Summer reading | Do’s and Don’ts

By Rebecca Reed

We are trying to find a better season to read a book, Summer is up there with Winter at a very close second. The contrast between sitting in a park on a blanket with a good read and sitting in front of a fire with a cup of tea are very different but both warm our souls here at World of Books. We have compiled a list of Dos and Don’ts for Summer reading this season.

Do – Read outside. Be sure to top up your Vitamin D but make sure you are sun safe with suncream though.

Don’t – Think that you are Instagram famous by a pool, your book will probably get splashed and ruined and this makes us sad.

Do – Go to a library. Take out a book, challenge yourself to read it before the deadline.

Don’t – Keep said library book. Return it by the deadline to avoid incurring any costs.

Do – Get lost in your book. Make sure you travel to those places and devour every single word.

Don’t – Get so lost in your book that you become a hazard to yourself or other people. Remember there will be others in the park/pool with you!

Do – Read something different. Fantasy genre your thing? Why don’t you try reading the serious science fiction genre instead?

Don’t – Forget your favourite genre. There is a reason why you love Harry Potter so much.

Do – Choose a book with a daydream inducing hero/heroine. Remember, it’s okay to have a fictional character crush.

Don’t – Faint, due to the aforementioned hero. People may think you have sun-stroke.

Do – Leave a book review. Recommend your favourite read to your friends.
