How To Become A Bookworm
The best way to do this is by making a plan, sticking to it and making reading a habit. When choosing books, you should pick ones that are either on your list or have been on your list for awhile but haven't been completed yet so you can cross them off your list as you go along. Read one book at a time until you finish it and then move on to the next one. If you find yourself struggling with one, just put it down for awhile until you're in the mood again and come back later. Start with a list of at least 12 books and gradually expand as you find new interesting books along the way.
