On a roll!
3 months ago
I’ve already read a bunch of books since the summer started, and I have more to come! Now, if I can keep reading for fun when school starts again, then this’ll really be complete!

How to read more often
It made me
HAPPY!
 "i started reading every single day, and learned a lot, even from weird fantasy books."
How I did it: i started reading lots of short books at a time, and after a while, i started reading really long series' in chronological order just for fun. now, when i go to the library, whenever i see an interesting-looking book, i check it out. i started reading pendragon, the edge chronicles, and inkheart this way.

How I did it: I went and bought a bunch of books that I really wanted to read and then left them sitting on my dresser where I would see them and pick one up instead of getting online. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I joined an online forum called "52 Books in 52 Weeks". I made my goal 48 books in 52 weeks and I'm about half done. I just set a goal and I've been loving that I'm reading more than I did in the past year or so. I've learned to make time for my reading. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I tried to always have another book to be read on hand while reading something. That way, I always had something to look forward to and made me want to finish my book as soon as possible in order to start the next one. Read how I did it…

Make Monday ‘Book hire Day’ Take out two books from UNE or Castle Hill library every Monday and have them read by the rest of the week.
Search google lists for ‘best books’ and tick them off as I go
Read for pleasure and for knowledge.

I used to read books from morning till night. But T.V. had kept me from continuing with my passion for reading.
I have stopped watching t.v. completely, which is hard considering that I would average an incredible 40 plus hours of t.v. watching per week. I’m on day 1 1/2. Yay me!
I’m going to read Dreams From My Father, The Secret and re-read the Golden Compass this month. And well, we’ll see next month.
Reading is great, it increases vocabulary, improves spelling, and analytical skills. -I think, lol.

Getting through a novel list is so hard when you’re studying school texts as well! Can’t wait to finish my AS’s and get back into reading.

Today I began my quest to get back into reading, with as much enthusiasm as when I was young. Its not going particularly well, i am at work and hardly get a break.. I know that by the time I get home I just wont be bothered. So i guess its back to reading 8 pages on the train on the way home… sighhhh

I signed up for a library card last week.
I’ve got 4 books lined up for myself for the next month, and have already read 2 books within the last week and a half.
There is a great side effect to this goal; I haven’t wasted nearly as much time online as I used to.

I used to read all of the time, from romance novels to biographys. Im not sure what happen or why I stopped reading. I can not tell you the last time I actually picked up a book to just read for relaxation…

Series of books keep you reading.

The past 10 days, I read every day, a few hours a day. Which is pretty good considering the only thing I used to read were chat windows! I finished three 800+ page books since I’ve made this goal, as well as finished a series that I’ve been dieing to read. Magazines don’t really count as “reading more” but having them laying around when you’re bored is a great habit to help you get used to reading more often. I am even all ready to visit the library today! Does anyone have any suggestions for some really great series?
