Guys.
I have a problem.
I am finding myself in a slump.
A reading slump.
I've read so many great books this year, but this where I am now: I have a TON of unread books on my kindle, at least 10 books checked out from the library, several unread Book of the Month books/other recent book purchases on my nightstand, and 4 or 5 unplayed audiobooks in my audible app.
But nothing is grabbing my attention.
It's stressing me out.
I've been listening to Anna Karenina on audio, and I kind of hate it. It's sooo long (35 hours - I've listened to about 8) and not my taste and I feel like I need to finish it because I've committed. But at the same time, I hate it. All of the characters are horrible. I'm not wild about Maggie Gyllenhaal's narration. And the aristocracy makes me sick.
I started Before We Visit the Goddess, and I liked it, but didn't love it. I think I made a mistake by pausing that one to read Big Little Lies before the show started, because now I kind of don't want to go back to it.
I've also been reading Deep Work because I've heard so many great things about it and I set a goal to read more non-fiction this year. But I think I was just kidding myself. This is not my type of book. I like narrative non-fiction. Not self help.
Here's what it comes down to - I mistakenly added all these books to my currently reading shelf on goodreads and now I feel like I have to finish them. Also, nothing will ever measure up to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Or Harry Potter, which I just finished listening to on audio.
This is so discouraging, guys! What do you do when you're in a reading slump? What book should I read to get out of my slump?
