Today’s prompt:
Do your reading habits change in the Spring? Do you read gardening books? Even if you don’t have a garden? More light fiction than during the Winter? Less? Travel books? Light paperbacks you can stick in a knapsack?
Or do you pretty much read the same kinds of things in the Spring as you do the rest of the year?
I haven’t yet determined exactly the cause of my reading habits. For the most part, I think, I generally read the same kinds of things in the spring as I do in the rest of the year. I’m not a gardener (blackest thumb, though I try occasionally), so no new spring reading there. (Also, I’ve noticed that my gardening acquaintances tend to read about gardening in the winter. They pick seeds out of catalog’s and whatnot.) Anyhow, as a fiction aficionado, I have noticed more of a willingness to try out the nonfiction in the winter. Also, I probably give in to some more “beach reads” in the spring/summer—probably more as a result of the excellent marketing on the part of my local bookstores than my shifting moods.

Hadn’t really thought about it, but I guess book store marketing probably has a big influence on my reading habits, too. I really should stay out of those places!
I don’t think I really change what I read by season. I’m too much of a mood reader for that.
Happy Thursday!
