Buying books and reading books are two different hobbies, and the real trouble starts when you notice they barely overlap. If you’re caught in a vicious circle of buying books that you don’t even read, these useful tips will help you put a stop to it.

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.

Since we’re kids, it’s made pretty clear to us just how important and beneficial—and yes, even fun—reading is. But then you become an adult and you stop getting summer reading lists and you get very busy and all of a sudden you realize that you can’t even remember the last time you read a book. Oops. If that sounds familiar and you want to change it, here are some tips for helping you read more.

Read Books You Like

It may seem like an obvious one, but so many people try to force themselves to read the books that they feel like they “should” be reading, sacrificing the enjoyment and ultimately dropping off because they’re not actually having any fun at all. If you want to start building up a reading habit, it’s important to choose books you like. You can challenge yourself later on when you’re already in the habit of reading a lot.

Quit Early

Similarly, if you start a book and realize that you’re not feeling it as much as you expected, don’t hesitate to stop reading it. It’s okay to be a quitter in this context.

Build Reading Time Into Your Day

The best way to make a habit of reading is to include it into your routine. Whether it’s in the morning, before bed, during lunch, or on the bus, even 15 minutes of daily reading time will add up quick.

The fact that reading is good for you isn’t up for debate. We all know it. And most of us wish that we read more. The truth is that these days we spend way more time on the internet or watching TV than we do reading. If you want to change that, here are some tips to help you increase how much you read.

Always Keep a Book On You

Most of us aren’t so good at dealing with idle time, so we tend to pull out our phones. But if you used all of those moments of waiting for the bus, waiting in line, or waiting for your coffee order to read instead of scroll Instagram, imagine how much more reading you’d get done!

Find Books You Love

Many people who don’t like to read have bad associations of it from childhood when they were forced to read books in school they weren’t interested in. Well, there’s no reason to make yourself read boring books! There is pretty much a 100% chance you can find a book you’ll enjoy, so choose those instead of trying to force yourself through The Iliad or something (unless that’s what you’re into!).

If you’re a big reader, you either already have an ereader or have thought about getting one. But while reading can be a pretty cheap hobby if you get your books at libraries and thrift stores, ebooks can be rather pricey.

But don’t worry, that shouldn’t stop you from reaping all of the advantages of ereaders, like portability and environmentally-friendly reading. Not many people know about it, but you can actually (probably) check out ebooks for free from your local library.

As long as you have a library card and your library is signed up with a service like OverDrive, which most are, you’ll be able to enjoy this privilege. You’ll be limited by how many books you can check out and for how long, just like at a normal library, but it’s totally worth it for free access to all of your favorites. It’s also much more convenient than browsing through the stacks of an actual library.

So if you’re looking for a book to curl up with this winter with some cocoa and cozy socks, don’t forget to check out your library’s website.

Reading is a great habit to pick up at any age and time. Especially as the colder months are coming up, there’s nothing quite like curling up and escaping to another world.

This month, there are a number of newly translated novels available from foreign authors. These books provide insight into the traditions of other cultures and explore subjects such as feminism, happiness, the outsider experience, and memory.

Here are three of the books that we are most excited to read:

Where The Wild Ladies Are
(Aoko Matsuda, translated by Polly Barton)

Matsuda recalls a number of traditional Japanese folktales with a modern, feminist twist.

Earthlings
(Sayaka Murata, translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori)

In this imaginative story, a child misfit comes to wonder whether she may be an alien. At her home in the city, she is discontent with her place in an unpleasant society, but she discovers an inner power as she remembers trips to the mountains in the summer and questions the mundane reality of life. 

Invisible Ink
(Patrick Modiano, translated by Mark Polizzotti)

A #1 Bestseller in France, this novel is a mystery that tackles the illusions of memory. A private detective, haunted by the clues of his original investigation which proved futile, reopens the cold case thirty years later, compelled by reasons that he cannot explain.

Read Books You Like

It may seem like an obvious one, but so many people try to force themselves to read the books that they feel like they “should” be reading, sacrificing the enjoyment and ultimately dropping off because they’re not actually having any fun at all. If you want to start building up a reading habit, it’s important to choose books you like. You can challenge yourself later on when you’re already in the habit of reading a lot.

Quit Early

Similarly, if you start a book and realize that you’re not feeling it as much as you expected, don’t hesitate to stop reading it. It’s okay to be a quitter in this context.

Build Reading Time Into Your Day

The best way to make a habit of reading is to include it into your routine. Whether it’s in the morning, before bed, during lunch, or on the bus, even 15 minutes of daily reading time will add up quick.

The fact that reading is good for you isn’t up for debate. We all know it. And most of us wish that we read more. The truth is that these days we spend way more time on the internet or watching TV than we do reading. If you want to change that, here are some tips to help you increase how much you read.

Always Keep a Book On You

Most of us aren’t so good at dealing with idle time, so we tend to pull out our phones. But if you used all of those moments of waiting for the bus, waiting in line, or waiting for your coffee order to read instead of scroll Instagram, imagine how much more reading you’d get done!

Find Books You Love

Many people who don’t like to read have bad associations of it from childhood when they were forced to read books in school they weren’t interested in. Well, there’s no reason to make yourself read boring books! There is pretty much a 100% chance you can find a book you’ll enjoy, so choose those instead of trying to force yourself through The Iliad or something (unless that’s what you’re into!).

If you’re a big reader, you either already have an ereader or have thought about getting one. But while reading can be a pretty cheap hobby if you get your books at libraries and thrift stores, ebooks can be rather pricey.

But don’t worry, that shouldn’t stop you from reaping all of the advantages of ereaders, like portability and environmentally-friendly reading. Not many people know about it, but you can actually (probably) check out ebooks for free from your local library.

As long as you have a library card and your library is signed up with a service like OverDrive, which most are, you’ll be able to enjoy this privilege. You’ll be limited by how many books you can check out and for how long, just like at a normal library, but it’s totally worth it for free access to all of your favorites. It’s also much more convenient than browsing through the stacks of an actual library.

So if you’re looking for a book to curl up with this winter with some cocoa and cozy socks, don’t forget to check out your library’s website.

Reading is a great habit to pick up at any age and time. Especially as the colder months are coming up, there’s nothing quite like curling up and escaping to another world.

This month, there are a number of newly translated novels available from foreign authors. These books provide insight into the traditions of other cultures and explore subjects such as feminism, happiness, the outsider experience, and memory.

Here are three of the books that we are most excited to read:

Where The Wild Ladies Are
(Aoko Matsuda, translated by Polly Barton)

Matsuda recalls a number of traditional Japanese folktales with a modern, feminist twist.

Earthlings
(Sayaka Murata, translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori)

In this imaginative story, a child misfit comes to wonder whether she may be an alien. At her home in the city, she is discontent with her place in an unpleasant society, but she discovers an inner power as she remembers trips to the mountains in the summer and questions the mundane reality of life. 

Invisible Ink
(Patrick Modiano, translated by Mark Polizzotti)

A #1 Bestseller in France, this novel is a mystery that tackles the illusions of memory. A private detective, haunted by the clues of his original investigation which proved futile, reopens the cold case thirty years later, compelled by reasons that he cannot explain.
