Reading Preferences
My reading preferences depend on what mood I'm in. I will go through a spate of only wanting to read humorous prose, then go through another where I'm on a diet of crime stories, before moving on again.
I often find the spark for moving on to a different genre for a while will come from something I've read in a writing magazine. An interview with an author can lead me to checking their work out but also going on to read more in their genre once I've read their book.
One thing I will try and do better on during this year is posting reviews. I do appreciate receiving reviews myself. It's remembering to post them that's the issue and not just for me I suspect.
As for where I prefer to read, that's easy enough - in bed at the end of the day. It's the perfect way to relax before sleeping.
Do I ever dream about what I've read? Not usually though I occasionally get strange dreams where it's clear something of what I've read has seeped in. The problem with those kind of dreams is they are disjointed and I'm not sorry I can't remember them!
My overall reading preference is to keep on reading widely and well. I'd like to read more non-fiction this year too. Have you set any reading goals this year?
