Top Ten Tuesday - Reading Slumps

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.

This week's TTT is books that will pull you out of a reading slump. For those of us in the blogging world, we are almost in competition with ourselves. We eat, breathe and sleep reading. We are not the average reader though.

According to the research, Americans read a mean average of 12 books per year, and the typical (median) American has read four books in the past 12 months.

Can you imagine only reading that few? I certainly can't. That's a bad couple of weeks for me! What happens though when we hit that reading slump and no book is "talking" to us? When our TBR starts piling up and there's no end in sight?

Most of the time, what I'll do is go back and read an old favorite. It may be a book that I've read many, many times before or maybe even a book from my childhood. Usually, it's a book from one of my favorite series. I don't even usually care which book is it or where in the reading order. I'll grab it and off I go.

Here are some of my favorites. :)
