Even though we're halfway through fall, I recently read The Summer I Turned Pretty, something I'd been waiting to read for some time now. It fit the prompt for this month, YA romance. In this post from June, I mentioned reading summer-themed books in seasons other than summer, mostly in winter. As I said then, reading "out of season" can be fun. The book I'm currently reading also has a summer theme, evidenced by the cover alone.
This blogger asked how much impact the seasons have on your reading. I can read any genre at any time of the year, though I tend to read spooky stories mostly in October, and Christmas/holiday/winter stories mainly in December (though I did read 19th Christmas in July one year, as I have been working on that series, and that was the one I hadn't yet read up to that point). And I can't recall reading a summer-themed in a season other than summer itself or in winter, as I've said already. In general, I just read what I feel like, when I feel like it, but will try to find some that fit a particular season.
Do you read by season? Do the seasons impact what genre you read during each one?
I think I read a lot more in the winter as in the summer I am outside and busy. I also watch a lot more tv in the winter.
ReplyDeleteI do read by seasons, somewhat. I'll read a mystery anytime, no matter what the season, but I definitely like spookier books in the fall and outdoor books in the spring and summer. Or beach books. You get it I'm sure. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteAs you already know, I'm definitely a "seasonal reader." Cute romance books are my summer reads, while mysteries and spooky books are reserved for fall. Although, I can read sci-fi at any time, probably because it's my fave genre and it brings me joy any time of year 😀
ReplyDeleteSince I read nonfiction sparingly the seasons don't affect what I read. Often I am catching up on books that I have intended to read for a while, but life gets in the way!
