If you are not an avid reader, then we have some handy tips to try and help you get into books!
Listen to audiobooks, it’s a great way of being able to hear a book and still be able to imagine all sorts without actually having to read.
Start with short stories. Short stories will help you start to build up your reading. Quite a few authors have a book of short stories, so you could find an author you liked and then build up to a full book.
Go chapter by chapter. Don’t try to rush through a book. It won’t go anywhere – you will always have it. Unless you throw it away, but what a sin that is!
Try and find a genre you like. It can be really hard to get into a book you don’t like, if you really don’t feel like it is for you then try something else.
If you need some inspiration why not look at our last blog where we picked one book from ten different categories. We hope that one of those will inspire you to start reading!

Extract - Masie Myres: Two Worlds
An extract from Tony M.Adams’ middle grade fantasy quest, where a 13-year-old girl holds the key to the secrets that could save the fate of the world... It was wet, warm, and slow-moving. Masie knew precisely what it was. As usual, Masie’s dog, Archie, had got in her bedroom and woke her up with a big, wet lick to her face. “Ewwww, Archie…” Masie mumbled, covering her head with her quilt. Archie sat down, his nose inches from Masie’...
