Happy New Year for 2013! The National Year of Reading, 2012 may be over, but that doesn't mean you should stop reading! Make a New Year's Reading resolution to...
- Keep reading. Newspapers, magazines, blog posts, car manuals, signs, posters, dictionaries, cook books and comics. Its all reading.
- Get a reading habit- Aim for just ten minutes a day! Try reading with your morning coffee, in your lunch break, in the bath, before bed.
- Read more books. Challenge yourself to read a book a week, or even to read a book this year.
- Stop reading books you are not enjoying. Life's too short. You don't need to finish every book you start.
- Read together. Read aloud to the kids, or sit together while you each read your own books.
- Re- read some old favourites. Remind yourself of why you love to read.
- Read outside your comfort zone. Joining a book group is a great way to do this.
- Read a new author. New to you, or a debut author.
- Read that book you've always planned to read- but never quite got around to.
- Read a book being made into a movie. Was the book better than the movie?
- Read a book recommended by someone else. It might be the best book you 've ever read.
- Visit the Library more often. You'll find there's more to read than just books...
