The changing leaves and Halloween mark the fall season -- and for me, the start of reading season. During the summer, I spend so much time outside, either working in the yard or riding a bike, that books pile up all around the house. (I know, I know. I shouldn't bother collecting the books if I'm not going to read them. But I can't hold back.)
Judging by comments from a recent Freebie Friday, I'm not the only reader who warms up when the weather cools.
For some, including Dahlink and Eve, reading is a constant. As Eve said, "During the humid summer, when any movement makes me sweat, I curl up with a book. When it's cold and dark by the time that I get home at night, I curl up with my book."
But others wait for the cool weather. "My winter reading usually gets heavier -- that is books that are a little deeper and usually fatter," Suzanne said. Michelle added, "Nothing better than curling up under a warm blanket in bed or in a favorite chair and reading, especially if the weather outside is horrible! I just need a fireplace..."
Only Kathy admitted to a fall distraction: Virginia Tech football. "I love it, even though the Hokies aren't having their best season ever," she said.
