As summer ends and September arrives with cooler mornings
and shorter days, our routines change, encouraging us to slow down, reflect, and
read a good book.
Whether you're a student cracking open textbooks or a mystery
reader reaching for a cozy paperback, September feels like the unofficial start
of the reading season. With the beach reads tucked away, deeper, more intriguing
stories emerge, accompanied by a warm beverage and a cozy blanket.
Why September is Made for Reading
- Weather
That Whispers “Stay In”: Cooler evenings and rainy afternoons
practically beg for a reading nook. The sound of pages turning becomes the
soundtrack to a slower, more intentional pace.
- New
Releases: Many new releases come out in September, offering fresh
content. It’s a great month to explore new genres and authors.
- Book
Clubs: Join a book club, as many resume in September and offer
valuable opportunities for community engagement.
What to Read This Month- Cozy
Mysteries: The transition from summer to fall creates a cozy atmosphere
ideal for reading quirky characters, small towns, and just enough suspense
to keep you guessing.
- Seasonal Reading: Choose books that reflect the mood of a specific season
like fall, winter, or that season’s particular holidays.
- Memoirs
and Reflections: September is a season for reading and reflection due
to the transition to fall, a season often associated with introspection. Reflecting
on the year’s progress can motivate personal and professional development.
As September calls us in from Summer’s playground and
prepares us for fall and winter, it’s a great time to choose books that reflect
the season’s atmosphere. Take advantage of the cooler months to enjoy some reading.
I'd be remiss to my marketing responsibilities if I didn't mention that NIKI UNDERCOVER, the first novel in my new series, arrives on September 16, and I'd like it to be one of the things you are reading.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading it! I love your books.
DeleteI do tend to pick more seasonal (less fluffy) reads -no beach chairs. Having read an ARC of Niki Undercover, i would be remiss not saying it is a perfect fall read.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading Jim’s book! I also choose more seasonal books and movies!
DeleteI'm all about airplane reads, including the new Daniel Silva thriller. I read Ramona Emerson's first forensic photography book, SHUTTER, and am looking forward to EXPOSURE.
ReplyDeleteLove airplane reads as well! I get so immersed in a good book while traveling!
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm not a student or teaching in a traditional school, I find that September not only feels invigorating, it can be relaxing. Bring on the books!
ReplyDeleteHappy September, Teresa! September is a good time for reading and some serious writing too.
