I've found I'm using my e-reader much more often since joining OBC. It's just so dang easy to read a review and then buy and download the book with one click!

Definitely. I'm reading more, and using more my ipad for reading (and I discovered I'm starting to enjoy it quite a lot, I used to be much more paper-book defender)

Yes! I read a lot more books more often from a variety of genres. I also have become more analytical in taking notes on the books that I read.

I'm probably reading the same amount, but I'm reading more authors that are new to me. I'm also reading more online via pdf and kindle as that's where the review copies are posted. When I'm not reading to review, I only read physical books as they are less strain for my eyes.

Yeah, for me, obviously! I always wanted to read books but would stop after reading a few pages. But now I have read some books; and I think of myself as a reader (not bragging)!

Yes my reading habits have changed since joining OBC. I had taken a long break from reading books. Now I am reading much more frequently.

Latest Review: Toni the Superhero by R.D. Base

Post by Alissa Nesson »

My reading habits have definitely changed since joining the review team here. I’ve discovered new authors and read different kinds of books for review that I’m sure I would never have found or read otherwise. I’ve also started reading two books at once, one for review and one that I choose, whereas before I would have just focused on one book at a time.

Definitely, I am not reading my usual genre, but this doesn't matter, as I'm reading such a variety, all out of my 'comfort zone', which is giving me a wider reader experience. I think this is very healthy.

Yes. I've been increasing my reading speed and making reading a daily activity, as well as seeking extra income to buy other new books.
