7 Ways To Find Your Next Favorite Book
For when your TBR list has run dry, and you’re looking for the next 10-hour-binge-reading novel
There are times when the sheer amount of books out there seems utterly overwhelming.
And there are times where it seems like all the good novels are already on your have-read list.
This article is to help you cure the latter.
There are truly so many books in the world, so many potential hours of laughter and love and pure joy, just waiting for you to find them.
So here’s seven methods you can follow to find your next I-love-reading-so-freaking-much book.
Look through your past holds and loans.
If you read on a digital device like a Kindle or phone, you might not pay for books with something like Kindle Unlimited.
Instead, you might use an online library(depending on your library, this method could also be applied to physical libraries).
Personally, I use Libby, which is a pretty awesome app for getting books wherever and whenever.
One of my favorite Libby features, which is a common one you can find on pretty much any book platform, is the timeline/history feature.
This allows you to see all the books you’ve borrowed and placed a hold on.
Something I love to do, both for nostalgia and inspiration, is to read through my history.
Often, I’ll have placed some holds or even loaned some books I never actually read.
Hideous, I know, but past-me chose these books for a reason — and usually, I’m still pretty interested in these books.
It’s like getting a curated list of potential-new-favorite-books from your past self.
Once you have this list, check them out again and read them.
Also, you know that feeling when you kind of remember a book but it’s title has slipped away from you?
