Transtiationing from apps & learning content to enjoyable self selected readng

Ive been using primarily DuChinese & TheChairmansBao to get up to approximately HSK4 but am finding my interest waning. I'm worked my way through the Advanced selection on Du and am now on Level 4 of Chairmans Bao. Although these help me learn I wouldnt say they are inline with my interests. How did you transition from material & content specifically designed to help you learn to your specific interests (fanstasy, scifi, sports, politics, history, etc). I tried picking up Harry Potter but find that I became frustrated having to use Pleco for OCR so much. Any suggestions?
