A Guide for Non-Readers- What to Read?

Hi non-readers!

So welcome back to my guide for non-readers! This time I am going to be talking to you about what exactly you should read if your just getting started.

For those of you who haven't been here before I have two previous posts in this little series.

Why should you read?

And also, How to find the time to read.

I definitely don't want to offend anyone by naming a particular genre or age group of books. What I want to help you to do is narrow a specific group of books for you so that you can discover the joy of reading.

So, What type of shows do you watch on TV? This is the first step, narrowing down a genre specific to your interests. Think about what you like to watch on TV and what your hobbies/interests are. Once you have discovered a genre you like whether this be horror, fantasy or contemporary you have completed step one and already you have narrowed down your options which will lead to you hopefully finding your ideal book.

Step two is to select a handful of books from the genre and read its synopsis then choose the one you think you will like the most.

This is all there is to it really however piece of advice. It probably isn't the best idea if your just getting started reading to read a 600 page book, start with something smaller.

For my recommendations section I will select some genres and recommend some books from them. Sorry, if I leave out your genre.

Fantasy: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (this is quite lengthy but it is very addictive.)
Horror: Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan
Contemporary: Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne

That's all for now, Bye!
