5 Blogs To Follow If You're A Bookworm In A Book Slump
Amanda Holt

We bookworms had it easy throughout junior high and high school. There was ample time to leisurely read whenever we wanted. We roamed around bookstores with all the time in the world to pick and choose the books we read.

Then, college hits.

It doesn’t happen all at once. It’s a gradual process of taking weeks, sometimes even a month to go through one book. Now, it seems like it’s been awhile since you’ve even read a book for enjoyment and it’s even harder to choose a book in the first place because you don’t have a lot of time.

Follow these blogs and you'll always have a cure for your slump.

1. That’s What She Read

Seriously, her reviews are so relatable that I feel like we just have the same taste in books. That being said, I’m not ashamed to say that I have read several books on her recommendation. If you’re looking for a good modern read, she always has the best insight.

2. Xpresso Reads

At what point is it not okay to read Young Adult Fiction? Xpresso Reads doesn’t care and definitely supports you reverting back to your high school reading endeavors and so do I. But that’s not all, she breaks up each category so that you can find pure enjoyment in the genre of your choice. Historical fiction, science fiction, new adult, etc.

3. The Bookish Outsider

What I love so much about this one is that the reader doesn’t normally follow what’s popular in the mainstream. She adds in reviews of obscure books you might not have heard before, but you will actually enjoy! If you want a book that you’ve never read before because it’s outside the box, check her out.

4. That Artsy Reader Girl

This isn’t just a book review blog, but a community of young female readers. You’ll get a weekly creative TOP 10 from Jana, the blog creator and a chance to chat with other young girls reading the same books as you. Find your new read and recommend your faves! Also, participate in some challenges along the way. Who doesn’t like a friendly competition?

5. Readers In Wonderland

They say readers live a thousand lives and this blog introduces you to all of them. It's made up of different reviewers giving you different perspectives on the books you can read. While I don't agree with their must-reads, you can submit a request for them to review. They keep their reviews honest, analytical, and spoiler free.

The book slump is to a reader what a writer's block is to a writer. It's our own personal torture that can be avoided with the help of the blogging community. Go show these blogs some love!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
