Summer, and the reading is easy

[Paul]

Summer holiday are upon us now. I have a small (ok, fairly large) pile of books that I want to read over the summer. There are loads of articles in the broadsheets like this with lists of recommendations on what to read and who is reading what:

What so people like to read on their holidays? Light fiction, heavy classics or if you're like me, work your way through your monumental backlog.

I'm a monumental backlog kinda guy. I've also been given some free books to review lately, when I've read a few more I might be able to see the sun again.

I seem to be reading the same stuff I'd pick up anytime. Maybe I read more big books than usual (long days in the sun are made for them), but other than that, I don't have any particular summer reading habits.
For this summer I have only one book related resolution: Read A Tale for the Time Being. I got this for my birthday in February, but I think this might be a good read for summer.

I find that, at the beginning of summer I lose focus and my reading slows down. However, once it becomes warm enough to sit in garden, I'm off on anything possible. I do like to work my way through the backlog but then find I feel more inclined to buy more. Must be the sun!

I definitely use the summertime to catch up on my huge tbr pile but I generally pick lighter reads for the summer. Going on hols next week and have a few on the kindle picked out to get through
