Enjoy reading in the year ahead

Thanks to libraries and technology it has become easier for you to find a book suited to your interests.

Getting into the culture of reading is not all that simple, so here are some ideas that may help you enjoy reading:

• Head to your local bookstore and look through the bookshelves to see what topics or genres interest you.

• Talk to the staff members at the shop as they are often clued up about what reads would be favoured by non-regular readers.

• Ask friends and family what they are currently reading, it might interest you and you can exchange books with them.

• Attend book fares and expo’s so you can meet authors and other readers who can give insight on which books you might enjoy.

• Joining a book club can be of great help, meeting with people who love reading and have a lot of information and knowledge about books.
