17 tiny tactics & tips to read more in 2026
Ideas and recommendations to jumpstart your book-reading engines for the year ahead-- and no, they aren't yet another book club.
Wanting to read more is as classic a resolution as they come, maybe second only to hitting the gym. I’m the wrong person to give advice about hitting the gym, but I can definitely help you read more— over the last few years I’ve ramped myself up towards reading 150+ books each year. It didn’t happen overnight, and I’m not suggesting that you need to do the same, but if you’re looking to go from, say, 2 books in 2025 to 7 books in 2026, or to hit your first Goodreads reading goal… I’ve got you!
Set your alarm 30 min earlier. Charge your phone in another room overnight and when the alarm goes off, reach for the book instead of reaching for your phone. (If you need an alarm clock reco, I do this with the Hatch.)
