| Beach at Trouville by Claude Monet |
Ah, this is the first week of summer although here in DC, it's felt like summer for a few weeks now (ugh, humidity). When it comes to summer, I've noticed that my reading tastes change. I stop having patience for difficult reads. I want something light and fun. I know the term "beach reads" gets a bad rap but that's exactly the sort of thing that I find myself yearning to read. Fall and Winter seem to be the seasons that I can get in the mood to read heavy topics.
Do your reading tastes change with the seasons?
I have exactly the same response! I start to read much lighter fare in the summer...could it be the sweltering heat??
ReplyDeleteI have been reading lighter, funner reads too. With all my kids home from school now it is too hard to read something difficult!
ReplyDeleteI try to put in an effort to alternate the classics with new releases and switch up the genres all year. Sometimes, though, all I want is some good chick lit during the summer!
ReplyDeletel am finding l want to read more lighter books as the weather gets nicer but l still like my darker ones! =)
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing as Treesandink. I try to alternate between classics and new stuff. Althought, I have a really had time reading anything that is about Christmas when it is not close to Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMy tastes don't necessarily change. I find myself reading the same genres/types of stories that I normally would. However, I find that the length of the books I choose definitely change during the summer. I don't really like to read really long books once the weather becomes nicer. I don't feel like I have the time to devote to 600+ pages without wanting to change it up.
