Do you love to read? Do you never know what you want to read? You have already read your favorite book a thousand times, and you want to read something new but you don't know what you want to read. You are going to go to the library but you haven't decided on a good book. If you have the right information, it is super easy to choose a book!
1 Make a list answering these questions:
What genre of books do you like? Sci-fi, adventure, mystery, non-fiction, fiction, realistic fiction?
What authors do you like? Research books by authors you've enjoyed in the past. Chances are they'll have another publication that you'll also enjoy, and by searching by authors, you can get more of the same types of books that the author wrote.
Is there a type of book, or a specific book you would like to try? If there is, search the book up and read its summary. That will help you decide if the book is right for you.
Are there any books in a certain series you would like to read? If you know the series then you can search the series then you can search the series online and you can find the books. You can also go to the library and see if they have the series that you are looking for.
What are your interests? Insert your hobbies into your library catalog search and set it to, "Keyword." By doing this, you will find books that you can read that you might like.
2 Search your house.
Often times good books will be quietly collecting dust in your own house. Maybe you forgot about one, or someone who is living with you has a couple good books. Also by searching your house, you can find books for yourself, that you can read, and it won't even cost you any money.
3 Ask someone to recommend a good book.
You can ask your older sibling, your mom, your dad, your best friend, or even your English teacher. Friends or family with whom you have things in common can often make excellent book recommendations. Local, small bookstores often have wonderful recommendations, and when they get to know you, it's even better! You should ask people that like the same genre of books that they have read, so that you can match books that you read.
4 Read book reviews in newspapers and magazines.
Read the bestseller lists published in most newspapers or weekly magazines. Find out which new books are making headlines, and why.
5 Join a book club.
Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books you might never have had the motivation to read otherwise. Joining a book club or making a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that others have read and discuss them. Get people that like to read books to join your book club.
