I'm doing _somewhat_ better at recording my purchases and reads, but not as well as I would like. This all too easily leads to inaccuracies when I finally get around to catching up. I need to keep working on that.
As for burnout? We all go through it at times. Personally, I think this is your brain telling you that you need to do something else for a bit. When I hit a patch like this, I up the exercise and switch to "old favourites" to read.

The way I avoid the burnout is I keep changing genres all the time. Sometimes I am in terrorism thrillers, sometimes I read thrillers and sometimes I read Sci-Fi. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on since I was in pre-school (taught myself to read)and suffered from burnout once.
