This one is for all of my book-loving friends out there!
I read voraciously, about 175 books a year. If you love books, what's your reading style? Are you a grazer, or a binger? That is, do you read a bit of this and a bit of that, moving from author to author and subject to subject, grazing along taking it all in, or do you dive headfirst into an author, series or subject, reading everything your chosen author has written, an entire series from start to finish, or everything you can find about a particular subject?
I'm a hard-core binge reader. I'll collect an entire series, or all of a favorite author's works (or all of them I am interested in), and dive in. I love cozy mysteries, and I find that binging allows me to totally immerse myself in that world and take in the entire world in a very organic way. Now, of course, there are more than a handful of series that I have except for the very newest books, so those are read as singletons. And I'll take short breaks inbetween long series to read a few old favorites...clearing the palate, as it were. For instance, I'm currently on #14 of the Tea Shop Mystery series. Five more to go, I'll then read 3-4 Mary Stewarts, then dive into the ENTIRE Mrs. Murphy series, complete, read a few more Stewarts, then start on "The Cat Who" series...
HAPPY READING!
