i've been in a reading slump for the better half of three years, seriously. obviously i read lots of books over the course of my degree, but it was always academia and reading for pleasure seemingly became a thing of the past. making time for a fiction book, or anything not relevant to aiding my history degree seemed pointless to me. now that i've finished my undergrad, i want to try and get back into losing myself in the world of fiction before september rolls around and it is back to academia for my masters degree. the first hurdle was choosing a book to be tasked with the immense responsibility of breaking my reading slump. after making a tbr list inspired by tiktok, i did not know where to start. i found, dusted off, and purged my old kindle ready to get going, and i explored the kindle store to see what i could find.
