May TBR down the drain (already?!) Rambles

TBR's (to be read) can be really important to people and honestly I like it a lot when I can follow my tbr. So far this month (even though it's only been 5 days), is kind of a let down for my tbr. I read one book, which I didn't like that I got courtesy of NetGalley, and honestly I'm taking part of 2 group reads, 2 reading challenges, and 1 buddy read(which I'm going to start today). Now normally I can read a book that would help me in these, but honestly I already feel behind. It's probably just my personal life getting in the way and I'm feeling kind of book slumpy so I'm going to post a few tricks and talk to you guys about my reading.

First I can say that I'm going to start House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas today, I've been putting it off because Maas is kind of a hit or miss author for me. I do think this book will be different and enjoyable though and so I hope it helps gets me out of slump mode. I'm also reading Nimona, and graphic novels also help me get out of slumps. Finally, applying for books on NetGalley and getting approved will help my motivation to read more. I was accepted for an E-ARC of Dark Skies so I'm powering through Dark Shores right now, I generally really enjoy Danielle Jensen's books.

It's also middle-grade May so I'm supposed to be reading middle grade books this month, which I have yet to start but I think that will both improve my mood and make things easier on me to read. I have a huge stack set aside for the challenge, so I feel like I've never wanted to read more than I do this month!

I was trying my best to read Ninth House but it's a bit slow going so I'm at a stand still, I think picking up something a little more action packed will help me out.

Any advice for book slumps?! What helps you?
