What to Read Next?

I’m random as heck. I hit up the used bookstore regularily for paperbacks, and take advantage of Boobub deals often enough that there’s always a book to read in my Kobo. I read less than I used to. In high school/university it wasn’t unusual for me to have a half dozen novels around the house that I was in the middle of. I’d pick up wherever I had left off in whatever book was handy. 

I also used to be an avid library customer, but I hit a point where I realized it was cheaper to just buy used books (epic overdue fines on a regular basis). 

So why do I read less now than I used to? Video games are part of the problem. I mean, I’ve been playing video games my whole life, but when I was younger I was playing slow-moving RPG’s, so I’d be reading a book while waiting for things to happen.

Now most of my gaming is Ingress, Pokémon Go, or Wizards Unite. Games that get me out of the house walking. When I’m home I’m either working on my YoYo business or writing.  

I also used to read in the bath every day. Then I got an IPad and discovered I could watch TV/movies. I don’t mind losing that reading time, I need time during the day when I’m resting my hands. But I still make the time where I can. After all, the key to good writing is good reading.

What about you? How do you choose your next book?
