What tips do you give to people who want to create a reading habit this year?
Beatriz Marques, from @letteraturas: “I think, first of all, it’s just getting started and not thinking that it’s going to be easy at first. The secret is to try to read a little every day, 10/20 minutes, until reading becomes part of your routine, your daily life. I like to think about why it's important for me to carve out a little time every day to read. This helps me not to let go of the habit.”

Marilene Bispo, from @leiturasdamarilene: “The first steps to creating a reading habit is to read a book in a genre you love. Let's assume that the person watches a lot of romance films. She can find a book based on what she likes and always follows along.”
Timna Cerqueira, from @leitura.motivada: "Constancy. The habit of reading is built with a lot of constancy and effort. Trying to fit reading into your daily routine is very important, trying to establish a rhythm and stick to it. This is the main tip for anyone who wants to build a reading habit.”
What books do you recommend for those who are starting to create the habit?
Beatriz Marques, from @letteraturas: “It’s cool to start with short stories. There are many national ones, which have just a few pages and you can read without stress: Axiom, Parallel Reality, Evidence of a Betrayal. Books by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Emily Henry are also a good place to start.”

Marilene Bispo, from @leiturasdamarilene: “Romance, anything by Colleen Hoover, but start with It Ends with Us (+18) or A bit too much. Fantasy, I recommend Bound e Of Blood and Ashes. And horror or suspense, Billy summers".
Timna Cerqueira, from @leitura.motivada: “Look, there are a lot of incredible books. I would recommend the short stories. I highly recommend Before the Green Ball by Lygia Fagundes Telles. Among the classics, there is The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka; of contemporaries, Everything is Rio by Carla Madeira. For those who like poetic prose, I would recommend João Anzanello Carrascoza's books. But as you navigate this world of books, you will get to know yourself better and understand what you like and what you don’t like.”

Marilene Bispo, from @leiturasdamarilene: “I'm waiting for a book by Colleen Hoover and North Stars".
Timna Cerqueira, from @leitura.motivada: “I always keep an eye on news from Antofágica, because I like their work. But there are two authors that I have my eye on if they will release books this year: Aline Bei and Carla Madeira, two Brazilians that I really enjoy reading.”
