Going Back to Reading Habit / myLot

Philippines

July 9, 2016 1:47am CST

Reading was one of my habits when I was younger. When I got married and had kids, reading almost took a back seat. I seldom open a book and finish it. There were few books that I have read like those of Mitch Albom's and the intriguing Fifty Shades of Grey. I want to go back to reading books again whether its a best seller, inspirational or anything that can interest me. I guess I have to check on the bookstore one of these days to find out something of my interest. Or may be I should check on the internet for a review. I prefer reading real books than those in the internet which they called E-books. My kids are into E-books and sometimes they share to me what they read. ANy suggestion?

I read quite a lot but usually let good reads (a website) help me decide what to read. I also just go via "others bought this" lists on amazon.

@cherigucchi goodreads, if you can access it, is a really awesome site and gives you reviews of books and also a portal to various platforms to purchase said books.

For me, it has to be a "real" book.

What do you mean "real book?" I assume you are not referring to those e-books.

I also love to read and I usually check the reviews on Amazon. It's also the best way to check the books by authors.

I used to get obsessed with reading and could not put the book down. It got to the point that I had to force myself to read. These days I rarely get the chance to read as life is so busy!

Reading is so peacefull, you should make time for it for your soul. I'm so into romantic books and so I will suggest Nicholas Sparks and John Green as writers because they are my favourite ones. You should try their books.
