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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
