• Just pick up books that you are excited about.

• go look up books in your favourite genre.

• if you’re not yet super confident in reading English books try some YA.

I’m Dutch but read about 70 percent of my books in English. I prefer the original language when reading (if I speak that language off course). In the Netherlands Dutch books tend to be more expensive when bought new. So I hardly ever buy a Dutch book brand new. I either get them from secondhand bookstores or from the library. We have good accessibility to foreign books. So usually that’s where my money goes to.

Even books that are neither originally Dutch or English I will often get in English because of price and sometimes quality of the translation (bigger market so usually better translations - although not guaranteed).
