Working Out What To Read Next

Do you ever have problems working out what you’re going to read next?

I must admit to being a bit “naughty” in that I don’t necessarily read in strict chronological order from my always large To Be Read pile, whether is the old school print pile or the electronic one on my Kindle!

I don’t if I’m reading a series. I’ll just follow on.

When not doing that, I will go by my mood. If I’ve just enjoyed a crime story, I may well read another one straight off the back of the first one.

However, I never read more two books in a row in the same genre. After two, I want to ring the changes a bit.

At the moment, I’m on my second non-fiction book in a row so when I come to the end of that, I will go for fiction again. I’ve not decided yet what the genre will be.

In between novels, I will read short story and flash collections before resuming novel reading again. Then it will come full circle and I will be back to the non-fiction.

I am keen to make sure I have a good balance of reading material and like to mix up classic and contemporary here as well. Why limit your reading after all?
