How to Pick Interesting Books and Stay Consistent

Want to build a strong reading habit? Here's how to pick books that truly interest you—and smart ways to stay consistent without burning out. 

1

Know Your Curiosity 

Ask yourself: What excites me—mystery, growth, science, stories? Pick topics that spark curiosity instead of what others recommend blindly.  

2

Start With Page Turners 

Choose books with easy language, short chapters, or gripping plots. This builds momentum and makes reading feel effortless. 

3

Set Small Daily Goals 

Start with just 5–10 pages daily. Consistency beats speed. Over time, your brain craves the routine, and it becomes a habit. 

4

Mix Genres to Avoid Boredom 

Rotate genres to keep reading exciting—novels, biographies, self-help, even comics! It prevents mental fatigue. 

5

Use Tech to Stay on Track 

Try audiobook apps, reading trackers, or Kindle highlights to keep you engaged—even during commutes or chores. 

6

Make Reading Fun, Not Forced 

The goal is enjoyment, not pressure. DNF boring books guilt-free. Keep a reading journal and celebrate each finished book!
