How do you choose a book to read?

[Kaitlin Bryant]

First, I pick the one that catches my eye, be it the cover or the title. Then I will read the blurb; if I like it, then I will proceed.

This is exactly how I pick my books to read as well!

Once the cover of a book is attractive, I just go for it with the hope that it will be an interesting one.

Honestly, when it comes to choosing a book, it's solely based on what I'm feeling. I wish I could stick to a lost but I'm definitely a mood reader lol

When it comes to deciding what to read next, I am always in a dilemma. In my mind, I want to read everything impatiently, but I end up reading something I never counted on my list
So, how do you choose what to read next? Please throw some suggestions. Thanks

Unfortunately, I choose by whatever onlinebookclub is paying the most for with the fewest number of pages. That typically ends up being a self help book. So, emotionally, I am doing great. Financially, not so much.

I usually try and pick something that is entirely different from the genre that I just read to prevent burnout. Another way is reading the first page and then the 99th page. I heard somewhere that going to the 99th page will give you a better understanding of the writing style and density of the book and give you a better feel on if you would like it or not.

I grab a couple books I think I might be interested in and read the first chapter of each. Whichever one grabs me is the one I read. I am most definitely a mood reader.

When choosing a book to read, I usually consider a few factors. First, I think about my current mood and what type of book I'm in the mood for. I also consider the book's genre, author, and length.

I have at least 80 books in my To Be Read shelf. When choosing a book to read, I usually just take a look at that shelf and pick the first one whose title catches my attention.

I typically have an endless TBR to choose from, so from there I go based on my mood or what was recently recommended to me. Occasionally, if I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll go to the library and browse, often judging books by their covers and choosing the most interesting looking, but that’s a rare occurence when I know I have over 300 books on my TBR!
