Most avid readers kick the year off by setting a reading goal for themselves, only to realize they bit off more than they can chew. If that happens to be the case with you, you’re probably struggling to complete your reading goal before the year is over, but we’re here with all the tips and tricks you’ll need to read more in less time.
Mood Reading
It’s tough to reach your reading goal when you’re forcing yourself to read certain books only because you feel that you should. Leave them for another time and focus on reading books that you’re actually in the mood for so you wouldn’t get stuck in the middle.
Shorter Books
You should focus on quality over quantity when it comes to books, but who says that short books can’t be good? Many beloved classics, such as Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, George Orwell’s Animal Farm, and John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men have a pretty low page count, but that’s not stopping them from being extraordinary.
Short Stories
Collections of short stories will also count towards your reading goal, and you can cover them in a pretty short period of time because they’ll keep your interest much easier than long novels.
Poetry
Poetry is another great genre worth exploring when you’re trying to complete your reading goal because you can read it pretty quickly, while also broadening your literary horizons.
