People have already given some good suggestions but another one I would add is you might want to consider joining or starting a book club! Knowing you’re going to discuss a book with other people can hold you accountable for reading it, and it can be a good way to branch out and read stuff you might not normally have picked on your own.

I think this is a great idea!! I always talk to my friends and family about the books i read but usually they have not read the same books as me so it's more or a monologue than a discussion ahah Confronting my opinions to the ones of other people would really motivate me.

Do you know where i can find online book clubs? Is there an app or something? Actually i live in Milan so there are probably book clubs in real life, i should look for them.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I don’t know of any apps off the top of my head, but I’d be shocked if something like that didn’t exist. The local libraries may also have book clubs if they do any kind of programming—a lot of US libraries do though I don’t know about other places in the world. I work at a library in Missouri and we have book clubs, and I also joined a Zoom book club hosted my friend who is a librarian in New York.
