What is book hangover?

        Book hangover is the bane of almost every book lover's existence. It's when you've read such a good book, your book reading groove hits a brick wall. You start book after book, but you can't seem to make yourself read.
       I have put together a list of six very different books to help you get through any type of book hangover you might have.
       My best advice to cure your book hangover has to be cutesy romance. Specifically, Stephanie Perkins. And if you have already read them: read them again. They still work. Now, this list is for the people out there who have exhausted the cutesy romance, or for those of you who want something a little different to cure your book hangover.

Before We Start...

#1
Typical
​Romance

       My Life Next Door is your typical boy-next-door story. Samantha Reed lives in the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood, all except for her neighbors, the Garrett family. Samantha has watched them from her bedroom's balcony, but the day Jace Garrett climbs up to her balcony is the day her life flips upside-down.
       My Life Next Door is the perfect read when your last romance read has left you in a rut.
       To All the Boys I've Loved Before is not you're everyday romance novel. It follows the story of Lara Jean, who deals with her past crushes by writing them a love note, and sticking it in her mother's hatbox under her bed. When someone sends them out to all the boys, she has to confront her past, and maybe, even fall in love all over again.
       To All the Boys I've Loved Before is a great read for anyone looking for a new breed of YA romance.

#2
​Atypical Romance

#3
Contemporary Fantasy

       Rebel Belle is not your run-of-the-mill contemporary novel. Harper Price is a perfect southern belle: good looks, good grades, and good friends. That is, until she is attacked in her high school bathroom right before prom.
       She finds out that she is a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and mortal fighting instincts. Then, when things can't possibly get any worse, she finds out she has to protect the school reporter, David Stark, who just so happens to be Harper's least favorite person.
       Things start getting more involved when Harper starts to fall for David, and David's fate could destroy the entire Earth.
       Rebel Belle is definitely a book to not be judged by its cover. It is a fun, action-packed, and witty read.
       The Iron Trial is written by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare, and is about a boy named Callum Hunt. He has been warned by his dad if he passes the Iron Trial, he will be sent to the Magisterium, a school for children with magical abilities. It is also home to his dark and mysterious past. When he fails to fail, he is sent to the Magisterium, where the biggest test is not the Iron Trial. The biggest test is yet to come...
       The Iron Trial is a quick and easy read, and entertaining for everyone alike.

Comedic
​Nonfiction

       We Should Hang Out Sometime is about Josh Sundquist and his adventures with all of his ex-girlfriends throughout his youth. Josh doesn't know why he is still single, so he goes back and investigates all of his previous relationships to see exactly what went wrong.
       We Should Hang Out Sometime is a great read to relate to and entertain anyone looking for a good laugh.
       Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops by Jen Campbell is an account of all of the weird and crazy things have been said and have been asked of her while she worked at a small indie bookstore in London.
       A great read for all book-lovers out there looking for a quick and funny read.
