No matter how I try and just can't enjoy audiobooks...

I love the questions about whether or not your reading life habits change in the summer, Gayla -- my answer is no, not really 😊 I'd love to hear from other folks on this topic!

Any book I read in the summer is considered summer reading! Similarly, any book I bring to the beach is a beach read! I’m not a seasonal reader it seems! Sadly, I don’t have an indie store near me any more. The best audio book I’ve read lately is Project Hail Mary….but I think it’s exclusively on Audible. Can you access that through Libro?

One of my great pleasures is sitting outside and reading on my 11 year old kindle. I read copywriting and marketing non fiction, as well as the occasional Elmore Leonard (crime - comedy - thriller). Thanks for asking!

I live in the land of perpetual summer, so my reading habits don’t change much with the seasons. If anything, it’s the political weather and daily news that affect my reading most. The darker that becomes, the more I crave escapist reading fare--like comfort food! Good question!

Interesting about summer reading! I also read heavier stuff in the summer because I have more mental bandwidth and energy to tackle nonfiction and more serious reads. But a giant novel for the beach is also great - the last time I read on the beach I sat under an umbrella devouring Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch. A great novel is also essential to a long-haul flight, I'd be interested in hearing anyone's favorite long-haul-flight reads!
