Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.
This week’s prompt:
It’s spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, so this week’s question is about seasonal reading. Does your reading change along with the seasons?
Let us know in the comments below or on your own blog.
Does your reading change with the seasons?
How to play:
- On your blog: Copy the question/image for your blog, answer it there, and post a quick comment here with a link or trackback to your post so we can read it.
- On social media: Copy the image, answer the prompt, and post a quick comment here with a link.
- Right here: Answer in the comments and start the discussion here. No need to have a blog to play.
Note: If it’s your first time here, your comment may end up in moderation. (My spam filter is aggressive.) I’ll be in after my writing sprints to set it free.
P.S. The prompt is always open, and you don’t have to play on Thursday. Comment whenever you like!

My reading does change, loosely, that is. Summers are for mysteries and suspense and thrillers. I mean, absolutely, I’ll read those any time of the year. But I love a good mystery in the summer.
Fall is for anything with a hint of the gothic around it. Throw in a little dark academia? Yes, please.
Winter is for all things historical, especially if they have a dual timeline.
As for spring? Hm. Spring is a time for trying new things and stepping outside my comfort zone.
So, there you have it. I am a seasonal reader.
Hmmm…. my reading tends to follow a “find what feels good” philosophy, and *maybe* that’s seasonal? There’s definitely a solid core of mystery, memoir, and novels in place, but I also follow recommendations from bloggers, magazines, mentions of books in articles, etc., and those can send me off on tangents that last for months. I am probably more willing to try something outside my normal range in summer and autumn; in the winter, I want froth and comfort.
