Booking Through Thursday

1. Does what you read vary by the season? For instance, Do you read different kinds of books in the summer than the winter? Reply here


2. If so, do you break it down by genre, length of book, or...?
   What I read depends on the seasons of my life. Last week was a hard week, so I put down the heavy book I was reading and read Full Blast by Janet Evanovich, just to relax and loosen up. I like to read light mysteries and chick lit when I'm feeling stressed and just want to not think or get too caught up in a difficult storyline. this is also when I read my organizing type books.
   A couple of weeks ago I was feeling very spiritual, so I read The Power of a Praying Nation by Stormie Omartian and Never Alone by Fr. Grizone (I think I misspelled his last name).
   I am kid free right now, so I can afford to block out the noise around me and get wrapped up in a good story so I'm reading The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury. I leave the more involved mysteries or can't put down thrillers for when my kids aren't home and I can really get into the book.
   I carry classics in my bag to read on the bus, while waiting at the doctor, etc. It forces me to read them a bit at a time because I want to read them slowly and more carefully so I can appreciate why they are considered classics.
