@WheresMySquishy, @Hozzles, @ecla34 In regards to how to keep tabs on where u're up to in books: things i find helpful: - Goodreads; it's an app in which u can record ur progress in a specific book as well as keep track of books in "shelves" labelled to-read, reading and read. Can create an unfinished "shelf" for books u have to return to the library or a friend, and it will keep progress for when u want to move a book back to reading. - Keep all physical copies of books you're currently reading in the same place, preferably near where u read. For me that's next to my bed. - Bookmarks; can be anything, but I prefer magnetic ones. Makes it harder for them to come out when my book is in my backpack, or really any bag. - For ebooks; if have ereader, put on top of pile of books that you're currently reading, it's a book. - For reading ebooks and audiobooks on phone; keep book related apps in the same place on the phone. I have a folder called "books", also keep library book apps like Overdrive there. - See what u have; every now and then, go through all physical books, ebooks and audiobooks and actually assess what books u already have. If you're anything like me, there's a lot. - For general encouragement in reading; dare a friend to a book race. (Eg. See who can finish the Harry Potter series first.) Gives u someone to talk about the series with, and brings some otherwise lacking competition to the reading world. - Also sometimes the threat of spoilers can be a great motivator, though spoilers can also be a double-edged sword for motivation. So moderation. - Last but not least, memes; they're a great way to enjoy you're fav part of a book with someone. Old-fashioned conversation works too.
