Here are some of the books you can look forward to in 2023!

Happy Place by Emily Henry

Emily Henry has taken over Booktok/Bookstagram in 2022 and we are so here for it! If Happy Place is anything like her most popular novels, Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, and Book Lovers, this is sure to be a great one. Her rom-com novels are the perfect casual read, and we hope this one is too! 

8 Rules of Love by Jay Shetty

Jay Shetty is famous for his wisdom and guidance in mental health and meditation. After his first book, Think Like a Monk, we’ve all patiently waited for the next drop of wisdom from him.

You Are Not Alone by Cariad Lloyd

]]> Saying that you’re going to start reading and doing it are two completely different things. You might buy five books at your nearest Barnes and Noble, get all excited about reading them, and then three months later you realize you only read the first four pages of one of them. If you’re trying to read more in your life but find yourself struggling to start, here are some tips to help you out.

Set Realistic Goals

How about instead of buying five books at Barnes and Noble, you buy just one? Focus on one book and one book only, and then set realistic goals for how much you’re going to read per day. One chapter a day? One chapter per week? There really are no rules. Just start with whatever you feel truly comfortable with to get the ball rolling.

Set Times

If you have specific times that you read—such as with your afternoon tea or right before bed—it’ll be a lot easier to hold yourself accountable. Don’t be harsh with yourself if you miss one, but remind yourself that you’ll make up for it the next day.

Pick Books You Actually Care About

Don’t buy books that your friends think are cool—because you’ll never care enough to actually read them. Buy books you have a genuine interest in, and you’ll find yourself reading more than you ever thought possible.

]]> 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.

]]> “Reading more” is one of those New Year’s resolutions we all make, but struggle upholding as the months go by. If you want to stay true to this decision and expand your reading list in 2021, these three amazing strategies will get you there.

Reading Goal

If you’re a goal-oriented person, setting a reading goal for 2021 may just be the wind in the back you need. Be realistic yet ambitious at the same time—reading one or two books a month is a good place to start if you’re yet to make reading a part of your daily routine.

Make Right Choices

It’s difficult to stay passionate about reading when you’re not reading books that interest you. Instead of wasting time on books that you think you have to read, focus on the ones that actually seem fun, and you’ll find it much easier to reach your goals.

Alternative Options

If you’re never going off the paper when it comes to reading, 2021 is the perfect time to start. We’re not saying you should ditch paper books altogether, just consider the alternatives. Whenever you find yourself endlessly scrolling through social media, open up an e-book or audiobook on your phone, and you’ll develop a healthy reading habit in no time.

]]> For fantasy lovers, this fall promises some exemplary new fiction from some of the best authors of the genre. Here’s what’s being released this fall.

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik (September 29)

Naomi Novik has long been a major player in the world of fantasy, with her last novel Spinning Silver nominated for a variety of high profile awards. Her newest series begins with A Deadly Education and centers around a magical high school called Scholomance. The protagonist, El has to navigate the magical environment and students at the school. This is no Hogwarts though, and El has to deal with some pretty scary magical encounters.

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse (October 13)

As one of the newer voices in the fantasy world, Rebecca Roanhorse has crafted a truly unique novel. Instead of focusing on a magical world set in the future, she brings her audience to the past. The novel centers around three characters in pre-Columbian America, and the mythology from that era.

Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson (November 17)

Brandon Sanderson’s next installment of the Stormlight Archive, Rhythm of War promises to be great. The book will bring fans back into the Cosmere, and the struggles of some of the main characters—Shallan, Kaladin, and Dalinar.

]]> Reading on the beach is one of the best summer pastimes, but it’s not always as perfect as it sounds. You can make it more enjoyable by following these three steps.

Light and Breezy

It’s highly unlikely that you’ll read the entire Anna Karenina in one sitting during your vacation, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Opt for a light and breezy book that will allow you to relax and de-stress.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_n3SEg8MS/

Protection Comes First

Have you ever fell asleep while relaxing on the beach and woke up with major sunburns? It happens to the best of us because sunlight exposure can lead to exhaustion. That’s one of the reasons why you should be always wearing sunscreen, even if you’re hanging out in the shade.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6xjzggWgQ/

Protect Your Books

Protecting your books is just as important as protecting yourself, especially if they’re borrowed. Consider making waterproof book covers and put them back in your bag once you’re done reading. If you’re reading with a Kindle or a phone, you can place it inside a Ziploc bag for protection.

]]> Reading is one of the best ways to pass the time while social distancing because it lets you fully immerse yourself in a new fantasy world. If you’re struggling to focus on reading even when you have a lot of time on your hands, here’s how you can step up your game.

Light Topics

The world is heavy as it is right now without putting pressure on yourself to read books that are “complex” and “important”. There’s nothing wrong about opting for fun books with light topics or re-reading some of your childhood favorites.

Reading Goal

If you’re goal-oriented, it could come in handy to set a challenge for yourself. Decide how many books you want to read or make your own reading list, but don’t push yourself too hard if you’re not enjoying some of them.

Virtual Book Club

Book clubs are always a great motivational boost, especially if you enjoy discussing your reading material with other people. You can find a bunch of them online right now – or maybe even start your own with your friends and family.

]]> Reading more than one book at a time can be pretty difficult, but it has its benefits. You’ll be reading more than you usually do and get through the pile of books you want to read much faster, as long as you follow these three simple steps.

Perfect Balance

When you’re reading two books at once, try to go with different genres. You’ll be able to find a perfect balance between heavy and lighthearted material this way, and you’ll always have something to read, no matter what kind of mood you’re in.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ZDqNcpsAX/

Different Mediums

You can access books in many different ways, and that’s a good reason as any to read more of them. In addition to having a paperback copy, you can also download eBooks and audiobooks, and this will make it easier to keep a track of each one.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UOvdZoZK6/

Time and Place

You can also make the experience of reading two books at once easier by assigning time and a place for each one. You can read the first on your morning commute, and leave the second for the evening, but it’s ultimately up to your mood at the time.

]]> We all want to find more time to read in our busy schedule, but there’s just something about this activity that makes people super-sleepy. If you fall under this category, here are a couple of tricks that can help you stay awake.

Different Timing

If you usually read before going to bed, it’s not unusual that you would have a hard time staying up. You’re already exhausted from everything that went on during the day, so think about finding time for your favorite book at a different hour.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ozptPAtD8/

Tasty Treat

It’s difficult to fall asleep when you have something else but the book keeping you distracted. How about having a snack or drinking a nice cup of tea while you’re cozying up with your favorite novel?

https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VdfC2g_So/

Audiobooks

If you usually get sleepy while you’re reading because your eyes are getting too tired, audiobooks are a good way to go. You may even consider walking or doing chores during this activity, unless you have trouble concentrating this way.

QOTD: Are you an audiobook lover or do you still need to be converted? There are dozens of reasons I adore audiobooks, but I’m not going to name them all now. (Saving that idea for another day…) Today’s list focuses on one of my favorite aspects of reading via audio : ACCENTS. I looooove listening to people speak with foreign accents in general, so whenever I discover that a book on my TBR has an accented audiobook narration, I’m over the moon! ————————————————— Here’s a list of some books that I’ve enjoying listening to & the accents featured: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Irish] Faithful Place – Tana French (+ any of her other books) [Welsh] Clockwork Princess – Cassandra Clare [South African] Born a Crime – Trevor Noah [French] Gilded Wolves – @roshanichokshi [Southern USA] The Raven Cycle series – @maggie_stiefvater [Nigerian] We Should All Be Feminists – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie [Indian] Evil Eye – Madhuri Shekar [Russian] Wicked Saints – @glitzandshadows [Scottish] Macbeth : A Novel – David Hewson [English] Strange the Dreamer – Laini Taylor ————————————————— #audiobook #audiobooks #bookrecommendations #bookstagrammer #yabooks #wickedsaints #ruthlessgods @glitzandshadows @macmillan.audio @wednesdaybooks #yabookstagram @scribd

Protect Your Books

Protecting your books is just as important as protecting yourself, especially if they’re borrowed. Consider making waterproof book covers and put them back in your bag once you’re done reading. If you’re reading with a Kindle or a phone, you can place it inside a Ziploc bag for protection.

]]> Reading is one of the best ways to pass the time while social distancing because it lets you fully immerse yourself in a new fantasy world. If you’re struggling to focus on reading even when you have a lot of time on your hands, here’s how you can step up your game.

Light Topics

The world is heavy as it is right now without putting pressure on yourself to read books that are “complex” and “important”. There’s nothing wrong about opting for fun books with light topics or re-reading some of your childhood favorites.

Reading Goal

If you’re goal-oriented, it could come in handy to set a challenge for yourself. Decide how many books you want to read or make your own reading list, but don’t push yourself too hard if you’re not enjoying some of them.

Virtual Book Club

Book clubs are always a great motivational boost, especially if you enjoy discussing your reading material with other people. You can find a bunch of them online right now – or maybe even start your own with your friends and family.

]]> Reading more than one book at a time can be pretty difficult, but it has its benefits. You’ll be reading more than you usually do and get through the pile of books you want to read much faster, as long as you follow these three simple steps.

Perfect Balance

When you’re reading two books at once, try to go with different genres. You’ll be able to find a perfect balance between heavy and lighthearted material this way, and you’ll always have something to read, no matter what kind of mood you’re in.

Different Mediums

You can access books in many different ways, and that’s a good reason as any to read more of them. In addition to having a paperback copy, you can also download eBooks and audiobooks, and this will make it easier to keep a track of each one.

Time and Place

You can also make the experience of reading two books at once easier by assigning time and a place for each one. You can read the first on your morning commute, and leave the second for the evening, but it’s ultimately up to your mood at the time.

]]> We all want to find more time to read in our busy schedule, but there’s just something about this activity that makes people super-sleepy. If you fall under this category, here are a couple of tricks that can help you stay awake.

Different Timing

If you usually read before going to bed, it’s not unusual that you would have a hard time staying up. You’re already exhausted from everything that went on during the day, so think about finding time for your favorite book at a different hour.

Tasty Treat

It’s difficult to fall asleep when you have something else but the book keeping you distracted. How about having a snack or drinking a nice cup of tea while you’re cozying up with your favorite novel?

Audiobooks

If you usually get sleepy while you’re reading because your eyes are getting too tired, audiobooks are a good way to go. You may even consider walking or doing chores during this activity, unless you have trouble concentrating this way.

QOTD: Are you an audiobook lover or do you still need to be converted? There are dozens of reasons I adore audiobooks, but I’m not going to name them all now. (Saving that idea for another day…) Today’s list focuses on one of my favorite aspects of reading via audio : ACCENTS. I looooove listening to people speak with foreign accents in general, so whenever I discover that a book on my TBR has an accented audiobook narration, I’m over the moon! ————————————————— Here’s a list of some books that I’ve enjoying listening to & the accents featured: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Irish] Faithful Place – Tana French (+ any of her other books) [Welsh] Clockwork Princess – Cassandra Clare [South African] Born a Crime – Trevor Noah [French] Gilded Wolves – @roshanichokshi [Southern USA] The Raven Cycle series – @maggie_stiefvater [Nigerian] We Should All Be Feminists – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie [Indian] Evil Eye – Madhuri Shekar [Russian] Wicked Saints – @glitzandshadows [Scottish] Macbeth : A Novel – David Hewson [English] Strange the Dreamer – Laini Taylor ————————————————— #audiobook #audiobooks #bookrecommendations #bookstagrammer #yabooks #wickedsaints #ruthlessgods @glitzandshadows @macmillan.audio @wednesdaybooks #yabookstagram @scribd
