“I couldn’t sleep a wink, so I just read and read, day and night … it was there I began to divide books into day books and night books,” she went on. “Really, there are books meant for daytime reading and books that can be read only at night.”Do you divide your books into day and night reads? How do you decide?

In truth, I had never thought of doing this before. And in reading through the responses I was fascinated that there were actually people who this! I will sometimes be in the middle of multiple books at the same time and read whichever one happens to be closest to me at the time, but I had never considered having specific books for nighttime and daytime.
Although I do have very specific opinions about what music and songs are OK to listen to in the winter, and which ones are suitable for summer. ;o)
What about you? Do you divide your books into "read by day" and "read by night"?
I don't divide my books by day or night. Here is my answer for Booking Through Thursday.
ReplyDeleteNever thought about dividing my music between summer & winter. Very interesting! I didn't think I divided my books, but after giving it some thought I realized that I did tend to stay away from certain books at night. I'm a wimp & don't do scary at night since I divorced.
ReplyDelete@ebony - I remember the first time I read The Stand by Stephen King, I stayed up reading until about 3am one Friday night. It was a very warm summer and the sliding glass door was open for air, and when I got ready to go to bed I refused to go anywhere near that open door to close it - I was THAT freaked out! The next morning my roommates couldn't figure out why the door was wide open...
