And of course whatever else you can think of!

How to get the best audiobook experience ? I've tried once and I didn't like it 🙁

I've never tried audiobooks so be interested in seeing someone who has answering this question. Btw which app did you use?

Audible. I just couldn't get into it, maybe it's a bad narrator or something.

Oh I'll check it out but is it free? Yeah maybe you can try another book but not every form of reading is for everyone. Maybe physically reading suits you best...

But Audio books sounds like a good alternate. Like we can listen to books during travel and during daily commutes and so on. I heard we had to buy audio books based on who's narrating it, but it sounds kinda daunting. I don't know if it's free. I paid for the book I read, but I definitely saw something about Free Trial. Maybe you can start there

Yeah they are indeed a really good alternative for the situations you described. And thanks for letting me know. I hope someone with experience on this topic can answer your question.

Also I heard from my friend that some books will have multiple voice actors lending their voice and they said it was like listening to a podcast. And I hope some audio book expert to answer my question lol

Any ideas for book blog posts?

I can't think if what to write in my blog🤷🤷

Ohh would you like to share the link of your blog? I'd love to check it out and give you ideas (if I come up with any) that you haven't already included!

Are there any tips on how to read faster?

Choose books that you enjoy to read. For example if you like science fiction then choose science fiction books. It will help you to read faster as you are interested in that genre.

For example if you don't like non fiction then if u choose a book in that genre, it's gonna take you days or even a month (even though it's like only 200 pages) to finish it. U are not interested in that genre so how fast you try to read it will not get finish easily like it will when you read a genre u like.

Hear audiobooks. It will help you to improve your reading speed. Skimming a book also helps. Make a goal.

Something that helped me read faster is timing how much pages I can read in an hour or 30 minutes. My goal was to complete 60 pages in an hour and gradually I developed my reading skill to that level after few books. Also be mindful of the genre. Sometimes we can struggle in a particular genre which stems from the fact that we are not that interested in the story or the genre. Audio books helps too but I couldn't get into it.

Yeah! I'd love to Eve

Soumasree, I did check out your blog and I found it awesome! You've done such a great work. Here are some ideas I came up with:
-Book reviews
-Releases you are excited about
-Your most anticipated reads
-Recommendations about a specific genre or trope
-An anti-tbr (books you don't plan reading)
-I don't know how else to describe it but this: "if you liked this popular book then read this"
-Show your dream cast for a book
-Answer a tag or create your own
-Compare/discuss cover editions of the same book

I hope you find this helpful!

Thanks for the tips.
I tried timing and it works.
Now I just need to find time to read.
Thanks again!!

Wow, that was helpful than any other blog ideas I've seen, thank you so much Eve

I would surely try them!

Anyone has a tip on how to get out of a reading slump? I tried an easy read, I enjoyed it but now I can't read anything else. What do I do?

Start some series that have 4-7 books
That is what i do when im in one

Reading thrillers sometimes get me out of slump or some Agatha Christie novels. If you feel like it would be too wordy ( especially during a slump ) then you should try some modern whodunnit. They are always exciting since we form theories on who would be the mystery killer lol

Thank you guys for your advice!
