Make Money Out of Your Passion for Reading

What is the first thing you tend to focus on when you pick a book off the shelf?

For me, it’s the cover page of a book. As a reader, I never fail to appreciate beautiful books. I find such books fascinating and even more, I feel motivated to finish reading them quickly.
