Booking Through Thursday - Mood Reading

Labels:

This week's question...

Do you find that your mood affects the things you read? Like, if you’re in a bad mood, do you tend to indulge in reading that will support it or do you try to read things that will cheer you up? Do you pick different types of books on dreary, rainy days than you do on bright sunny ones?

For that matter, does your mood color what you’re reading, so that a funny book isn’t so funny or a serious one not so deep?

My answer...

If I'm in a bad mood, I generally can't concentrate on anything. I simply don't feel like reading. Once in a while I might try reading a light romance or chick lit or something like that and it will snap me out of a bad mood. More often than not, I just don't feel like reading.

I'm definitely a moody reader.

    I am the exact same way! I was actually scared that I was the only one who can't read when sad or in a bad mood!

    I think that I tend to be more scattered in my reading when depressed or anxious...but there are some choices that can take me out of myself.

    BTW...love today's cat!

    Here's MY BTT POST and

    Mood doesn't influence my reading.

    Me, too: If I'm really upset, I can't read, either. I have to be relaxed enough, or "in a good place" emotionally, to read.

    I love reading chic lit when I'm in a bad mood, it almost always snaps me out of whatever funk I'm in. Though, sometimes it worsens my mood and I'm left comparing myself to the heroine and generally just being whiny. D:

    Also...the kitties on your blog = love.

    Yes my mood can play in, but then I just go for something else

    Me, too. If I try to read when I'm upset or not feeling well, it doesn't really make me feel better and I usually don't remember any of it anyway.

    I'm a moody reader, too. I used to read something light when I was in a bad mood, but lately I just don't feel like reading in that case.
