Is anyone else going through a reading slump? And does anyone have any idea how to get out of it?

I will wonder around B&N to see if anything looks interesting or read a book from one of my favorite authors.
I tend to reread old favourites when I'm in a slump. It's sometimes easier than starting something new. Failing that something short and easy like YA or romance usually does the trick. Basically something I don't have to think too much about.
Is there a problem with the spreadsheet? I have one kindle book that doesn't have a page count and two books that I finished on the 30th and 31st that has not shown up yet.
Thank you for your suggestions, everyone!I'll try them out and see if it works. :)

I watched bits and pieces when my husband was watching, but I think I'm going to go back and watch from season 1.

**This is audio version - so page count will have to be added**
I was wondering the same thing Angie.I read it last year and it took everything I had to finish it.
Me too. I am having a hard time reading this one. I was hoping to finish it up on break day but I not sure if I can swing it since I really want to finish A Dance with Dragons and Lethal Lies, both books I am really enjoying.
I noticed my library had You but so far I don't think I've heard a single good thing about it which is kind of putting me off reserving it.It looks like nominations are open for July so hopefully there will be some better books (although I am looking forward to THUG)
Well, if it hadn't been on audio, I don't think I could have finished it. But it was like the train wreck you see and you have to stop to see just how bad it is.I didn't really like it - but I had to see how it ended. On the other hand, I didn't hate it. It was just very disturbing. Reminded me of American Psycho.....
I think I'm jealous my library doesn't have it on audio and I don't want to use one of my audible credits to finish it.
Ha! After reading what y'all are saying about 'You,' I'm glad my library does NOT have it! I am off the hook for this one. Right now I'm really enjoying Glass Houses and Paper and Fire! Am having a s-l-o-w time with A Discovery of Witches although I do find it interesting. I should be able to knock out a couple of books this weekend -- I just need to settle down & stop looking at the pile of new books calling to me from the corner!! 😉
Does anyone use Hoopla??Have you noticed that when you speed up the narration there is a slight annoying echo??
Yes. I have gotten used to it. I try to find an audio elsewhere first
Just checked our status. We are in 1st place by 5 points!
Woo! Though that will probably be taken from us not too far in the future.

Whenever I finish a book, Goodreads doesn't register the date I finished reading and I have to manually add to the date. Anyone having the same problems?
