In this episode, I talk about how I built my "reading muscles" to read 105 books in 2017. I suggest two methods which are having a daily "pages" or "time" reading goal. For example, read 1 page in the morning and one page in the evening. The same with a time goal where you read 5 minutes in the morning then 5 minutes in the afternoon. Once you feel comfortable with your goal keep adding more pages or time so you keep building those "reading muscles." In the beginning, I suggest reading 200 pages or less entertaining books or books on subjects that you are very interested in. Then start reading more books with over 200 pages on subjects you or interested in but not really familiar with.

I talk about the two things I used, physical library books and library apps, to read 105 books in 2017 without spending a penny. With physical books, I use the "home delivery" to save time and money driving to a library. Plus if the library does not have the book then I "suggest-a-title," which the library will send to your home for free when it becomes available. The two free library mobile apps I use are OverDrive and Hoopla. The mobile apps are great to read more when there are times you are waiting for someone, in line, or watching tv with kids.
