Right now I am reading Silver Linings which is pretty good so far and coming up I want to read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and more. I start my Summer reads in May and end them in August.

Sounds amazing! :D My summer smells like books, books, and more books!
Its Autumn at the moment in Australia, Perth. Sometimes wet and cold days, sometimes sunny and cloudy (mostly cloudy).
Adding my voice to the chorus of people pointing out that it's winter in the southern hemisphere. Come on Goodreads, this is almost as insulting as the way all your times are given in some incomprehensible American time zones instead of something universal like UTC/GMT, or *gasp* regionalised based on geo-IP. I'd have thought that with Amazon backing you, you'd be better at this stuff by now.

Arelis wrote: "It's winter in Chile."Same thought, please globalize your platform ;)
Chilly winter is coming in Uruguay, make a winter challenge!
It's summer in Wisconsin USA :) which is fantastic bc our winters suck. We have three seasons in WI, Fall, Winter, and road construction lol.. But really, our winters get freezing cold with -30F and our summers get nice and hot with 80-90F but most days are a comfortable high 70's. I love mood reading, so when its fall the scary and fantasy books come out and in the summer I adore summer reads. But going into summer I've been super into scary books.
It's interesting knowing that everywhere in the world our seasons are different, and our time zones. One world, so many different things going on.
Umm... it's actually fall where I live. Winter (or summer, whatever) doesn't really start until a month from now...

It's winter in many places such as in country, Peru jajaja
I’ve been reading a few good books about Pokémon myself, and they’re really good, as well as very neat and helpful in keeping my brain as active and busy as possible, too. (From my perspective, I had no idea that Pokémon is such a phenomen in America — and to think that it all started in Japan, too.)
Arelis wrote: "It's winter in Chile."A very cold one, specially in the south.
Any good fantasy/sci-fi book set on an Ice Planet?BTW 44 degree Celsius in Nagpur, India

Honey, there is no "wrong" hemisphere.
Arelis wrote: "It's winter in Chile."Yes, in Argentina too. I feel we have to clarify it, because GoodReads is used by far more than just Americans

شكراً
Come on guys, try to be understanding: of course the Goodreads team knows it's winter in the Southern hemisphere - but honestly, when even the seasons become a controversial choice for a theme, what's left? (As someone who works managing content for a website, I feel for them)To those complaining they are not on holiday: join the club, I live in the Northern hemisphere and yet working throughout the summer (=next few months), as many others.
To those saying it's winter where they are: I live in Iceland, so even if here it's officially summer, it's never ACTUALLY summer.
That however doesn't mean I don't enjoy getting a reading list for the next few months. And if I want to get in the summer spirit, I guess I'll read more novels set in the French riviera or California ;-)
Peace.
I will start planning my summer reading! IN DECEMBER. Podemos dejar de creer que todo el planeta vive en el hemisferio norte? THANK YOU!
Am I the only one that see "go dreads" in the summer logo? I have to stop a second and go ... oh yeah! :)
So, now we know where everybody lives and what the climate is...What are you reading?
Arelis wrote: "It's winter in Chile."It is Winter in Mauritius too. But it is sunny lately....beach days
Very hot summer in Gujarat.... Gonna read some hot action novels in the month of June as the rains arrive and summer says bye bye...
wrong season for literally half the world, but hey
I would like to see everyone name one book title/author and give a line of opinion. Thanks!
We have about 300 sunny days per year in the Algarve (Portugal), so it's permanently summer week in here. ;)
I think this article means to say "summer in Europe and the North American continent", ie, the only geographical locations that actually count. The fact that it's hot and summery in countries closer to the equator all year round, or, in fact, winter in the southern hemisphere, doesn't matter, because, by God, it's summer for the white people that actually rule the f***ing world, so yay, let's call it "summer reading" because no one else can read anyway.

Hey! 38º Celsius here in Spain! Summer's finally come to us ;)
