Why You Should Accept the Reading Outside Your Comfort Zone Challenge
Reading outside your preferred genre exposes you to new ideas and ways of thinking.
Expand Your Mind When you read books outside your typical genre, you challenge yourself by exposing yourself to new concepts and subjects you may not encounter otherwise. Reading a wider range of books helps create connections between ideas you may never have considered before. You’ll gain new perspectives that you can apply to your everyday life.
Discover New Interests
You may stumble upon a new genre that sparks your interest and passion. Reading broadly allows you to tap into interests you never knew you had. You could find a new favorite book that inspires you in unexpected ways. Expanding beyond your go-to genres could reveal hidden interests and talents.
Improve Your Reading Skills
Reading a variety of genres exercises your reading skills in new ways. Each genre has its conventions, vocabulary, and styles. Exposure to more genres will make you a faster, more versatile reader. You’ll get better at analyzing literature and understanding how authors use language to create different effects. These enhanced skills will benefit you no matter what you read.
So challenge yourself to dive into a new genre this month. Pick up a mystery novel, read a biography of someone who inspires you, delve into historical fiction, or explore an award-winning science fiction series. You have a whole world of books to discover outside your reading comfort zone. Read on and let us know what new genres you fall in love with! Share your experiences on social media using the hashtag #readingchallenge. We can’t wait to see where your reading adventures take you.
How to Pick Genres to Explore on Weltbild
Step out of your comfort zone
The only way to expand your mind is by branching out from your usual tastes. Maybe you’re a die-hard romance or sci-fi fan – that’s great, but now it’s time to dive into other genres. Historical fiction, memoirs, cookbooks, whatever catches your eye. The options on Weltbild are endless.
Ask for recommendations
Connect with fellow book lovers on Weltbild’s social channels and ask them for genre suggestions based on books you already enjoy. They may point you to a thriller author you’ve never read or a quirky coming-of-age story. You never know what hidden gems are out there waiting to be discovered!
Set a challenge
Challenge yourself to read one book per week in a new genre for a month. Document your journey on social media to share recommendations, and thoughts, and encourage others. By the end of the month, you’ll have explored four new genres and found new favorites. What an accomplishment!
Don’t be afraid to not finish
Give each new genre a fair chance, but don’t feel obligated to finish a book if you’re not enjoying it. Life’s too short to waste time on books you don’t connect with. Simply move on to the next new genre – there are so many to choose from, and you’re bound to find one that sparks your interest.
The key to expanding your reading horizons is simply taking that first step outside your comfort zone. Weltbild’s wide range of genres, recommendations, and community support make it easy to discover new reading adventures. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to start your ultimate reading challenge!
