From the right e-reader to a book subscription, here are my favorite ways (some free, some vibe-setting) to read a lot
TL;DR

- Keep a reading journal to track progress and write reviews.
- Incorporate reading into your commute or waiting times using audiobooks or e-readers.
- Set reading goals and participate in challenges (e.g., Goodreads) for motivation.
- Plan your reading list in advance and use tools like Goodreads to stay organized.
- Join or start a book club for a social and accountable reading experience.
- Attend author events, book signings, or panel discussions.
- Minimize phone use during reading time to avoid distractions.
- Borrow e-books and audiobooks for free from your local library using apps like Libby.
