===============================================
This week’s musing asks…
How often do you read a book, just because you’re in the mood to read it? (not because you’re obligated to for a book club, or a challenge, or for review)
I use to read so many books just because. I guess it's one of the things I need to get back to; reading just because I'm in the mood. I do enjoy books when I read them, but there is a different element of enjoyment when you're reading books just because with no intent on doing a review. I miss that. So I would say maybe once a month I'll read a novel because I'm in the mood. Now with non-fiction, I likely read once a week just because I'm in the mood.

ReplyDeleteI don’t obligate myself to reading something unless I am in the mood for it. Check out my answer for this weeks Monday Musing.
It is true, reading a book just because is different to reading one for review.

Only read books I'm interested in, even the few review copies I've done, are of books I was interested in. This weeks new additions to my TBR are A book of German poetry, a book on Borges by Alberto Manguel & a win from Bellezza Inspector Imanishi Investigates by Seicho Matsumoto.
ReplyDeleteyes, knowing you have to write a review does effect your attitude toward a book..and not in a good way usually.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten a poetry book in so long. I've been meaning to get that Jill Scott one forever now.
ReplyDeleteI try to take my time with a book, for review or not. I TRY. It doesn't mean I am always successful. Nice meme btw!
ReplyDeleteAll of the title you picked up are new to me! Hope they're good ones! Thanks for stopping by today :)
ReplyDeleteLately, I've been trying to read more books based on my mood and not let my review calendar dictate when I should be reading what. It feels liberating. I guess I will return to review mode soon, but for now, I like to enjoy this little freedom.
ReplyDeleteWith a husband, children, and a house--I don't know how you do it, Lena! But I'm glad you're enjoying yourself (usually!)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, my dear!!
Looks like you got some great books..enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou've had a full mailbox this week!
