In honor of the Olympics coming to Paris, read a book set in city of lights.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes the ugliest covers hide the awesomest of books.

I grew up in a small town and life there just has a different feel. Read a book set in a small town. Maybe a romance where a big city girl moves to a small town. Or a mystery where everyone is hiding a secret. Or a dystopian fiction about the few survivors of an apocalyptic event. The options are endless.

Deep dive into one author by reading three of their books.

Enjoy something that's a quick read - either because it's short or it's so good you read it really fast.

Fall in love with a story that takes place during autumn.

Dive into classic literature and discover a timeless work by a female author.

Read the life story of someone you admire written in their own words. Hopefully you still admire them after reading their memoir.

Pick a historical event and read about it. Whether fiction or nonfiction, find out more about that particular period of time.

Sometimes authors prefer to hide their identity and write under a different name. Read a book written under a pseudonym.

Instead of trying to solve a crime, read a thriller whose action takes place in the courtroom.

Dive into the magic of a fantasy book. Think knights and mages and wizards and possibly dragons.

You know the kind of book I mean. It's super popular and you've been meaning to read it, but just haven't gotten to it yet. Well, now's the time.

Select a nonfiction book that inspires you. Try a memoir with an inspiring true story. Or maybe a book that will inspire you to learn a new hobby or improve yourself. The possibilities are endless.

Give in to the temptation to pick up a shiny new book and choose a 2024 book release.

Time to spread your wings and read something that you wouldn't typically read. Maybe try poetry, a graphic novel, the latest science fiction or self-help book.

I know new releases are always so tempting. But take a moment and read a book that you already own but haven't gotten around to reading yet.

Basically every writer also loves to read just like you. Meaning they often write about books. Read a book that is about books, bookstores, or librarians.

Time to see what the hype is all about. Join the conversation and read a book that everyone else is talking about lately.

Read a book with a place name listed in the title, such as a city, country, or famous landmark.
