Going somewhere? Select an audio book for the whole family to enjoy on the ride.
Choose a book as a family to read together, separately or out loud. Discuss each new chapter over the dinner table. When you’re done, choose another.
Talk to your friends and pick the same book. Engage in virtual book club meetings.
Look to your favorite film or streaming TV series for inspiration. Nine times out of ten, the book is better. Compare the two when you are done.
Choose a book you’ve read before and compare your experience reading it at this time in your life to that of the past. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is perfect for this. If you haven’t read it, do so now and plan on reading it again in a few years.
Feeling particularly stressed? Seek out books on mindfulness. Actively practice what you learn.
Use an app like GoodReads to browse lists and suggestions based on personal interests. Create an account, set goals, and log your reading. Or participate in one of the many summer reading contests available, including those that encourage reading articles
Read a book related to your future goals. Create a vision board with ideas to stay motivated and add to it throughout the year.
