3 Tips for Nonreaders Who Want to Read More

I have a passion for reading and a love of books and as a book blogger I probably read more books than the average person. And speaking of the average person, there have been a lot of studies released recently that state that people are either not finding the time to read or just don't read period. The studies report that the top two things that have people's attention are social media and binge watching. They really do take up a lot of time especially when it seems as if your time is slipping by without you even realizing it.

Besides reading, reviewing and promoting books, I started The Book Girl's Book Blog with the intention of inspiring more people to read especially those who don't like to read. I'm going to try to do a better job of it because I don't think my blog is as inspiring as I would like it to be.

I know there are people who don't like to read but are interested in changing that. So, for those who would like to get more into reading here are a few tips that might work for you:

1) Visit the library and roam through the aisles to see if you can find books or genres that interest you. You could also talk to a librarian they maybe able to help you determine your interest.

I suggested going to the library because for anyone who is trying to become a big reader you don't want to start out buying a bunch of books and not read them. You want to take your time finding books that really interest you, it will make it easier to actually read them. And going to the library will keep you from wasting money in case you don't like the books you selected.


2) And once you have found a book (or several), start reading a few pages every day. Because if you read daily, it's one of the best ways of making this newfound interest stick.


3) Make reading a priority. If reading more is important to you, it's something you have to make time for. I'm sure there are areas in your life you can cut back on in order to find the time to read.


You are not going to turn into an avid reader overnight but I hope these tips will help. And if you give reading a chance you just might be on your way to becoming a lifelong reader.
