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!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
