April can be a tricky month for bookworms, especially those who set ambitious reading plans for the new year. Everyone starts with good intentions to read more, but then life starts to get lifey and the dreaded reading slump sets in.
 
Today’s collection is designed to help combat this unfortunate phenomenon. We’ve assembled here a list of books scientifically engineered to be reading-slump busters. By “scientifically engineered” we mean “largely improvised,” but we did put our backs into this one by scouring our member data for tried-and-true recommendations from your fellow readers. Our editorial team can also personally vouch for the slump-busting abilities of some of the books below.
 
We’ve sorted this collection into stacks so you can drill down to your personal areas of interest. You should be able to find several options here, whether you’re into superior fantasy worldbuilding or heart-tugging romance, page-turning mysteries or sanity-threatening horror. Watch for some specialty categories below, too.
