a perfect book to get someone out of a reading slump. It’s sooooo fast paced.

[@lauraa1345]

I've been slowly but surely making my way through the ACOTAR series for the first time and ACOMAF (where I'm at rn) has already really helped me to get out of my reading slump🍒

[@vivien681]

🍒 excellent books love your content 😊

[@mikemcdonald7281]

I love your videos and book recommendations! I always go to your channel to see what you recommend and they are always so good. It’s like going to a friend! :-)

[@munajedski]

Yes, I need this!! 🍒

[@alexandraroselyn]

😊❤

[@books_and_heels]

For those in a reading slump, I always tend to recommend fun and light books, like you just said. Right now I am reading The Husbands by Holly Gramazio, and it's so fun! It's basically the story of a young woman coming home from a night out to find a man in her house. The man acts like he knows her and wears a ring. She quickly realizes he is her husband. At some point he climbs up in the attic. Another man comes down. Truns out that every time her husband gets in the attic, another husband reappears, along with another life (her phone content changes, her physical appearance changes slightly, so does her apartment). Can't wait to see how this story will unfold. Last week I finished reading My Husband after you recommended it in your last video and I LOVED IT!!!!! A strong 5 stars! And like you said, there were episodes in which I kinda recognized myself LOL. And the twist at the end, just scrumptious! 🍒

[@heatherborowiak5820]

I added several to my TBR list, thanks! I know a lot of people really enjoy The Midnight Library, but I personally enjoyed Matt Haig's The Humans so much more. It was funny and made you think about some of the actions/things that may not have a good reason for -- but we do them because that's what we as a species have always done. Or our obsessions from an "outside view". And yet, even with our many flaws, we are loveable. None of this reveals anything about the book, these are just my own personal reflections after reading the book.

[@joyceepps155]

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I read it years ago when it first came out, and still think of it regularly. So happy to see its becoming a TV series.

[@artbyamyk1000]

Such a great video!! 🍒 to get out of a reading slump I would recommend The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. It's one of my favorite series. It's so interesting and the characters are amazing.YA, Small town, rich boys, tarot/witchy vibes, unexplainable magic things. (Not explaining it very well but I love it.) First time reading it I didn't know what was going on in the best ways. twists and turns. and the audio book is fantastic!!

[@lauraa1345]

So excited to get some new recommendations for some good books😍 I've been slumpy for a while now so I'm all ears😁

[@alexandraroselyn]

oh yayyy!! I hope you find a book title that helps!! :)

[@lauraa1345]

@@alexandraroselyn I found more than just one! Thank you, Lexi 🥰

[@normalnotincluded]

Love the recs! Definitely Grady Hendrix gets me out of slumps and I’d also give a note to Emily Henry for her romances. Book Lovers and Happy Place in particular I flew through. Can’t wait to read her new one!

[@amethyxtnix]

love all of your videos! I would definitely recommend Sunrise by the Sea by Jenny Colgan and A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid. They are my first two books of the year which I have rated 5/5 stars. :)

[@carolineforrester9625]

ACOTAR is what reignited my love of reading after years of not reading for fun.

[@eduardomusic8560]

Hello Alexandra Roselyn, good evening! How nice this new video of yours. You look beautiful🌹, as always. Happy weekend 😀 🤗

[@ladymairreads]

Miss Percy’s pocket guide books are a must if you’re in a slump. Dragons and cosy and humour what’s not to like

[@janierichmond5607]

Loved everyone of your suggestions and the variety. Good job! A book that I think you would enjoy is Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. It’s also been made into a 2023 TV miniseries. Read the book first. 😉🍒

[@tawnyachristensen7310]

Loved!🍒

[@gabbyreads]

Love this ❤

[@darcyashley3889]

The Finlay Donovan series! A wild romp of a series. Funny 😂

[@nicolewood1708]

Since westerns wasn't covered I would recommend lonesome dove. Other favorites that for various reasons I loved were Finley donovan is killing it, the seven husbands of Evelyn hugo, the house with good bones, the sundown motel, and the paris apartment.

[@WonderKitty24]

The Girls I’ve Been got into my list from your earlier recommendation and it’s currently checked out!

[@DarArtz]

🍒 I would recommend The House in the Cerulean Sea and then I would recommend Under the Whispering Door. I love the writing

[@goldeemabulay9052]

I absolutely loooove The Girls I've Been!! 💖

[@trishawood2997]

I would recommend Remarkably Bright Creatures 🐙 and side note love olipop. 🍒

[@maureendeming]

Not having a great day, but your positivity definitely helps ❤

[@alexandraroselyn]

Oh no I’m so sorry❤️ whatever’s going on I hope it gets better and I’m sending you a hug❤

[@foreverdreamwithinadream6871]

I think the best way to get out of a slump is look for a book that interests you personally. I got this book called The Paris Soulmate. It seems cute, funny, a clean romance and the main characters are going to France for various reasons that I don't want to spoil; but it a book that represents those who are going through health issues and gives them hope (each book is part of the international soulmates series though they stand alone and each one deals with different topics and the author donates some of the profits to various communities that are related to the book. That and because it was set mostly in Paris as I was to learn French was what stood out to me and got me want to read).

[@LaQu_K]

🍒 I’ve read the midnight library and absolutely loved it! Any kind of romance will definitely get me out of a reading slump

[@shellkay]

shorter books, short chapters & compelling characters that keep you turning pages are key for slumps. Also picking up something from an author you’ve enjoyed reading before. If these fit into a series, one book easily leads into another. Suggestions for mystery: The Thursday Murder Club, fantasy: Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire, cozy magical realism: anything by Sarah Addison Allen, literary: Alice Hoffman

[@michellepollock2431]

🍒 Thanks! I've added 2 more books to my wishlist

[@mayaautorino]

Literally just added all of these to my TBR 🥹 been feeling so bleh recently and this definitely motivated me!

[@danat3961]

I’m in a horrible reading slump… this video is for me

[@andreapulsifer5326]

Once apon a broken heart trilogy 💔 it got me hooked and the fantcy world is so whimsical i never wanted to leave it ❤❤❤ the romance to was so sweet ! My favorite now

[@greencreations5474]

🍒 Night Film, Every Heart a Doorway series and House of Hollow and/or Hazel Wood

[@joannagomes3038]

🍒I feel like thrillers are always a great choice to get out of a reading slump, one of my favorites is Murder on the Orient Express because I love the time period and Agatha Christie was just so genius with her mysteries! Also, love that this dropped as the readathon ended, it just extended the fun!

[@ReadingNymph]

I finished Bandit Queens yesterday, it was a great read

[@jenniferfink1728]

I would recommend Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It’s a SciFi book that isn’t too heavy and has a good amount of humor and good feels to it. I’m only part way through it but I love it so far. It’s definitely gotten me excited about reading again. 🍒

[@heathermancuso8964]

Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica, Renegades by Marissa Meyer, and The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston

[@witchymallow6199]

I would totally recommend None of This is True by Lisa Jewell!! Her thrillers are so fast paced and full of twists that you would never see coming until the very end 🍒

[@mollypopplewell1655]

🍒 Ooh I personally love a good easy read, like I have recently got into Sarah Adams (romcoms) and absolutely LOVE what I have read so far (When In Rome), I have just started Practice Makes Perfect and I only read half a page and already know it will be another fav (the main character is an introvert with social anxiety and I relate to her so much!!)! So I reccomend her if you like romcoms! Or something like Little Women or Anne Of Green Gables as they were easy and quick reads!

[@Iced.Coffee__]

🍒I got sad when the video ended. I wanted more🫶🏻 Wanna get out of a reading slump? 1. Read Miss Benson’s Beetle by Rachel Joyce if you wanna go on an emotional roller coaster ride and laugh at every page. OMG! It’s hilarious. 2. There are two really short books written by Kimberly Lemming: What’s a Girl Gotta Do To Get On The Naughty List and Two Scoops of Hellfire (really smutty though), read ‘em. 3. The third book that I wanna recommend, which I’m actually in the middle of and haven’t finished yet, but still highly recommend is Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett!! You will want to snuggle in a cosy blanket once you start reading it, and it’s so interesting that you won’t be able to keep it down💜

[@nancysarner5979]

So many great recommendations! 🍒🍒🌸🍒🍒🌸🍒🍒

[@hazelphoenix203]

I got out of a reading slump with the YA horror novel Wilder Girls by Rory Powers. It's dark, it's unique, it's a monster on an isolated island sort of story, there's mystery, it's sapphic, there are dark academia vibes, it's a great page-turner, and I've read it a few times now.

[@joannievh2071]

I was in a reading slump until a few days ago... When I started reading Circe by Madeline Miller. It's my first book by this author and I love it and am quite surprised by the depiction of the main character- which differs from my art history classes! 🍒

[@laurenschenck5355]

OMG! I love House of Hunger the cover is gorgeous one of my favorites books 🌈📚📖🍒🍒🍒📚📙📙🪻🪻🌻🌹🌹🧡🤎🤎🫶🏻💚💚🪷📖📚🌈📙📙📖🍒🪻🪻🌻💜🧡💐💙💙💙📙📙📚📚📖📚📙📙

[@astoldbykat]

For fantasy readers, I'd recommend The Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce -or literally all her books because she's been my #1 author for like 24 years now. It's technically YA, but has some really good messages (especially for women) that older readers will appreciate, and the writing is very readable and witty. It's just a fun, light read to get someone started reading again. I usually recommend books that are easy to read to get out of slumps; just something fun, in whatever genre that person likes.

[@Thereadingkitten]

🍒some great recommendations thank you Lexi

[@caitlinthye]

🍒 I highly recommend Half a Soul for getting out of a book slump! It's short, the writing is whimsy and gripping , it's funny And romantic. I read it in two days and smiled the whole time.

[@emilyc9266]

For thriller/mystery, I’d recommend listen for the lie, first like wins, the maid, or none of this is true! For magical realism I’d recommend ink blood sister scribe or the unmaking of June farrow!

[@rockyjreads]

Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi it is! Also it’s been a while since I’ve been on the receiving end of a QOTD, let’s see… It depends on the preferred genre of the reader of course, but I would recommend Six of Crows. Or The Martian! 🍒

[@mckennaraulston6173]

I need a video telling us what the pulitzer prize is and other awards and prizes. ⭐️

[@deborahguerra-sievers1778]

I recommend Ioana Iverson Rules for Commuting by Clare Poole. The cast of characters are so endearing I had to purchase the audible version just so I had these characters with me. 🍒

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

I love The Princess Bride, so I will give Tress of the Emerald Sea a chance🥰

[@anjamelnjak3636]

I would like to know if i can read Tress of the Emerald Sea as a standalone. I see it everywhere, but i'm not into Brandy Sandy or reading a 10 book series, so those of you who read it - can i read it as a standalone? Thank youu💖 also Lexi, you always put me in a reading mood with your videos, and I thank you for that.

[@laurenschenck5355]

[@carriem2655]

The One by John Marrs. Short Chapters, keeps you wanting to read more!

[@leacampbell2969]

🍒🍒 you nailed it with The Midnight Library 🍒🍒 It’s my favorite book of all time, and though it starts out with heavy content, it ends with being such a wholesome story. Another great one is The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. Sure-fire way to get you out of a slump. And I cried at the end. I saw someone else in the comments recommend Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Perfect if you lean toward sci-fi. And if you are a romance reader but not a huge smut girly, The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston is a GUARANTEED reading slump antibiotic. Just read it. It has ghosts. And it’s cute. (I’m finally reading Seven Year Slip (also by Poston) currently and it’s also helping with a DNF I couldn’t finish!)

[@pamelakibildis1177]

And my suggestion for a book to get you back into reading or out of a reading slump Highly Recommend Belladonna and Foxglove I Absolutely Loved Those Books and can’t wait for the third installment this year Wisteria 📚 Have a Fantastic Day Lexi & Happy Reading 📖🍒😊

[@gemspangle23]

🍒Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss, its feels very British. it's creepy, dark, set in the landscape and short, definitely got me interested in reading again last summer when I hit a slump.
