What are your thoughts on reading atmospheric books out of “season?” For example I’m listening to the audiobook “Four weekends and a funeral.” The book is VERY Christmassy and it was 70 degrees where I’m at today.

I feel like I'm breaking the rules when I read a book out of it's "season."

Didn't realize until about 2 hours into this audiobook that it's very clearly a Christmas rom com.

But I'm this far in and it was a long hold on Libby. I just feel like I'm doing something wrong reading it in balmy May

I wouldn't normally notice the season in a book if it's a reference to the weather here or there, but we've had multiple references to Christmas songs, multiple nods to Mariah Carey, a kids Christmas school concert and snow on the ground AND the main female character making allegorical jokes to Hallmark movies. Kind of slaps you in the face with the atmosphere. Which I'm not complaining but this book doesn't let me forget what season we're in.

I'm mainly a library reader and I am only able to follow the winds and the whims of the library holds and my mood.

I had a few books I'm reading right now and needed a light audiobook, put this book and some others higher up on my holds, this one came up first and here we are.

Despite feeling like I'm sneaking cookies after midnight, it's been a delightful read.

Do you read a book regardless of the season or do you have books slated for specific sessions or a combo?
