Booking Through Thursday – Rolling
Posted on November 29, 2007 in Books
Do you get on a roll when you read, so that one book leads to the next, which leads to the next, and so on and so on?
I don’t so much mean something like reading a series from beginning to end, but, say, a string of books that all take place in Paris. Or that have anthropologists as the main character. Or were written in the same year. Something like that… Something that strings them together in your head, and yet, otherwise could be different genres, different authors… – BTT
Well, I’ve done the whole reading a series thing, by the same author thing, but theme wise, I’m not too sure. I also read the same genre quite a bit as I go through stints where I’ll read a lot of food books, memoirs, or travel books in a small time period. I think I have read a couple books about Paris on a roll before. If I look really hard at my book lists in previous years, I could probably find some more themes. In general, I usually read books as they come to me on request from the library or lent by friends, etc.
I go back and forth. Sometimes I go on author/genre/topic kicks, but I have a short attention span and am rather random & varied in my tastes, so those themes don’t last for long!
I have been doing a lot of reading challenges to keep me on a roll. Happy BTT.
pussreboots: You are correct. I forgot to mention how all the reading challenges keep me on themes/roll.
