What are you reading these days? Is it good? I hope so! I hope that your author uses word in a way that makes you want to keep reading. I hope the characters, action, dialogue, and description lead you through the problem to the solution. I hope that not only the character in your novel changes, but that you change a bit too. We are changed by books.
If your book does not hold your attention, find another book. That’s right—don’t read a boring book; find a book that is good for you. When I need a good book I have several places I look. First of all, I talk to friends and family and get their recommendations. Then, I look for books written by authors that I already like. Sometimes I will look at the best seller lists and lists of books that have won awards like Newberry. Sometimes I will find other lists such as the 100 best of a certain type of books such as science fiction.
When in doubt, check out GoodReads. They always have good suggestions.
The most important idea to remember: find a good book and read. Please send me your recommendations.
