Are you finding it difficult to pick up a new book? If you are not sure what you would like to read, it could be hard for you to choose something that you will enjoy. You might find yourself selecting a book by random, reading a few chapters, and then realize that you dislike it. Or possibly you will find your mind wandering because you cannot seem to get into the story.
Here are some tips that may help you decide on the right book for you:
What exactly are you interested in? Do you prefer learning about celebrities and their life? Perhaps you should browse the biography of a historical figure you find interesting. Perhaps you really enjoy books like Hunger Games. If so, the young adult dystopian fiction category might interest you. If you are really into fashion, try to look for a book that is situated around someone at a fashion show, for example.
When books you are reading highlight subjects you enjoy a lot and also have a significant curiosity about, it becomes much easier for you to get invested in the storyline and stay interested. But if you move too far away from the subjects you enjoy, you will likely not appreciate the book too much. Go with what you know and what you prefer to read, if at least initially.
There are usually book versions of your favorite movies. You merely have check them out. Enter the movie name into the search engine on your internet browser. Chances are you are going to find that at least some of your favorite movies were inspired by a book. Don't wait to look them up! Usually, those who read the book and see the movie will concur that the book is the superior version. You do not wish to miss out, do you? Even some popular television shows like Pretty Little Liars and Game of Thrones were based on a book series.
Nowadays, the internet will be able to help you with almost anything. There are websites dedicated to helping readers to find books to read based on their interests and preferences. Among the largest and most well-known is Goodreads.com. Goodreads is similar to Facebook, but with individuals who like to read. If you are not sure what book you should read next, there is a large selection of recommendations designed for you. You are able to connect with other book lovers for online book clubs, book swaps, discussions, reading challenges, and lots of other interesting activities. Sites like Goodreads not only give you recommendations for what books to read, but it can help to bring some excitement into reading too. We recommend giving it a go.
If you share many of the same interests and activities with your friends, chances are that you will love the same books as they do. Ask them to give you a list of a few of their favorite books. You will likely enjoy them as well. If they happen to own any of the books they have recommended to you, you can try asking to borrow it. There is a good chance that they will be more than happy to lend you a copy.
Taking book recommendations from your friends is also helpful because it is more pleasurable if you have someone to discuss the book with. Discussing about story events and characters and trying to guess what might happen next can add a lot of excitement to the reading experience!
Book clubs are a terrific way to get introduced to new books and authors. They can also be a fun way to make new friends that you might share some common interests with. Book clubs typically work the same way. All members of the book club will read the same book, after which, everyone will meet up, often over drinks or a meal, to discuss the book. Usually, you will need to read specific chapters by the meeting date. This will help you to feel motivated.
Check online or go to your local library and ask the librarian if there are any book clubs you can sign up for. If you cannot find any in your area, get a few friends together and create your own!
Don’t worry! Just look around, do a little research, and you are destined to come across a genre of books that you will love. Take note that the more books you read, the more fun and easier it will become. Soon, you will discover books you may not have even considered before. Enjoy!
