* **Who are your favourite authors?** Have you read all of their books?
* **Read the blurb first**! To get an idea of what a book is about, read the short summary that's usually printed on the back of the book. If it sounds interesting, try the first few pages.
* **Ask for recommendations from friends, family, teachers, or Mr Mac!**
* **Don't be afraid to put a book down:** It's okay to stop reading a book if you're not enjoying it. Reading should be fun, so don't force yourself to finish. Try giving it a few chapters before deciding, as some stories get better.
