Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
In a way, I have never really been in a reading slump, but in another way, I am usually in a reading slump. Because I reread CONSTANTLY. Not always the whole book but at least part of it.
1. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer: I don't usually reread ALL of the series but. Bits and pieces.
2. The Matt Cruse trilogy by Kenneth Oppel: These are kind of comfort reads to me, and are naturally something I fall back on when I'm not really in a particular reading mood.
3. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black: as of now it's a standalone and it's wonderfully compelling, so it's a good between-new-books read.
4. Fire by Kristen Cashore: Graceling may have been a formative experience but Fire is a read I fall back on a lot. Currently a friend has my copy and I'm a little bit bereft.
5. The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison: This current moment is one of the first times since reading the book for the first time that I'm not in the process of a reread.
6. The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater: specifically the audiobook of The Raven Boys, which I actually own a copy of, rendering it one of my fall-back audiobooks
7. In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan: I keep catching myself pulling this one off the shelf just whenever.
8. The Winner's trilogy by Marie Rutkoski: Okay so I don't generally pick up The Winner's Crime because the FRUSTRATION IS REAL but still. (It isn't that I neccesarily think Crime is a bad book it's just... it is intended to be frustrating, I think, and it succeeds.)
9. Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo: if I am ready to get TOTALLY PULLED IN to a reread, I'll pick these up because I know I'll wind up accidentally rereading the whole duology.
10. The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee: another one that I just find myself picking up and skimming from time to time.
Naturally my eye was drawn to SIX OF CROWS but I love that CINDER and THE WINNER'S CURSE made your list as well. They were all amazing reads. Great list!!

Oh naturally. The thing about Six of Crows is that it is a COMMITMENT like if I pick it up I am rereading most, if not all, of the duology. (Other books I read a chapter or passage from more often...)
DeleteOoh the Oppel book looks awesome! Love that cover. The gentleman's Guide sound great too...
ReplyDeleteI was so excited when they released the Airborn and the rest of the trilogy with these covers, you have no idea. After a decade of cycling through a number of never matching, often visually displeasing covers, the 10th anniversary editions finally match! And are beautiful and so well suited to the books!
DeleteI still haven't read Six of Crows (but really want to) nor have I read the Lunar books (despite many recommendations!). Here's hoping I cross those off my TBR soon!! :)
ReplyDeleteAh, the never-ending TBR. This week has been intense for reminding me how many books on my TBR list I just... haven't read for reasons known or unknown.
DeleteRereads definitely help to get you out of a slump! Fab list! My TTT
ReplyDeleteI think my penchant for rereading is part of why I haven't been in many big reading slumps... I do go through phases where I JUST reread for weeks on end though...
DeleteSix of Crows, The Raven Boys and The Lunar Chronicles are all amazing series!

They're definitely some of my favourites!
DeleteAlmost every book on your list I'm dying to read! LOL! Happy Tuesday! :D
ReplyDeleteYou're in for a treat if/when you get to them!
DeleteI"m with you with Six of Crows. If I want to be completely invested in a reread, Six of Crows is what I'll be reaching for. I want to try Coldest Girl because of how much I enjoyed The Cruel Prince.
ReplyDeleteColdest Girl is definitely in my top two Holly Black books (right now I think it's my favourite but... I go back and forth) the atmosphere and world are really interesting! I hope you get a chance to read it soon!
DeleteRereading gets me out of a slump. Gentleman’s Guide is one that I want to reread. That book is too much fun.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Gentleman's Guide is really wonderful, wasn't it? I'm really looking forward to Lady's Guide!
