LIFE GOALS

Start reading more today

Rediscover your love of books, comics and magazines.

Is your goal to read more? Is your “to be read” stack more like a tower? This selection of apps could bring back your enthusiasm for reading by finding you the literature you’ll love and getting you into good reading habits.

Find faves and track

Most of the struggle with reading more is finding exactly what you’re into. If your books bore you, it’s hardly surprising that you give up on them before the end.

Track your reading and score achievements along the way with Goodreads.

With these apps, you can plug in your preferences and find great recommendations that will keep you interested. You can also track your progress through your reading stack, motivating you to keep turning those pages.

Buy and rent

First things first: audiobooks count, OK? While traditional reading from a page will bring you a unique experience, for those of us who can only fit reading in while multitasking, audiobooks are a game changer.

Find a huge library of kids’ books in Epic.

Equally, if you have a great moment of downtime coming up on holiday, but don’t want to have to lug your physical copies along, e-book apps will save you space in your luggage while filling the space in your brain.

Start a club

Need a bit of outside accountability to keep you going?

Start or join a reading club with Bookclubs.

Start a book club or join an existing reading community with these apps and soon you’ll have a reading list and a discussion group to keep you interested and on track.

Beyond books

Don’t forget that reading isn’t just about books – it’s about consuming literature of any kind.

There’s more to reading than books. Enjoy amateur writing and fan fiction in Wattpad.

So, dig into the news, explore the work of amateur authors, brush up on all manner of topics through quick-fire book summaries or absorb yourself in the world of comics with this selection of apps.
