How To Be Always Reading: Step Two

So, you’ve taken the first step and decided that you want to always be reading. Now what? Time to get some books! Whether you are looking for physical copies or digital ones, there are many ways to find the books that interest you. Let’s explore your options on how to get your book shopping on!

Bookstores

The classic way of getting books is by going to a bookstore. In the era of Amazon and other online retailers, this might seem like an antiquated way of doing things but it can still be incredibly rewarding. Going into a physical bookstore has its own charm. You can actually hold the book in your hand, read the back cover, maybe even open it up and take a look at the first page or two. And if you’re lucky enough, you may even find yourself talking with one of the staff members who may have some great recommendations for you!

Online Retailers

Of course, if time constraints don’t allow for a trip out to your local bookstore then we have something else available: online retailers! This could be Amazon or any other number of online stores where you can purchase books digitally either as an ebook or audio format. One thing I love about this option is that many times these retailers will offer discounts on certain books depending on what type of subscription service (if any) that you use with them. So it pays off to do some research and check out all of your options before making a purchase!

Borrowing from Friends & Family

Do not forget about borrowing from friends and family when looking for new reads! Have someone loaned you their favorite book? This is an excellent way to get access to new titles without having to spend money on them right away. Plus, if they enjoyed it so much then chances are good that it will end up being something that interests you too!

No matter which method(s) you choose when searching for your next read, just remember that there are plenty of different routes available. From traditional brick-and-mortar stores to modern digital outlets—you can find whatever suits your needs best. The most important part is just finding something interesting enough for you to start reading it; I know I need something engaging with lots of action otherwise I won't make it past page 5 haha!. Happy reading everyone!
