The struggle is real when it comes to finding that perfect book you’re craving. But don’t worry! We’re here to help. Here are some tips on how to find the perfect read.
1. Bookstagram
The great thing about bookstagram is that you can find pretty much anything you need whether you are looking to discover your next favorite book or author,
you can ask any questions you have related to books like which book is better between two titles or who is a good author in this genre, as well as recommendations, finding people with similar tastes to connect with, and accessing content related to all of that! What’s not to love?!
2. Goodreads
Goodreads is a nifty community website that allows you to connect with literature fans around the world. Millions of books are rated on Goodreads; sign up, read the reviews, see the high scores, and find good books within minutes.
3. LibraryThing
Like Goodreads, LibraryThing is a social networking site for book lovers. It’s more focused on library cataloging than reviewing, but it still offers a wealth of information about books and authors.
4. Bookstores
Independent bookstores, in particular, often have well-received old and new texts placed around the store, so have a read of their synopses and see if any of them are for you.
Talk to someone at the store. Staff at independent bookshops are usually well-read themselves and will happily chat with you about books, and make recommendations based on what you like personally.
5. Join a bookclub
Meet people from your city that loves reading as much as you do. Here, the focus is laid on meeting new like-minded people.
Reading is a solitary activity, but it doesn’t have to be a lonely one!
