The winter months provide us with a plethora of hobbies to choose from. Like many people, my favorite winter hobby is reading. Nothing is more enjoyable that curling up in a warm blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and a wonderful book.
When I am looking for a book to read, I start by analyzing my mood. Feeling adventurous? An action novel is sure to thrill you. Does the snow falling gently outside your window have you in romantic mood? Reach for romantic comedy to supply you a nice balance of love and laughter. There is a book out there for every mood.
I am currently reading Let it Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle. This book is part of the winter reading challenge I am participating in this season. Reading challenges are an exciting way to connect with others who share your love for reading and to further cultivate your own fondness for the written word. These challenges come in a variety of themes; there is sure to be an option for everyone! Not only are reading challenges great fun, they are also a source of free books! Many challenges reward winners with new books, a terrific prize.
Winter is the perfect time to dive into a book since it is so chilly outside. Visit your local bookstore and stake out a new novel, or better yet, go to the library and borrow a book or two for free. Then, sit back with your book and relax.
