Avoid Temptations

If you already have too many books at home that you haven’t read, it’s important to avoid temptations. Don’t go to bookstores too often, and unsubscribe from their newsletters so you wouldn’t be tempted to spend money when there are sales and discounts.

Better Choices

The books you haven’t read will keep piling up if you’re buying them for no good reason. Stick to purchasing books that come highly recommended or the ones you really want to read. If you’re a mood reader, avoid buying things “for later” and only stick to books that you want to dive into right away.

Have a Limit

Set boundaries for yourself by limiting the number of books you can buy or the amount of money you can spend on them. In addition to helping you avoid mindless spending, this technique will help you only buy the books that you’re really interested in.

Know Their Taste

You’ll have a much easier time choosing the right book if you take some time to learn more about your loved one’s personal taste. Buy a book from their favorite author, or go with a genre that they enjoy the most.

Pay Attention

Knowing your friend’s taste a little bit too well can be counterproductive, since you might end up buying them a book they already own. Pay attention to their bookshelves the next time they invite you over so you wouldn’t make the wrong choice.

Don’t Be Shy

If your book-loving friend isn’t a big fan of surprises, you can simply ask them which book they’d like to own. In case you don’t like being so forward, you can check in with one of their roommates or family members to make sure you’re not buying a book they already own.
