Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly themed post first created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010 and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s theme is all about books guaranteed to put an end to the dreaded reading slump. Unsurprisingly, many of my recs are fast paced, attention grabbing reads because I can usually read them pretty quickly and the simple act of finishing a book is what gets me motivated for the next one! I’ve linked my reviews of each of the books listed below so you can see exactly why I loved them!





- Quicksilver by Callie Hart
- The House Witch by Delemhach
- The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett
- Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
- Servant of Earth by Sarah Hawley






I loved The Daughter of No Worlds and the next two in that trilogy. They are still my favourite books by Carissa Broadbent.

It’s still my favorite series by Carissa Broadbent as well! Maybe even my current favorite romantasy series!

Funny, Quicksilver nearly put me in said slump LOL!
I still have to read Shield of Sparrows and Daughter of No Worlds someday.

LOL! I love seeing how different everyone’s reading taste is, even within the same genre!

I also often go for the fast-paced fun reads if I’m in a slump, but I have to be careful not to get into a rut of only reading those books and not getting out of the slump enough to read the other kinds of books I like!

Irresistible Urge is a great choice! I haven’t read most of the others but they’re on my TBR. Great picks 🙂

I had Daughter of No Worlds in my Audible wishlist as it’s currently included in the membership, but then I literally just deleted it as it’s another series and I didn’t want to get hooked on when I have too many already on my tbr aha – now I’m rethinking whether I need to quickly go and listen to it after all, before it’s not included anymore at the end of the month! xo

I’m currently listening to This Monster of Mine and enjoying it. Hope it all ends well.
