Wicked Wednesday: Relaxing with a New Release

Edith/Maddie here, basking in release week north of Boston.

As we’ve been hearing for the last two days, the Wickeds are rich in releases this week!

Wickeds, when you have a riches of new books in front of you, how do you choose which to read first? Feel free to plead the Fifth.

Julie: Congratulations to Cate, Maddie and Barb! What an embarrassment of riches for us all. The books are all on my Kindle, and I have a lot of traveling over the next few weeks, so lots of time to indulge. Which one first? I plead the 5th!

Sherry: What a happy problem! Congratulations, ladies! I can’t wait to read them! I’m a very in-the-moment person when choosing what to read next. I like to balance something dark with something lighter.

Barb: New releases from old favorites first. Experiments, recommendations from others, and impulse purchases second.

Liz: Thanks!! I also go by mood, but also by old favorites. If I try to plan my reading, plans usually change at the last minute because I inevitably find I’m in the mood for something else.

Jessie: Congratulations to you all! I totally chose by my mood, whether the books on my shelf are new releases or old friends.

Edith/Maddie: Thanks, all! I’m with Barb – new releases from favorite authors first, then recommendations and maybe some non-fiction.

Readers: How do you decide which of several books to pick up first?
