I've always done this in my head, but, like you, wasn't as likely to follow through.<br /><br />I agree that Dickens and the Russians are perfect winter reads. Maybe I will put Doctor Zhivago on my shelf for next winter. I've always wanted to read that. I've also been wanting to read the Forsyte Saga and have a bindup of those books; haven't read any of them yet. So many books to read, right?Terri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-24474091568746962652014-01-27T10:48:22.202-08:002014-01-27T10:48:22.202-08:00Oh good!

The over thing I tend do, almost unconsciously, is long to eat whatever food comes from the book I'm reading. For example, I cannot read of India without wanting samosas and byriani (sp?) or Japan with Ramen soup or soba noodles. It's so weird! :)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-519277710766959392014-01-27T06:06:00.885-08:002014-01-27T06:06:00.885-08:00I tend to create season shelves in my mind, but wo...I tend to create season shelves in my mind, but would be more likely to follow through if I put them in an actual pile. Dickens and the Russians are perfect for winter.<br /><br /> I also enjoy classic family sagas this time of year and recently downloaded the complete Forsyte Saga. It's been several years since I read the first 3 novels and 2 interlude, so a quick may be in order before continuing.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-68882876395707237872014-01-27T05:47:35.085-08:002014-01-27T05:47:35.085-08:00My next book is set in New Orleans, so it ought to...My next book is set in New Orleans, so it ought to be hot and muggy there.

Maybe you need a book set in a place with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and drinks served beachside with little umbrellas right about now? ;)Terri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-64862050603270761682014-01-26T15:30:37.540-08:002014-01-26T15:30:37.540-08:00I don't set up reading seasonally, although so...I don't set up reading seasonally, although sometimes I don't want to read a book about a certain season if it's a particularly bad season. For example, I'm not that much into reading about winter right now as cold as it has been, so if there's a mystery set in Alaska, I probably won't read that.Bryan G.
