There is no such thing as a boring book, but there is such a thing as trying to read a book that is the wrong fit for you.

There are many persons who have sworn off reading because of past experiences of being forced to read a book that they believe to be a snooze fest. It may have been for school, work, book club or it may have been at a point when the individual was just trying to get into the habit of reading.

It’s important to know how to choose the right books for you based on your own interests and likes. Clearly, not everyone is the historical fiction, autobiography or sappy romance type of person. Here are some ways to help you chose a book that will make you forget that you actually hate reading:

·         If there is a specific book you would like to read, I suggest you read the reviews first instead of jumping in head first.

·         Chose books based on your personality. If you like humor, try choosing a book that appeals to that side of you. If you like the comedian Kevin Hart for example, you’ll absolutely love his book entitled “I can’t make this up”

·         Ask someone who knows you really well and who also happens to enjoy reading to recommend a book they think you would enjoy.

·         Visit a book store and browse through all the books that interests you. Read the summary or go online and browse the reviews of those books.

·         If you enjoyed reading the book you choose, use it as a guide to find similar titles. There are many places online that will give you recommendations based on the types of books you actually liked reading.

MEET UP

A book signing will help you meet your target audience. You know when you decide to write for persons from ages 18 to 45? Well now you get to meet them and place faces to that age range. Commune with them and understand what they appreciate about your book and of course what they did not like. This will help you understand their personalities and know what excites your reading audience and what does not. A meet up with a reader can also help market your book through their word of mouth. They could recommend it to other people or to their book clubs or even schools.

INSPIRE

When you are privileged to meet with readers, all you can do is share your experiences and your cause so as to inspire. A lot of people at book signings are looking for the perfect success story and to be told they can chase their dreams without the fear of failure. This is what a lot of writers possess. So talking with them will inspire them to do more and to be more and this is what a book signing can give you.
