I woke up today and it took me a while to realize that it is Thursday again! Time does fly. And it being Thursday means that it is time for Booking Through Thursday:
Do your reading habits change in the Spring? Do you read gardening books? Even if you don’t have a garden? More light fiction than during the Winter? Less? Travel books? Light paperbacks you can stick in a knapsack?
Or do you pretty much read the same kinds of things in the Spring as you do the rest of the year?
Honestly, the books don't really change for me based on the season. The only change that comes over me is the location of the reading. There is a river not far from my house and I can take a short bike ride to a nice little pavilion that looks out on to the water. During the spring and summer, that becomes a very common place for me to read. If I don't want to go all the way out to the river, my back porch is great with the garden in the backyard to look upon. It makes me love the spring even more!

That setting sounds lovely - I love pavillions (or gazebos).
Mmmm — that riverside pavilion sounds okay!
That would be fatal for me; I would sit and watch the water all day long and get absolutely no reading done at all.
That sounds lovely =) I love reading in the sun but I tend to daydream or doze...
Thanks for dropping by my blog. I read Twilight without any knowledge of the teeny-boppers (or the middle-aged moms who love it too) so I pretty much fell in love with it on my own without outside influence. I'm not saying that I'm sure you'd love it too though (haha) because you might not, but you can give it a try. The language is really light and the concept is really for teeny-boppers, but it's an enjoyable read.
I think a pavilion that looks out on to the water is one of the most perfect places to sit down with a book! Your answer makes me wish we had spring here too ^_^
I think there's not a lot to beat sitting in a beautiful place enjoying the view and reading and that pavilion sounds perfect. And in winter is great to sit inside all cosy and warm, reading.
The river sounds like a great place to read. Location is about the only thing seasons influence for me too.
You are lucky to have such nice surroundings! I can bike to a beach near my house but the wind of Lake Ontario is pretty chilly this time of year.
As for recommended reading in French, I wouldn't really know where to start but one of my all-time classic favorites that you should be able to buy from any good university bookstore is Voltaire's Candide. You can't beat it for funny and philosophical. Regalez vous.
