  1. Think of a subject or what you want your book to be about
  2. Decide if you would like fiction or non fiction
  3. Look for a special title
  4. Look for an author friend you know
  5. Share books with your friends and listen to what they say about their books
  6. Look at library displays
  7. Get up your courage and try something new
  8. Use a booklist
  9. Choose an award list
  10. Take the teacher's or media specialist recommendation

Take the five finger test!

Choose a page near the middle of the book. If you miss more than five words the book is probably too difficult for you.
