[FACT] Ways to be a Bookworm

'

Hello readers! I believe some of us here would really love to know how can someone be a bookworm, hence, some of you may want to know how to START READING. Well, once upon a time, in my life, I honestly WAS NOT a bookworm. I hated reading, I really think it is such a waste of time. I used to think "why should one waste money on a movie series novels while they can watch movie and experience it with a view and sounds!?" yep. That was ME 2 years ago.

Look at me now, starting to love books and having to read a page of any article or/and books at least once in a day or else I would feel like I left out. Now let's get to the point where I advice you some tips you may want to know how can I be so in love with this thing called BOOKS. I can say that I have become addictive to it.

Reading is one of the ways you can gain knowledge which no family/friends/people you know will tell you. Well no one really likes to be seen stupid, or feel stupid, or be stupid. Try giving yourself some extra knowledge.

Give your self some time

TIME is all that you need to be able to adapt with this routine. Make it as a habit to scan through some books before reading, and then get to a page or chapter which you find the most exciting to begin with. It is not necessarily a novel, it may be an article or story books, or newspapers. Try to be consistent when you are up to it. At the end of the day, you will realize that you have improved your reading skills and how much knowledge and information that you have gained so far.

Decide your Niche

You may stumble or saw some people who really love to read recommended books. Recommended books can be great but a little too cliche overtime. You would probably need to know what you LIKE instead of reading the books which people tell you it's good. If you love cooking/baking, then get some of those, you may want to read something about self help, or maybe language training. It could be anything. Regardless, everything you read will definitely give you some ideas.

Benefit Your Waiting Time

Your waiting time could be beneficial. Do not waste it with scrolling through videos or gossips, instead make yourself look intelligent by doing some book reading while waiting. Waiting for your food to be served, waiting for your turn for clinic appointment, anywhere at all.

Browsing through books

Browsing through books may sound like a waste of time. But trust me, spend a few moment of your time searching for books is actually a good feeling. It also broadens your thoughts while you saw some titles n your way. Rather being fixed to one niche, it wont hurt to try and find yourself a new taste once in a while. Besides, this could be an eye opener to you!

Learn an Effective Reading skills

Reading is not just depending on the reading skills, in fact you should learn some effective reading skills to develop your reading speed. Additionally, by scanning through the whole book and look for anything worth to highlight is also one of a skills that can be worth to learn. This way, will make you love reading.

Plan Your Reading Target

Reading target can be a quite challenging task to sustain. I experience this too where I have planned all of the titles and numbers of books to read. I ended up spoiling it and it keeps repeating over again. Well, the only thing we need to remember is to finish reading a book is challenging. We sometime gets boring to have to read the same book and forcing ourselves to read them till the end. Try to target one book each month and maintain it. Before you know it, this practice will turns into a habit you cannot resist. If this works well for you, try adding up 1 book each month.
