The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

20.6 Seasoned Reader - Heather KS's task: Summer Reading
Reading is a big part of all of my other summer activities. For this task, read a book while doing your favorite summer activities. For example, float in the pool and read, read at a little league game (just do like me and look up when your son is batting!), read on a fishing trip, read while hanging out in the backyard, read (or listen) to a book in the car. You do not have to finish the book in one sitting, and you can combine places to finish the book.
Required: Post the place(s) or activities where you read.

For those of you who are not in the summer season, feel free to pick a leisure activity that you enjoy in your current season. Read while also doing that favorite seasonal activity.

This thread is now open for questions.

ooo fun! love this task!! I always listen to audiobooks while quilting!!! PERFECT!!

Bless you for such a wonderful task! Most any book I read this summer will qualify.

I'm a school teacher, and my favorite activity is to be able to be home, in my cozy chair, and read without interruption. Does this count as my favorite thing to do during the summer?

What about those of us who are in the middle of winter? Some summer activities may not be possible.

Yay! Looks like I will have to make time to either lay in bed and read, sit out in the sun and read, or pretty much anything that involves relaxing and reading. Some of my other favorite activities involve too much action, like amusement parks and going to baseball games and going out to eat.

So any book I read on our annual summer visit to our families will work, right?

Kathy G. me, too! I consider sitting in my comfy chair one of my favorite ways to recharge in the summer!

Gayla, yes that would work.

Coralie, hmmm look at me thinking about my own little world! I would say that if you are not in a summery season, read while doing a leisure activity that fits your season (read on a car trip, read by the fireplace, sit outside and enjoy the cool weather while reading).

works for me...lol! relaxing in the backyard, chilling at the dog park

I too am in the midst of winter, presently wearing sweaters and gloves, so I'm not quite sure how to go about this goal, because it's cold outside!

I like listening to audio books while I run (which I love to do in the summertime), so this is perfect!

Katrina, what is a leisure activity you love to do in the winter? You could read while doing one of those (like snuggled up in a blanket, sitting by the fire, staying in a nice warm bed).

My absolutely favorite thing to do when reading is to go to starbucks. In the winter it's a hot latte, and in summer it's a frap. I'll spend hours reading at Starbucks. Will this work?

That sounds great, Amanda! Enjoy!

Snuggled up in bed is definitely one. Glad I don't have to do some summer activities :)

Makes me think of the Polar Bear Club, when we lived in Boston - the rather elderly gentlemen who would take a plunge in the ocean in January!

Yay! I was a little bit concerned because weather is going to be really cold really soon!

I'll be snuggling up in bed with my warm quilt ;)

And I'll be reading in my pool while it is 105 degrees out! :)
