My first book finished for the 2019 year (and the first of my goal of 100), this was purposefully chosen to be my first book. Figured I'd start the year with a book to help 'boost' my reading.

While there was definitely some practical ideas and insights, it was mostly generally vague and more or less of an impractical type of boosting. After reading this, it definitely makes me WANT to read more. Did it really give me knowledge or help on HOW to read more? Ehh.... not so much, more of like a psychological push from behind to get me motivated to read more than a practical step-by-step process to help me read more.

Which in truth, is probably more beneficial. ( )

Doesn't really tread new ground, but an interesting take on the reading life from the founder of Levenger. He coins the phrase "ristening" - what we do with audiobooks. ( )

A delightful read for ... readers! Thoughtful coverage of what, where, and how to make your reading life even better. ( )

I really enjoyed this little book about reading books! It gives tips about how to organize your books and your reading life to get more out of what you read, and also to remember more of what you read. It talks about audiobooks (& how important the narrator is!), the fellowship of books, and book clubs. It was a really quick read and I just enjoyed it a lot! I highly recommend it for book lovers!

A useful book for improving your reading and enjoying what you read. Steven suggests that if you don't like the book you're reading put it down and start another. Good advice. ( )
