Feature & Follow: Changing Reading Habits Based on Mood

Q: Do your reading habits change based on your mood? Do you read a certain genre if you are feeling depressed or happy?

A: Not really - my personal mood doesn't change the types of books I read, Whether I'm happy or not, in a fit of extreme multi-tasking or just being a bit lazy, I'll probably end up reading the same book. But sometimes I'm in the 'mood' for a particular genre or book. For example, at times I'm in the mood for an old favorite I haven't picked up in a long time. I don't want to figure out the plot, see how different characters relate to each other, or wait to see what happens in the end. Same goes for mystery, or romance, or crime drama - I'll be in mood to read a genre and look for a book that fits it.
