1. Say ‘Yas’ to New Genres
Maybe you’re a sucker for a good Fantasy series, or you’re seriously dedicated to Non-Fiction. Try exploring outside your genre and you may find a whole new world of books to enjoy. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.
2. Books Also Make Amazing Decor
You don’t have to completely remodel a room to make a whole new space. Try rearranging your books by color, height, or style to give a room a stylish look while being surrounded by the titles you love. Need some inspiration? Check out Books By The Foot. They know what’s up.
3. It’s Okay to Walk Away
If you are stuck on a book that is just not vibing with you, it’s okay to put it down and move on to something else. If you are more of the mindset that you have to finish any book you start (same), don’t think of it as a goodbye. You can always try again later when you’re in a different head space.
4. Find Readers Who Get You
Okay, so, sometimes finishing a book can be the best and worst. It sucks that the journey is over, but now you can talk to everyone about it! Find a book club, either irl or online, so you can properly express those feelings with the people that get you most.
5. Ask A Bookseller
If you find yourself in a reading rut, ask your favorite local indie booksellers 😉 what they’d recommend. There is a whole community of book lovers out there that would love to help you! Seriously, we love when you ask for recommendations. Another option is to seek out what your go-to authors are reading. We have these lists from Gloria Steinem, Markus Zusak, Adam Silvera and so many more to give you a boost. You got this.
