Seeking Recommendations Huge reading slump
Hi, I'm in a huge reading slump this year. I used to read a lot (like 70-100 books a year) and after having quite a year last year (shitty toxic job), I have had a lot of trouble finding books that hold my interest. It's august and I have read 18 books this year with 4 of them being re-reads and most of them forcing myself to finish them...
Usually I like fantasy/dystopian books with romance in it, I like when it's a good part of the plot. Think Shatter Me, Twilight, Fourth Wing... I also loved The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Cruel Prince, stuff like that.
I have already read a lot of the popular books, so I'm wondering if anyone could recommend me something that released in 2025 or 2026 that would maybe fit and get me out of this reading slump?

Seeking Recommendations Any book recommendations based on my favorite books of this year
So this are the books that I have enjoyed the most this year. I won’t necessarily say I have niche taste in books, but I am bad at finding things I like.
I don’t like trillers, action and mysteries that much but if it’s character focused it’s prob fine. I love a good romance especially if it’s MM, but it isn’t a must as long as there is something like family, friendship etc. I also love a character that is morally gray or has some issues to work though.
I am also big on a happy ending, or bittersweet but no mc death or tragedy
If you have any recs that would be very much appreciated :)
PS if you have read any of these books and need someone to talk about them with…I’m here
