]]> If reading happens to be your favorite hobby, you probably often find yourself being drawn to several books at once. If you can’t decide which book to pick, reading several at once is also an option, and our brief guide will help you effectively juggle between them.

Different Genres

Diversify the genres you’re reading to avoid mixing the books up. Altering between different genres and mixing fiction and non-fiction can help you set the right balance and keep you interested in each book.

Right Mood

One of the best things about simultaneously reading several books is that you can always go with the one you’re in the mood for. Focus on the story that captures your attention the most and revisit other books on your list when you’re ready to dive into a different world.

Different Formats

Consider altering between different formats, including physical copies, digital, and audiobooks to make reading multiple books at once more manageable.

Take Breaks

If you’re reading a real page-turner that you can’t put down, don’t force yourself to stop so you can go back to another book on your list. Feel free to take breaks when a captivating new story catches your attention because that’s the real magic of reading multiple books at once.

]]> Mindlessly scrolling through social media tends to eat up a huge chunk of our day, and we could spend this time doing something much more productive—including reading. If you’re looking for a way to replace your time on Instagram and TikTok with some quality time with your favorite book, these useful tips will get you there.

Reading On Your Phone

Nothing feels like holding a book in your hands and flipping through pages, but what if you simply can’t put your phone down? Reading on your phone is always an option, so download a reading app if your phone doesn’t already have one, and open it every time you feel like going to Instagram without a clear purpose in mind.

Have a Book By Your Side

If reading on the phone simply isn’t your thing, make sure to have a book by your side at all times. When you find yourself reaching for your phone on your commute or while waiting up for someone, use that time to read one chapter instead.

Social Media Bed Break

Checking social media before falling asleep is one of the bad habits we should all work on, and books can help you there. Keep the last hour or 30 minutes before bed social media free, and try to set that time aside for some better activities—such as reading.

]]> If a rainy day has got you stuck in the house, do not fret. There are many exciting activities to do on a rainy day that do not require much preparation, money, or time. Keep reading for a short list of creative activities to do when stuck in the house on a rainy day.

Paint and Sip

Grab a bottle of your favorite wine or non-alcoholic beverage and some painting supplies and enjoy a paint and sip day with friends or family. This is a great way to get your creative energies flowing on a slow, rainy day, and the soothing sound of the rain will only make the activity more relaxing.

Read a Good Book

Curl up with a good book on the couch, and catch up on some heavy reading. Reading is a relaxing activity, calms your mind, and will transport you into another world.

Cook or Bake

Try a fun and exciting new recipe that you have been meaning to try. Look up TikTok or Instagram recipes, whip out your apron, and get cooking. The world of cooking is vast and perfect for creative exploration on a rainy, bitter day.

Self-Care

Engage in self-care activities such as doing your nails, putting on a face mask, or taking a bath. Self-care or mental health days are very important and integral toward preventing burnout in your busy life. Rainy days are a perfect excuse to use them!

Team Effort

It’s important that every member of the club has a say when it comes to books you’re reading. You can all suggest books you like, but having a voting system in place ensures everyone is heard, in case taking turns in picking books doesn’t work.

Realistic Goals

If your book club is meeting quite often, try to go with shorter books so everyone would have enough time to read them. Even if you don’t have an extremely busy schedule, book club picks probably won’t be the only books occupying your time.

Great Discussion

The point of a book club is to engage in a conversation about the story you just read, but some books don’t have too much to say. That’s why you should make sure to pick the ones that can lead to a great discussion.

Window Seat

Creating a cozy corner by the window will save you a lot of space and the lighting is great for reading. Not to mention it’s super cute and romantic.

Mini Library

Surrounding yourself with dozens of books will inspire you to read even more, so turning your reading corner into a mini library is a great idea. If you have only a few of your favorite books at the moment, find the most creative way to display them and start building your library.

]]> Being on the road can disrupt your daily routine, and you may find yourself ditching your favorite hobbies along the way. If reading happens to be one of them, we’re here to help you find time for this activity, even when you’re constantly hopping from one city to the next.

Modern Technologies

Space in your suitcase is probably extremely limited, and it’s highly unlikely that you’re going to be able to pack your books, as well. Fortunately, you can download countless books to your phone or e-reader, and they barely take up any space.

Planes and Trains

We don’t blame you if you’re feeling too tired to read after hours of sightseeing, but that’s not your only free time. Instead of staring through a window for an eternity while traveling on planes and trains, put that time to some good use.

Вот вам реальный кадр так называемого выхода из зоны комфорта. Правда, с кофейком и англоязычным чтивом. Into the wild: орущие дети в самолёте, необъятные тётки в мини-бикини на пляже, бездонные жиробасы у шведского стола, песни Ваенги (мне так сказали 😬) с соседнего балкона, караоке/дискотека по вечерам и, о горе, платный Wi-Fi, с трудом подгружающий пару песен. А ведь мне всего-то и хотелось — попробовать, по примеру некоторых, думать свои мрачные мысли (ну и тексты писать, само собой) в каком-нибудь более тёплом и солнечном месте с морем, пальмами и безлимитным баром (но с такими напитками я скорее совсем пить перестану). В общем, вы поняли уже, какой я курортник. 😒 #anikerg_reading _____________________ . . . . . . . . . . #handsinframe #coffeecup #coffeeporn #wearetravelgirls #iamatraveler #dametraveler #simplebeyond #trottermag #planefood #coffeegram #travelreading #readingrocks #life_estetique #flightmode #stylenetwork #кофеман #полетели✈ #всамолете #visitturkey #igturkey #viewfromtheplane #worldtravelpics #antalyaturkey #traveldeals #turkeyphotooftheday #turkeystagram #readinglist #мирдолжензнатьчтоячитаю #чтопочитать

Just Listen

Long commutes are perfect for reading when you use public transportation, but things can get tricky when you’re driving instead. That shouldn’t stop you from enjoying an intriguing story during your road trips since audiobooks can make it happen.

Many people put off reading during the year in hopes that when summer comes they’ll fly through the books stacking up on their nightstand, so if this sounds like you, this is how to get all your reading done!

Tanning Time

The best way to ensure that you can get your tan on and still read is by bringing your book to the beach or the pool! Make sure you slather on lots of sunscreen, but if you want to lay out a few times during the week or weekend, this can be the best time for reading since there’s really nothing else to do.

Travel

Whether you’re going on a flight or a road trip with friends, don’t forget to pack your book when you go on a trip! Staying connected to where you are and being focused on a book instead of watching tv while you travel is an awesome way to get through that book of yours.

Go Outside

Even if you live in a city, since the days are longer in the summer, make an excuse to go outside as much as you can, especially when it’s not as hot in the evenings. While you’re in your backyard or at the park, bring your book along so you can have a reading session!

]]> You might be a book lover, but it can be difficult to find a book that suits you perfectly. Here are some great ways to find the best book for you!

Independent Book Stores

Also known as indie book stores, this is a great resource to have while few people actually take advantage of it! A lot of book stores will require the employees to have their own picks for the month or every few months, so you can see what well-read people are liking.

Librarians

Librarians are also super on top of book trends, and they are an amazing wealth of knowledge on so many genres.

Head to your local library and start chatting up the librarians to find their favorite picks. Best of all, if they have the book in stock, you can take it home for free without pressure!

Book Awards

There are so many book awards from around the country and the world, but don’t just look to the books that win it!

All prizes have short lists and long lists, which are books that make their way up and up the list until one is ultimately crowned the winner. But those contenders are usually just as fabulous, if not even better than the winners!

]]> Leading an active lifestyle and finding time for your hobbies can be tricky, but it’s sometimes possible to mix these two together. If you’re a book-lover looking for a way to stay in a good shape, here’s how you can achieve this goal.

Audio Books

Listening audio books is the easiest way to implement this alternative form of reading into your workout. It’s definitely not for everyone, but it can prove to be pretty effective and help you get through your workout with ease.

5 reasons audio books are the best: 1. Books being read to you in fancy British accents? Baby, I'm swooning. 2. ‎Your. Hands. Are. Free. To. Do. Anything? Its magic! 3. ‎Did I talk about Neil Gaiman and his British accent? 4. ‎Can't read on the bus cause people keep jostling you until you wanna poke their eyes out? Audiobooks! 5. ‎The God of Slumps has been following you around like a rain cloud? Audiobooks is the answer for you! Seriously though this past month where I haven't had a lot of time on my hands all I've been using is this amazing app @storytel.in . Be it whilst I'm cooking or travelling or just lounging around too tired to actually hold a book, I am listening to audiobooks and seriously my lazy ass is so thankful for this brilliant creation. Also there are so many awesome new releases and YA books on here that if you dont fall in love I personally will give you your money back. Pst the first month is for free so what you waiting for? . . . . #bookstagram #booklovers #redrising #aestheticgram #photooftheday #bookoftheday #bookstagramfeature #bookofinstagram #booksarebae #rusticphotography #vscofilter #vscobook #vsco #flatlay #flatlayforever #mybookfeatures #unitedbookstagram #postitfortheaesthetics #creativegrammer #bloggerinspo #bloggerstyle #audiobook7

Indoor Walk

Most of us like to read in bed, but that’s not the only option. Walking is the easiest way to keep your body moving without making an effort, and you can easily do it while holding a book. Just take a stroll around your room, or go to the garden if you have one, while practicing your favorite hobby.

E-Book Readers

Reading e-books while exercising on a stationary bike or a treadmill is an option, but it has its downsides. It can lead to a decrease in exercise intensity, since you’ll be focusing your attention on your Kindle and not your workout, but some book-lovers still enjoy it.

Morning! Our friends arrived yesterday from sunny south France and we had such a lovely evening eating together. I’ve sent them off to do important London things today such as changing of the guard, London Eye (never been on it 🙈) and Hamleys (you’re welcome kids, sorry parents). I didn’t understand everything yesterday (as obviously the conversation was mainly in French) but I did understand when their little son told me he liked the colours of my books. ☺☺☺ This made me happy inside! Curry night tonight (obvs) was then lots of fun (if rainy) plans for the weekend.

In Bed

Reading in bed is one of the best chances for you to get in a few pages of reading! Whether you do it for 5 minutes before you go to sleep, or read a few pages when you first get up, or both, keeping a book by your nightstand and really committing yourself to reading every time you get into bed will help you get back into a routine.

Carry a Book Always

The most annoying times is when you have to wait for someone, whether it’s a meeting, lunch with a friend, or even drinks, and you don’t just want to be on your phone the whole time. Instead, bring a book with you in your bag and whenever you have to wait, you can always pull out your book and get in a few pages.

Realistic Goals

If your book club is meeting quite often, try to go with shorter books so everyone would have enough time to read them. Even if you don’t have an extremely busy schedule, book club picks probably won’t be the only books occupying your time.

Great Discussion

The point of a book club is to engage in a conversation about the story you just read, but some books don’t have too much to say. That’s why you should make sure to pick the ones that can lead to a great discussion.

Window Seat

Creating a cozy corner by the window will save you a lot of space and the lighting is great for reading. Not to mention it’s super cute and romantic.

Mini Library

Surrounding yourself with dozens of books will inspire you to read even more, so turning your reading corner into a mini library is a great idea. If you have only a few of your favorite books at the moment, find the most creative way to display them and start building your library.

]]> Being on the road can disrupt your daily routine, and you may find yourself ditching your favorite hobbies along the way. If reading happens to be one of them, we’re here to help you find time for this activity, even when you’re constantly hopping from one city to the next.

Modern Technologies

Space in your suitcase is probably extremely limited, and it’s highly unlikely that you’re going to be able to pack your books, as well. Fortunately, you can download countless books to your phone or e-reader, and they barely take up any space.

Planes and Trains

We don’t blame you if you’re feeling too tired to read after hours of sightseeing, but that’s not your only free time. Instead of staring through a window for an eternity while traveling on planes and trains, put that time to some good use.

Вот вам реальный кадр так называемого выхода из зоны комфорта. Правда, с кофейком и англоязычным чтивом. Into the wild: орущие дети в самолёте, необъятные тётки в мини-бикини на пляже, бездонные жиробасы у шведского стола, песни Ваенги (мне так сказали 😬) с соседнего балкона, караоке/дискотека по вечерам и, о горе, платный Wi-Fi, с трудом подгружающий пару песен. А ведь мне всего-то и хотелось — попробовать, по примеру некоторых, думать свои мрачные мысли (ну и тексты писать, само собой) в каком-нибудь более тёплом и солнечном месте с морем, пальмами и безлимитным баром (но с такими напитками я скорее совсем пить перестану). В общем, вы поняли уже, какой я курортник. 😒 #anikerg_reading _____________________ . . . . . . . . . . #handsinframe #coffeecup #coffeeporn #wearetravelgirls #iamatraveler #dametraveler #simplebeyond #trottermag #planefood #coffeegram #travelreading #readingrocks #life_estetique #flightmode #stylenetwork #кофеман #полетели✈ #всамолете #visitturkey #igturkey #viewfromtheplane #worldtravelpics #antalyaturkey #traveldeals #turkeyphotooftheday #turkeystagram #readinglist #мирдолжензнатьчтоячитаю #чтопочитать

Just Listen

Long commutes are perfect for reading when you use public transportation, but things can get tricky when you’re driving instead. That shouldn’t stop you from enjoying an intriguing story during your road trips since audiobooks can make it happen.

Many people put off reading during the year in hopes that when summer comes they’ll fly through the books stacking up on their nightstand, so if this sounds like you, this is how to get all your reading done!

Tanning Time

The best way to ensure that you can get your tan on and still read is by bringing your book to the beach or the pool! Make sure you slather on lots of sunscreen, but if you want to lay out a few times during the week or weekend, this can be the best time for reading since there’s really nothing else to do.

Travel

Whether you’re going on a flight or a road trip with friends, don’t forget to pack your book when you go on a trip! Staying connected to where you are and being focused on a book instead of watching tv while you travel is an awesome way to get through that book of yours.

Go Outside

Even if you live in a city, since the days are longer in the summer, make an excuse to go outside as much as you can, especially when it’s not as hot in the evenings. While you’re in your backyard or at the park, bring your book along so you can have a reading session!

]]> You might be a book lover, but it can be difficult to find a book that suits you perfectly. Here are some great ways to find the best book for you!

Independent Book Stores

Also known as indie book stores, this is a great resource to have while few people actually take advantage of it! A lot of book stores will require the employees to have their own picks for the month or every few months, so you can see what well-read people are liking.

Librarians

Librarians are also super on top of book trends, and they are an amazing wealth of knowledge on so many genres.

Head to your local library and start chatting up the librarians to find their favorite picks. Best of all, if they have the book in stock, you can take it home for free without pressure!

Book Awards

There are so many book awards from around the country and the world, but don’t just look to the books that win it!

All prizes have short lists and long lists, which are books that make their way up and up the list until one is ultimately crowned the winner. But those contenders are usually just as fabulous, if not even better than the winners!

]]> Leading an active lifestyle and finding time for your hobbies can be tricky, but it’s sometimes possible to mix these two together. If you’re a book-lover looking for a way to stay in a good shape, here’s how you can achieve this goal.

Audio Books

Listening audio books is the easiest way to implement this alternative form of reading into your workout. It’s definitely not for everyone, but it can prove to be pretty effective and help you get through your workout with ease.

5 reasons audio books are the best: 1. Books being read to you in fancy British accents? Baby, I'm swooning. 2. ‎Your. Hands. Are. Free. To. Do. Anything? Its magic! 3. ‎Did I talk about Neil Gaiman and his British accent? 4. ‎Can't read on the bus cause people keep jostling you until you wanna poke their eyes out? Audiobooks! 5. ‎The God of Slumps has been following you around like a rain cloud? Audiobooks is the answer for you! Seriously though this past month where I haven't had a lot of time on my hands all I've been using is this amazing app @storytel.in . Be it whilst I'm cooking or travelling or just lounging around too tired to actually hold a book, I am listening to audiobooks and seriously my lazy ass is so thankful for this brilliant creation. Also there are so many awesome new releases and YA books on here that if you dont fall in love I personally will give you your money back. Pst the first month is for free so what you waiting for? . . . . #bookstagram #booklovers #redrising #aestheticgram #photooftheday #bookoftheday #bookstagramfeature #bookofinstagram #booksarebae #rusticphotography #vscofilter #vscobook #vsco #flatlay #flatlayforever #mybookfeatures #unitedbookstagram #postitfortheaesthetics #creativegrammer #bloggerinspo #bloggerstyle #audiobook7

Indoor Walk

Most of us like to read in bed, but that’s not the only option. Walking is the easiest way to keep your body moving without making an effort, and you can easily do it while holding a book. Just take a stroll around your room, or go to the garden if you have one, while practicing your favorite hobby.

E-Book Readers

Reading e-books while exercising on a stationary bike or a treadmill is an option, but it has its downsides. It can lead to a decrease in exercise intensity, since you’ll be focusing your attention on your Kindle and not your workout, but some book-lovers still enjoy it.

Morning! Our friends arrived yesterday from sunny south France and we had such a lovely evening eating together. I’ve sent them off to do important London things today such as changing of the guard, London Eye (never been on it 🙈) and Hamleys (you’re welcome kids, sorry parents). I didn’t understand everything yesterday (as obviously the conversation was mainly in French) but I did understand when their little son told me he liked the colours of my books. ☺☺☺ This made me happy inside! Curry night tonight (obvs) was then lots of fun (if rainy) plans for the weekend. Happy Friday mes amies 😘😘 . . . . . . . #spotlightonmyhome #periodfeatures #rainbowbookshelf #bookstagram #myperiodhomestyle #walltowallstyle #rainbowbooks #colourmyhome #victorianhouse #sorealhomes #interiorstyling #apartmenttherapy #myhometrend #sassyhomestyle #myhomevibe #interiormilk #cornerofmyhome #styleithappy #myhousebeautiful #mygorgeousgaff #dailydecordetail #myinteriorstyletoday #designsponge #sodomino #myseasonalrevamp #howihome #howyouhome #rockininteriors #mycreativeinterior #duluxpebbleshore

In Bed

Reading in bed is one of the best chances for you to get in a few pages of reading! Whether you do it for 5 minutes before you go to sleep, or read a few pages when you first get up, or both, keeping a book by your nightstand and really committing yourself to reading every time you get into bed will help you get back into a routine.

Carry a Book Always

The most annoying times is when you have to wait for someone, whether it’s a meeting, lunch with a friend, or even drinks, and you don’t just want to be on your phone the whole time. Instead, bring a book with you in your bag and whenever you have to wait, you can always pull out your book and get in a few pages.
