Description
- Do you wish you enjoyed reading more than you do?
- Have you never really known how to find books that you'll enjoy?
- Do you struggle to find the time and the motivation to read as much as you would like?
- Are you normally an avid reader, but sometimes you find yourself in a 'reading slump', bored by every book you pick up and unable to concentrate?
Whether you love reading books, or have never really got into it as a hobby, if you answered yes to any of the above questions, this course is for you!
I believe that reading should be fun above all else, so I'll talk you through how to discard all your previous ideas about what books you 'should' be reading. I'll share several different methods to find books that match your interests and that you will enjoy.
I'll also tell you how, if you want to, you can meet other book fans, online and in person, and turn reading from a solitary activity into something social.

I enjoyed this and came away with some good ideas for expanding my book options. My main interest was how to find books to read that would appeal to me, and that was covered very well. Considering this is a free course, I think it is an exceptional deal. I also found some great resources on the instructor's blog.

yes, definitely I would say that it matches absolutely well for my type. I have always had the passion to read books, but most of the time I failed, as mentioned in this lecture the book you chose matters. So, it was an eye-opener for me especailly

It is very provoking to make someone like me (a non-reader) to get into reading things. Yes, things(books, magazines, etc.) by touching all the basics like why I can't read, why should I read and frankly where and how to start with reading.

Because the presentation is just talking about books without showing anything by video pictures......etc.

A really good, detailed and helpful class. I'm a slow reader of fiction, but Julianne has resources for all kinds of readers. She included links to book lists, online book discussion groups and other resources. Good course!

This information is pretty basic and can be found anywhere. I appreciate the effort but I wish there were real-world examples and/or advice on how to love books again.
