How to Keep Reading Even if You Have Very Few Books to Read

(Longest...title...ever...D: )

Unfortunately for you, my older brother is using our desktop so I'm writing in our netbook. We don't have a spare mouse soooo that would mean no WFAM (Weird Facts About Me) for the moment. :I

Have some of you guys ever gotten the feeling that you want to read more but can't, mostly because your parents won't buy you any new books and you can't find any good stories?

Yeah. I've been there.

I don't read as many books as I want to (if everything was up to me, I would be able to read five medium-length books a day -.-) so I just have to make do with what I have.

The problem is, though, that I have very few books in the house. (Even if we have an entire library upstairs. Most of them are encyclopedias and science books and textbooks so I refuse to read them >:I.) And, unfortunately, I have a very good memory.

So even if you give me the entire Chronicles of Narnia series, once I read it twice or thrice, I'll have the entire story etched into my brain and I'll be bored of it. -.-

I'm constantly looking for new material to read so I wouldn't spend the whole day sniffing my feet. .__.

These are some ways I could keep reading even without spending every centavo of my savings on new books:

1. FREE KINDLE eBOOKS :D
Just goes to show that that old saying is true: The best things in life are freeeeee.

If you have no idea what Kindle is, it's a book-reading device. It's kind of like a tablet....a tablet that carries an entire library of eBooks into a sleek little device. :D Can you imagine that? You'll have hours of entertainment at your fingertips. (They're almost as good at keeping me occupied as bubble wrap!)

If, however, buying a device is just to read books is unappealing to you (why not buy an actual book instead? :OOO), you could just use Kindle Amazon.

You can download a Kindle Reader (for freeee) and then check out Amazon.com's Kindle store. You can find a whole load of totally fun eBooks there. The best part is, some of them are FREEEEE. It's like I'm shopping whenever I'm in the Kindle store, "buying" new books XDD

2. Read online!
Seriously, just because someone isn't a published author doesn't mean they aren't a great writer :I (I just happen to be one of those said great writers :3)

All you have to do is check out sites like FanFiction, Wattpad, and Storywrite to see cool stories by amazing, undiscovered writers. I've found great writers like CookieKrisp, Kouralia, and Bethany through these sites.

3. Borrow books from friends

LOL. This is the most humiliating of them all but...if your best friend has Heroes of Olympus: Mark of Athena and you're just DYIIIIING to read it, why don't you borrow it from him? I mean, it's much better than dying from boredom. :/

I'm so cliche. D: I'M BAD AT GIVING ADVICE.
NO DON'T LOOK AT ME. I BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF. DDD:

XD lol. no. I'm cliche AND PROUD OF IT. XDD What the heck...what's with all this caps lock...

That's it for tonight, I think, unless I get back to our desktop computer and draw you dudes a bunch of WFAMs. (WFAMs. loooool.) Peace out.
