For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
My summer vacations started on the 1 May, 2009. As a rule, my reading habits do not change with the season. I read what interests me or on my mood which has nothing to do with summer. Maybe I read more books but this year that too has not worked for me. I am pretty much reading at the same pace as before. Summer times for me means more of sleeping hours. No, I get up early but I do take a siesta in the afternoons when it is too hot to do anything even read. I don't watch movies much. Yes, I like watching war movies but that has nothing to do with summer.
This year I have set myself to read more books on the WWI and WWII.
Summer time also means going out of Delhi for a short break. It depends where I visit. Sometimes the mountains, others the beaches. However, wherever I go I carry books. Assorted books.

My reading habits don't change for the summer, either.
My reading doesn't change either and I don't have any plans for travel this summer. My post is here.
Ah, my reading habits don't change either. What's the point? I read what I want when I want, season has nothing to do with it. Happy weekend!
Same as everyone, I read whatever I want, whenever. :D
I just read from my ever growing pile as well...
other than book challenges, nothing really changes.
E.H>
Mine don't really change either.
Happy Weekly Geeks :)
Oooh, to have the luxury of summer vacations.
My reading tends to remain the same as well, indifferent to the seasons, as they just tumble by.
Enjoy the summer!
Oh man I had no idea that people change their reading habits during the year. Year round I just read whatever catches my attention, trying my best to avoid library fines. That's about it!
I agree-books are essential whether you are at home or traveling. I hope you get to make some nice trips into the mountains and beaches this summer!
My summer reading tends to be on the heavier side. I like meatier books in general but I save summer for the epic novels that I am unable to get to during the rest of the year.
My reading habots might not change for the summer, but they do during vacation! I like to read one book (at least) that's related to my holiday destination. Also I like to pick thick pageturners.
I always treat myself to a few new books (together with Mr Gnoe honestly) for our summer vacation.
So what books on World War and II are you looking forward to reading?
