CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

Is it still October? It's still October. Phew. What is time anymore? I feel like the days are both flying by super fast and moving at a glacial pace. Anyone else feel like that? I am also waiting for fall to take full effect. These chilly nights and the random pattern of cold days have been nice, but I need it to be more consistent and less warm. Lol.

Fall obviously has its own vibes and associated images and activities. Which leads me to ask... do you participate in seasonal reading? By this, I mean do you pick your books based on what season it is? For example, since it's October, people are reading all the spooky books or books that make them think of fall. I've seen people pull out Christmas romance in December. We obviously have beach reads for the summer. The list could go on. Are there certain books you save for certain times of the year?

I am actually not much of a seasonal reader. This month will be a small exception just because I have Cemetery Boys (read it, it's great) and Mexican Gothic on my list. Both books fall under the "spooky" category. But I've really never been one to set aside certain books for certain times. I've read horror in the height of summer. I've picked up beach reads in the dead of winter. If I want to read it, I don't see why I should wait. And the turn of the weather doesn't affect my desire for one sort of genre over another.

Where do you fall on the scale of seasonal reading?

What is everyone reading this week? Anything good? I just finished Cemetery Boys which was great. I also finished Sorcery of Thorns which has been on my list since before summer of last year. I kept putting it off because I was nervous. But it was such a fun book and while I know I'll never get a sequel, I need a sequel.

Tell us about your current reads!

Right now I am reading too many college essays for my son during application season. Ha ha.
Seasonal reading is fun, but I don’t limit myself to reading those types of books just in season. Sometimes it’s fun to read a snowy, Christmas book in the hot summer.
Right now I am reading Borne by Jeff Vandarmeer. He wrote the Annihilation trilogy which I loved.
Enjoy the fall weather everyone!

I'm not much of a seasonal reader, I just read what looks good. I am still reading Tough Love, and Little Fires Everywhere. I recently read Get a Life, Chloe Brown, and am now also reading book 2; Take a Hint, Dani Brown (by Talia Hibbert). I also read the first two volumes of Avant- Guards. Is there a volume 3?

Not much of a seasonal reader, I just read the books on my very long list of books I would like to read in my lifetime. I just finished reading Burn by Patrick Ness and the Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons.

Hello. I am currently reading Edge of Eternity by Ken Follett and Ford County by John Grisham.

It really depends on what I am in the mood for. Sometimes a good seasonal book to read can help you enjoy a season, holiday, or event even more!
