Anyway, I paid this kindness forward and sent the book to Jorja, who I met in an online book club. Lovely Jorja then sent me a gorgeous thank you card and I’ve put it pride of place on my bookcase. Next time you’re in a slump, go hang out in the book club. 4. Two Books are Better Than One I usually read two books at a time. The reason I do this is because I’m a slow reader, often having to read in short bursts because I never know what I might be doing from one day to the next. This helps in two ways: 1. I chose two very different stories and so if one doesn’t suit my mood that day, I can read the other. 2. I keep a paperback in my bag and the kindle in my bedside drawer. I know it seems like I should do this the other way around to save space but I often forget to charge my kindle, keeping it near a power source works better for me.
