  • What are your strategies for starting a book that’s hard to find the motivation for?

    I keep seeing this talked about in my book groups, so thought I’d ask. Edit to clarify what I meant: I meant when you're having a hard time picking up the book the first time to start the book in the first place but you know you want to read it, and may even know you'll enjoy it. And also share what I do! 1) I tell myself I’ll only read a chapter a day. And then if I end up finding it hard to put down, bonus! It makes it feel less daunting than “I have to read this book”. 2) Join book challenges (rainbow cover, abc, etc). Including a “book chain” one where the next book links to the last one. Example: Book cover is same colour as title of last book. Having it in a challenge feels extra motivating. 3) Join a buddy read to talk about the book. I was curious if anyone else had strategies to share! Sometimes I truly and really want to read the book but for some reason it’s just intimidating or otherwise hard to push myself to read.

    this book is very olivie blake core. some people will love this while others will despise it. the characters were very fleshed out and were easily the strongest part.
