2. I did this a lot as a teenager and in my early 20's.

I'd go to the science fiction section and just pick out interesting sounding books, discovered some good authors. I'd also go to the "new fiction" display and get mysteries or historical novels from there. My issue is I hate to not finish a book, it just bothers me. There's maybe been 5-10 books in my 67 years that I didn't complete and I read tons - last week I read 3 books and am on my 2nd for this week.

For several years I went to Book Bub daily and bought free and really cheap books. I got up to hundreds of unread books on my Kindle and unsubscribed because I was afraid I'd corrupt my book with such a huge volume. I'm still working on those, 2 years later. They are sneaky though, they'll make the first book free but you have to buy the subsequent ones. Of course they hook me in on that all the time since I dearly love series.

Anyway, good morning to a fellow book nerd.
