How To Read More? | The Book Box | Help

1. Read Books You Actually Like

Let’s start with the golden rule: life’s too short to read books you don’t enjoy. If you’re forcing yourself to slog through a “classic” that feels like homework, put it down and pick up something that excites you. Whether it’s a gripping thriller, a fluffy romance, or a graphic novel, reading should feel like a treat, not a punishment.

And here’s a little secret: at The Book Box, we make it even easier to find books you’ll love. Our book subscription boxes are carefully curated to match your tastes, so you never have to waste time on books that don’t spark joy. Each month, we handpick books we know you’ll want to dive into, making it effortless to read more and enjoy every page. Because when you’re reading books you actually like, reading more becomes second nature.

2. Set a Daily Reading Goal (Even a Small One)

Consistency is key! Instead of aiming to read an entire book in one sitting (which, let’s be honest, rarely happens), try setting a small daily goal. For example, 30 pages a day adds up to 210 pages a week—that’s basically a whole book! You’ll be amazed at how quickly those pages stack up when you make reading a daily habit.

3. Join a Book Club

Reading doesn’t have to be a solo activity. Joining a book club is a great way to stay motivated, discover new books, and chat with fellow book lovers. Plus, having a deadline (even a soft one) can help you stay on track. And let’s be real—wine and book discussions are a match made in heaven.

4. Audiobooks for Multitasking

Who says you have to sit still to read? Audiobooks are a game-changer for busy people. Pop in your earbuds and “read” while you’re driving, folding laundry, or even walking the dog. It’s like sneaking in extra reading time without having to clear your schedule. Bonus: you’ll finally get through that intimidating 800-page novel you’ve been avoiding.

5. The 5-Book Rule

Here’s a trick to keep things fresh: always have 5 books on the go. Choose different genres or styles so you can switch depending on your mood. Not feeling that dense historical fiction? Swap it out for a lighthearted comedy or a fast-paced mystery. With options at your fingertips, you’ll never feel stuck—and you’ll always have something to look forward to.
