Escaping into a book has always been a way for me to deal with stress. Yes, I think you are exactly right, we read what we need to read.<br /><br /><b>Bookfool</b> - I've gotten several ARCs out of the way, but need to get back to the library because I need to have a list of books I'm looking for.<br /><br />It's summer! Have patience with yourself on the "need" to read books and have fun with the "want" to read books.<br /><br /><b>Iliana</b> - Maybe the condition of the world is influencing the need for escape literature. I'm mostly drawn to mysteries and thrillers, myself right now!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-4558206851550979122010-06-19T19:41:28.827-05:002010-06-19T19:41:28.827-05:00Yay, congrats on finishing your challenge. I feel ...Yay, congrats on finishing your challenge. I feel like my reading hasn't been as broad this year. I'm pretty much just reading fiction and mysteries. I love them of course but I really am missing out on graphic novels, non-fiction, etc. Ah well, let's see how the rest of the year pans out.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-992846004254791392010-06-19T19:22:30.712-05:002010-06-19T19:22:30.712-05:00I've been kind of in an escape-reading mood, t...I've been kind of in an escape-reading mood, too, although I've fallen so dreadfully far behind on books I "need" to read (ARCs) that I kind of need to focus. <br /><br />I can't possibly comment on everything I've missed in the last couple of weeks, but I went directly to your review of The Magicians to see what you thought, since I walked past it in Borders and wondered if it was any good. "Depressing" books are the kind I most diligently avoid, so thanks for the forewarning.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-14703603136058992742010-06-19T13:23:50.376-05:002010-06-19T13:23:50.376-05:00It's kind of funny how reading tastes can chan...It's kind of funny how reading tastes can change from time to time. Lately, real life has presented so many challenges to me that I find myself reading more escape fiction than I have in a long time - and very little nonfiction compared to the last few years. I suppose we read what we need to read.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.com
