I have some chess books and i enjoy reading them but when it comes to practice i forget and maybe even lose games,its hard to remember what i read,are there any tips?

First, it's about practice. The more you practice, the more you can remember and play moves. I can't recall the name but I read about some platform that allows playing quizzes and other practical tools to practice moves that you learn and thus, remember in the long term.

Chess books are for business and not meant to teach chess in that sense and you rarely come across anyone who has become very good at chess with books. Chess coaches can make all the good difference though!

You can supplement your knowledge gained from books by solving puzzles to familiarize yourself with different chess patterns that you can apply in your game. Also, Play as many games as you can.

1. Assuming that you feel the lesson from the book you’re struggling with is unique and valuable, re-read the book one more time. Kasparov’s last series of books tend to do this to anyone less than GM level. 
2. Pick up a different title with the same/similar lesson/motiff and see if you remember the presentation by a different author/teacher/instructor. Thank capitalism for this option.
