Summer's almost here, though it feels like it already arrived here in NYC, so I thought I'd do a book meme to cover the season.
1. Do you have seasonal reading habits, ie: read different types of books in the summer than the rest of the year?
2. Do you read one book at a time or do you have two or more books going at once?
3. Do you read anywhere and anytime you can or do you have a set reading time and/or reading place?
As always, leave your answers in the comments or leave a link to where you've posted your answers. I'll get mine up by the weekend.
My blog is currently offline while we wait for the new domain to get set up, so I'll answer here.
ReplyDelete1. I don't think I have different reading habits in the summer. I'm a stay at home mom and my kids are too young for school, so my life isn't terribly different in the summer. Just warmer.
2. I generally read 1 book at a time. In fact, it's a sign of general chaos in my life if I'm reading more than one. I don't count Don Quixote, though. Since I'm only reading a chapter or 2 at a time, and it's going to take all year.
3. I read whenever I can. There's a book in my bag for when I find myself waiting for someone. And a book at home. I read while I'm waiting for dinner to cook. I often (blush) read while I eat. But last night, I did wait for my husband to start reading first, before I opened my book. I always read in bed before I fall asleep.

ReplyDeleteMine's up as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
1. I don't read different books in the summer, but I do read different books on vacation. I read so quickly, that I prefer paperback books with lots of pages so that I don't have to carry too many. I also tend to read high-action/excitement, low intellect books on vacation!
ReplyDelete2. I always have more than one book going. There's the book that is on my desk at work (usually children's or young adult off of some recommended list); the book I read in my sitting area at home when time permits; the audiobook I take to bed with me; and the reference books by my computer. Oh yes, then there's the magazine in the bathroom. My husband caught me reading the milk carton the other day while I was wandering around the kitchen making breakfast.
3. Despite the list above, I actually read less than I used to. I primarily read (for professional purposes) during quiet times at work, on the weekends, and non-stop on vacation. I listen to audiobooks before going to sleep at night and sometimes for a while when I wake up way too early in the morning.
Hi, Loft Lady,
ReplyDeleteI read magazines in the bathroom, too. Usually Newsweek.
Thanks for playing.
