Goodreads asked Geri Schear:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Geri Schear I've never understood this question. It implies that people read only when they're on a beach. Don't these people travel on buses and trains? Don't they have doctor's appointments? Insomnia? How do they cope then without a book to sustain them?

I don't save books just for the summer. Who has that sort of patience? I also don't read 'fluff', as a rule, not even during the summer. Then again, my idea of summer doesn't usually include lying in the sun. I'd rather explore an old castle and get an idea for a new story. Or do research in London at the British Library or poking around unfamiliar streets.

Reading: It's not just for summer! Pass it on!
