Hopefully, these 10 tips will help you meet a reading challenge of 50+ books.
Tip 1: Don't pressure yourself into reading 50+ books each year. This is not something everyone can do, and it's not something you can do immediately after reading less than 50 books per year.
Tip 2: Read multiple books at once.
Tip 3: Use every format of book - physical, ebook, and audiobook.
Tip 4: Don't force yourself to read/finish a book you're not enjoying. Set it down and move on to a new book. (You can still pick it up later. If you're not enjoying it in a particular moment, don't force yourself to read it.)
Tip 5: Be selective about what you read. Don't read books you have no interest in. Look into books, and read a book's synopsis and some reviews.
Tip 6: Know what books are on your immediate TBR. This way, you have an easier time choosing your next book once you finish a book.
Tip 7: Be quick to pick up a new read once you finish a book. You don't need to pick up a book the minute you finish a book, but try to pick up a new read soon after.
Tip 8: Prioritize your book over your phone, iPad, TV, etc. If you're on your phone scrolling through social media, that's when you can be reading a book.
Tip 9: Listen to audiobooks as you do small tasks that don't require much of your attention, like laundry or the dishes.
Tip 10: Set aside time for reading on a daily basis.
