    The setting of The Great Alone intrigued me. Alaska's cold climate is so harsh yet it sounds beautiful. I hate cold weather so I'll probably never visit, but I almost wanted to plan a trip there. #Read4Fun

    A2) I don't think my reading habits really change in the winter from other times, except that hot tea is involved more often. #read4fun
  • Mrs_D_Reads Jan 20 @ 7:14 PM EST
    Q2: I love to snuggle up with a good book in the winter time, but I still consistently listen to audiobooks in the car during my commute! #Read4Fun
  • Dr_LMR - Moderator Jan 20 @ 7:15 PM EST
    I definitely read more PD books in the winter. I spend longer stretches of time indoors so I have more reading time. #Read4Fun

    YES! These are amazing. #read4fun

    A2 I definitely read more on a snow day but I am able to read much more in the summer than during school months. I am making much more progress this school year though than in past years! #Read4Fun
  • DrLMaucione Jan 20 @ 7:15 PM EST
    I feel the same way - I don't know what's taking me so long. I know it's packed up in a box somewhere. Checking out another copy from the library might be easier than finding it. #Read4Fun
    In reply to @ShelfieTalk
  • jk_bergstrom Jan 20 @ 7:15 PM EST
    A2: I #read everyday in the summer. I love to read on the deck with our dog. In the winter, I'm busier with school & church commitments and reading is more of a weekend pleasure. I pick up books from our local library each Friday night! #Read4Fun
  • Stella_Pollard Jan 20 @ 7:15 PM EST
    A2 : I have found I read the most during the summer. I'm always a frequent reader. #read4fun

    A2: Winter can be a time to catch up my TBR stack especially if I get snow days or school delays. #read4fun
  • ShelfieTalk Jan 20 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A2 Colder weather definitely leads to more inside time for reading, but I still try to listen to audiobooks while walking outside a few times a week. #read4fun
  • GreenReads4Fun Jan 20 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A2: My reading habits don’t really change in the winter, but I sure do enjoy curling up with a blanket, book, and cup of tea! #Read4Fun
  • DrLMaucione Jan 20 @ 7:17 PM EST
    I tend to read more mystery, suspense, psychological thrillers in winter. Maybe because there is more darkness, dark & creepy books seem appropriate. Just read As Long As We Both Shall Live, a twisty page-turner. Really good. #read4fun
  • Stella_Pollard Jan 20 @ 7:17 PM EST
    Same! Sometimes I change the tea for wine :-) #read4fun

    We read for the 1st 15 minutes of every class. Since I have 3 classes, I get a good 45 minutes in each day at school, then an hour or so at night. Been binging Alan Gratz: Grenade, Refugee, both great books! My 6th boys and girls loved them as well. #Read4Fun

  • susankotch Jan 20 @ 7:21 PM EST
    I can only listen to audiobooks if I am following along to a text version. Thus, on my kindle app, I buy the kindle version and add the audio. #read4fun @Dr_LMR
    • Dr_LMR - Moderator Jan 20 @ 7:16 PM EST

  • Dr_LMR - Moderator Jan 20 @ 7:22 PM EST
    A3 When snowed in, I look at it as found time to just read. Usually grab a few books to start. Or I buy a few magazines to get me through the storm. #Read4Fun
  • DrLMaucione Jan 20 @ 7:22 PM EST
    To prepare for an upcoming snow day of reading, I make sure I have at least a couple of good books to read. If it's a blizzard I make sure my kindle is fully charged and I have a book light handy. #Read4Fun
  • Dr_LMR - Moderator Jan 20 @ 7:22 PM EST
    That’s awesome! I try to get a little reading in before dinner and then a bigger chunk before bed. Not always but I try! #Read4Fun
    In reply to @susankotch
  • DrLMaucione Jan 20 @ 7:22 PM EST
    I love summer reading! It's definitely busier in winter, but I try to at least open a book before I fall asleep. Sometimes I can barely read a page, but it's something. #Read4Fun

    A2: My reading habits are definitely affected by the rhythm of the school year, but not necessarily by winter. Report card season, beginning/end of the year, busy times during my own professional coursework & family events all limit reading during the year. #read4fun
  • CHitch94 Jan 20 @ 7:22 PM EST
    A3) Definitely getting to the library before the snow happens or searching for ebooks online. :) #read4fun
  • DrLMaucione Jan 20 @ 7:22 PM EST
    I think reading time is the only thing that is good about a snow day (I am not a fan of snow at all!). #Read4Fun

    Went to the bookstore yesterday and it was mobbed! They called in extra workers so I guess many ‘stock up’ on books in addition to milk and bread! #Read4Fun

    Somehow I tend to keep reading the same types of book. So I joined a book club in town which has forced me to read books I wouldn't normally choose. Because of it, I've read some great ones, and some I didn't enjoy, but I've broadened my horizons for sure. #read4fun
  • lauramossa Jan 20 @ 7:24 PM EST
    Reading during the school year definitely is trickier. I try to get to bed a little earlier and silence my phone so I can devote time to read nightly without distractions. #read4fun

    A3: So many #books, so little time! My TBR pile is always massive. I don't have to plan for a snow day...my stacks are always here waiting for me! #Read4Fun

    Educated is great, but some parts were difficult to read. #Read4Fun

    Yes! Break up with books that aren’t working for you and move on! #Read4Fun

    I do the same! If I don't read at least a little, I feel broken :-) #Read4Fun

    If I had to shovel it or drive in snow, I’d feel differently. #read4fun

    A3 I get ready for snowstorm reading by stocking up on books and snacks, charging my devices, and putting batteries in my book light in case the power goes out. #read4fun
  • DrLMaucione Jan 20 @ 7:27 PM EST
    Being able to get a book without going out is definitely a plus of reading digitally. #Read4Fun

    I spent the morning under a cozy blanket, sipping hot tea, and finishing The Prophet Calls by @melaniesumrow. I devoured it in a day and a half. Best way to #Read4Fun!
