"Great way to spend leisure time"
How I did it
I started out by making a list of all the books I could think of that I wanted to write. Don't worry if you don't have too many books on here to begin with, as it will grow over time, mine grew pretty rapidly!
I went to the libary to get a copy of the first books I wanted to read. I actually had to join the libary as had never been a member before, but has saved me a lot of money given how much I read now.
Once I had the books, it was simply a matter of spending my free time reading, rather than wasting time on the internet, or watching television (I did a lot of this before).
I am so pleased to have achieved this goal, as I used to love reading when I was a girl, and until I started again I did not realise just how much I missed it.
Tips & Advice
I would recommend that chosse books which you really want to read. Choosing books that others have recommended which really don't appeal will make this goal hard work - and ultimately unrewarding.
