Bout of Books Read-a-Thon: A Book for Every Season Challenge!
08.16.2012
By Zara D. Garcia-Alvarez / @ZaraAlexis
Thanks to Kristilyn at Reading in Winter for hosting this fun challenge! She’s asked participants to:
Name the perfect book for each season of the year! The book can either have the name of the season in the title, or — and this is the preferred way! — the book can take place in that specific season.

Oh! The seasons do have their effect on me. I’m a winter baby born in the cold month of January. And I tend to be a little more moody when the skies are grey. As much as I enjoy the sun, my favourite season is Autumn when I can enjoy the changing colours of the leaves.
Books, too, have their temperate season. Here are titles I’ve chosen:
***
Spring
***
Ernest Hemingway
***
The Torrents of Spring by Ernest Hemingway
***
Summer
***
Rosalind Miles
***
Guenevere, Queen of the Summer Country by Rosalind Miles
***
Winter
***
Anne Michaels
***
The Winter Vault by Anne Michaels
***
Fall
***
Gabriel Garcia-Marquez
***
The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel Garcia-Marquez
***
And just for fun, here are some weather related titles on my TBR list!

i don’t know those book, my favourite season would be spring because of all the flowers and colors blossoming
I love spring, too! A wonderful season of new beginnings!
My favourite season is definitely Fall … I love the changing of the leaves and that smell that’s in the air (which is probably rotting leaves, but I love it!).
Great picks! I love the cover of A Student of Weather.
