5 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Read More

1.   Go Internet Stalking: Honestly, nothing gets me more excited to read than browsing the Amazon book tab. Amazon is your standard international shipping company but there are other options. If you are looking to be more experimental in your reading but you don’t have a lot of money and you’re based in America, Book Outlet do really cheap books with free US shipping over $35. I’m gonna do a post in the next month about the best online bookstores so there’ll be more on that list.

 

2.   Hit up your local library:  If you don’t mind not owning the book and you want to read it for free, libraries are where it’s at. You can browse all you want, don’t have to drop a tonne of money on experimenting in new genres and also it won’t be clogging up your bookshelves. I’m telling you libraries are your best friend.

 

3.  Check out book blogs and YouTube channels: Nothing will get you more excited to read than hearing other people really excited about reading. Its such a big community that you’ll not only find reviews but also video about book unboxing, character tier lists and if you’re in the mood for it, book unhauls and rant reviews. They really help hype me up to read more.

 

4.  Get recommendations from friends: So, I don’t know if anyone else gets this , but if a friend says they really like the book I’m reading or they recommend it to me I tend to get through it faster. I love discussing books and seeing what my friends’ opinions are is always fun. Equally as fun is forcing your friends to read your favourite books, use duct tape to stick it to them if necessary!

1.  Have allocated reading time: This changed how I read entirely. Giving yourself say an hour which you have assigned to only reading really gets you into a routine. It also helps you set goals that you’ll actually stick to and therefore stay motivated.
