How Do You Choose the Next Book To Read?
There is no shortage of books to read, and for many, that overabundance can turn into a chaotic struggle of finding the next book to read.
Most people have a sense of what type of book they like. Even if you already know what genre speaks to you, it can be fun to expand your horizons.
Find Your Genre
Tone and style can be deciding factors as well. Some people love reading books with rich and evocative language, while others prefer light and easy-to-read writing.
Consider Your Reading Preference
Some of the most-read books are series, like Lord of the Rings, where several books are broken down into installments to complete the storyline.
