I’m in the same boat, if it’s going to be a competition then turn it into a reading challenge with yourself. Last year I had three and for each month I read a book about Ireland or by an Irish author, a novella and a memoir. This year I’m rereading a book I loved from prior to the year 2000, a book by an Asian or Asian diaspora author and a book by a dead female author whose works I’ve never read before. You can definitely use it your advantage in trying to learn about something, someone or some place new, or for your career, or even mental health. That way your adding a productive component to a reading competition.
