I used to read faster than I seem to have lately. I would blame the whole pandemic, but my slow down started somewhat before that.
I still have plenty to read. The 220 books I deleted didn't make much of a dent in Mount TBR. If I can make it through about 25 more of Jayne Ann Krentz' old category books (aka Stephanie James, Jayne Castle) I will actually have completed my entire physical TBR pile (only because I purchased all of the unread Nora Roberts books in digital during one of the big Kobo sales a few years back so they've moved to the digital list).
I feel that will be an accomplishment! I thought I was going to finish my print TBR last year when I read all of my old Carla Neggers books, but I'd forgotten I put the JAK books on the back of my shelf when the dog was a puppy and decided he liked to eat library books.
I have reread a lot more than usual this year so am behind on my planned new reads. I have started several of them multiple times, but wasn't in the mood to meet new pretend people. And I know it's me not the books. A few authors have managed to capture my attention lately, so hoping I've turned the corner there. I can't really call it a reading slump since I was still reading, just not new books.
