re: Becoming a Reader/Developing the Habit of Reading

I try to be really purposeful in reading at least 30 minutes before I go to bed at night. Trying to find a time that feels better for you and one that you can keep as a regular habit is good. Generally when I find a book that I get into, I will find myself reading at other times throughout the day. I also had a spell where reading for grad school really curtailed my reading for pleasure because I was so burnt out on the act of reading itself. It took me about a year after that to really get back into reading for pleasure.

If you have a Kindle, if you download the Kindle app on your phone they have a Kindle Challenge part where you can earn different achievements with reading streaks and so on.

What kind of genres do you like? Also, (you don't have to participate), but r/bookclub on Reddit has a ton of books they read each month across the spectrum. Every now and again I enjoy do that and partcipating in discussions there. The schedules they put out also help me stay engaged.
