The more you read the better reader you become
If you enjoy an author read all the other books they have written
Look for books in your favourite genre but don’t be afraid to try
something different.
If you’ve enjoyed a book recommend it to your friends
Give books a chance- you usually have to read at least 30 pages to get
into a book.
