In fact, according to a survey conducted by <em>Bookabook<\/em>, the first Italian crowdfunding publisher, <strong>41% of readers choose which books to buy based on recommendations from other readers, while 33% rely on social media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>More than <strong>15% of readers seek insights from newspaper and blog reviews<\/strong>, and they often place their trust in the guidance of their favored bookseller for inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing the right books to read is not easy. Everyone can relate to the overwhelming feeling of being in a bookstore, surrounded by thousands of titles, and struggling to figure out which book is right for you.<\/p>\n<p>You need to somehow sharpen your instincts, equipped with a sort of map, a compass that can provide guidance when you have various books in your hands to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>To make the right choice of a book and avoid leaving it unfinished on your nightstand, we&#8217;re giving you seven tips on how to find the perfect book.<\/p>\n<h1>How to Choose Books to Read<\/h1>\n<h2>7 Tricks for Choosing Books to Read<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> Science says having friends lengthens life. <strong>Having friends with the same literary tastes&#8230; lengthens your reading list.<\/strong> Most books are discovered through word of mouth, so the best way to discover new books is to talk about books! That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s essential to build a community of readers to find out about the best new books before they even reach the bookstore shelves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> The power of social media. <strong>Follow an Instagram or TikTok account<\/strong> that has recommended books you&#8217;ve enjoyed. Perhaps they share your tastes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> When you finish a book you liked, <strong>Google the author&#8217;s name<\/strong> with the aim of finding out if they&#8217;ve written other stories waiting to be read by you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Take a look at other books of the <strong>same genre published by the same publisher<\/strong> as a book you liked. The chances that the same person chose them are generally quite high. <em>So, why not trust it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> <strong>Ask your trusted bookseller,<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;If I liked this book, what do you recommend I read now?&#8221; As much as you may love books, there&#8217;s always a bookseller out there who knows more than you (and more than the algorithms).<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> <strong>Read reviews from specialized publications<\/strong>. Firstly, because very often, they are excellent readings themselves, and secondly, you might discover new fascinating stories to read.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Surprise yourself!<\/strong> Occasionally, choose a book that is not in line with your usual tastes. Maybe carry a book you&#8217;re sure you&#8217;ll like in your bag or backpack, like a parachute. But there&#8217;s no age at which a good book can&#8217;t surprise us. <em>And habits are made to be changed&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/grazias-must-read-list\/\">**GRAZIA&#8217;s Must-Read List For This Fall &#8211; Shop Now**<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42690,"featured_media":82183,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[6939,38,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Choose Your Books: 7 Tips and Tricks - Grazia USA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nee help choosing which books to read next?
