Ignite Your Passion for Reading: Fall in Love with Books
Discover books you'll love and communities of fellow readers
- Do you wish you enjoyed reading more than you do?
- Have you never really known how to find books that you'll enjoy?
- Do you struggle to find the time and the motivation to read as much as you would like?
- Are you normally an avid reader, but sometimes you find yourself in a 'reading slump', bored by every book you pick up and unable to concentrate?
Whether you love reading books, or have never really got into it as a hobby, if you answered yes to any of the above questions, my **FREE** course Ignite Your Passion for Reading: Fall in Love with Books is for you!
I believe that reading should be fun above all else, so I'll talk you through how to discard all your previous ideas about what books you 'should' be reading. I'll share several different methods to find books that match your interests and that you will enjoy.
I'll also tell you how, if you want to, you can meet other book fans, online and in person, and turn reading from a solitary activity into something social.
Your Instructor
Julianne Benford taught herself to read when she was three years old (true - just ask her mum!). As being a reading prodigy does not make for a lucrative career, she studied media, English literature, and creative writing, then tried a range of jobs before settling in higher education, where she manages communications and publicity.
She aims to explore subjects that aren't currently covered in other courses or books and create courses that are practical as well as inspirational.
She doesn't have much spare time as she has so many ambitions and interests, but when she allows herself some downtime she likes to sing, sew, knit, play piano, play board games, and of course, read!
