With so many books to read and so many more being published every day, the task of choosing which ones to read can be overwhelming. This week, we’re going to discuss how to choose the next book to read.
Many factors play into a reader’s decision to read a certain book. Here are a few of them:
1) Personal preference. Do you like fiction or nonfiction? If fiction, do you prefer sci/fi and fantasy, romance, or thrillers? If nonfiction, do you favor biographies, memoirs, or self-help books?
2) Recommendations by family or friends. This is, perhaps, the biggest reasons readers choose certain books to read. This factor is called “word-of-mouth” and accounts for nearly 80% of book choices. Now that’s a lot of books! It goes to show the power of peer influence on one’s reading habits.
3) Advertising. Publishers and authors continually promote their books in order to make readers aware of them. Promoting books is a huge industry in itself. With millions of books published each year, it’s quite a challenge for authors and publishers to get their books in front of potential readers.
Now it’s your turn. How to you choose what book to read next? Please share in the comment box below. Thanks! 🙂
Blessings,
MaryAnn <3
