Best Book Genres to Read in All Seasons – Book Genres for Specific Seasons

Did you ever find a difficult to select the next book to read and did you consult all the guides and all the recommendations only to find it more confusing to select your next book?
You probably looked at recommendations based on the books you are currently reading or the books about topics you are interested in without being satisfied with finding something new.
Or perhaps you probably are willing to explore a new genre and you are simply not being able to understand which genre to pick from among this vast selection of book genres.
Today we bring you one of the most fun ways of choosing your next book or your new book genre that might actually help you get a completely new perspective on selecting books.
So, what is this new technique for selecting the next book genre?
Seasons!
Seasons actually coincide with genres perfectly and specific seasons are perfectly suited to specific genres.
Today we are going to help you select your next book based on the season you are reading this blog in. This is one of the most underrated techniques of choosing a book but it is actually one of the most effective ways of choosing a book and a genre.
We will help you understand which seasons work with which genres of books and why should you read something in a specific season.
But before that, let us understand why selecting book genres based on seasons is actually very practical and logical.
This Is Why Season-Based Genre Selection Makes Sense
The thing you need to understand about season-based book selection is simply that some seasons just make sense for some kinds of books.
For example, if you are in the summer season or in spring then it would make sense to read light romances that just feel good in the summer or spring.
If you want a little bit of mystery and detective novels then winter would be the perfect time for it because of the mystery associated with it.
This is why seasons have particular moods that make it possible for different genres to work perfectly with them.
Here, let us be more specific.
Mood Selection
Every season has some mood associated with it which means that you are going to experience themes and emotions as well as the mood of a novel of a particular genre in a particular season.
For example, if you want to read something adventurous and something joyful and something about teen spirit then it will make much more sense to read it in the summer.
You can choose to read something like that in the winter but the mood associated with winter is completely different from the mood of summer.
If you read something associated with teen spirit and adventure in winter then you are simply not going to feel the vibe as winter is more for being cosy and introspective.
Energy Levels Match
That is also the case when it comes to energy levels because each season has its own energy level.
For example, if you are looking for inspiration and if you are looking to transform your life then reading something like that in summer might have a different effect to reading that in winter.
Additionally, something that is inspirational is going to have more effect if your surroundings are also inspirational and vibrant such as that in spring or summer.
Likewise, if you want to feel the ambience and energy levels of being in cold 19th century Victorian London then winter is going to be the perfect time to read something like that, we are of course talking about Sherlock Holmes.
Of course, you can read Sherlock Holmes in the summer but you are going to get a much better mood alignment and energy level match if you sit down by a fire in the winter with a cup of hot chocolate and reach Sherlock Holmes compared to reading it in a vibrant park full of flowers and butterflies.
Light and Ambience
Light is an important aspect that often gets overlooked because of all the other important elements of reading a book.
However, light can play a very important role in how you feel things and light changes across the year from summer to winter.
You can expect very warm sunny tones in summer but you can expect very cold tones in winter and some genres work best in warmer tones of ambient light and others in colder.
Now you can of course get yourself smart lights and change the ambience and the colour temperature in your room but it is not the same as having a colour temperature naturally when you open your windows.
For example, you can of course turn your room Halloween-themed with the perfect colour temperature and the perfect props however that is not going to have the same effect as actual Halloween outside your window.
Seasonal Traditions
We all lead very busy lives and in this modern way of living when we have to work every day, it might be difficult for us to hardly save enough time to read a book.
That is where we come to seasonal traditions and these can be some extra time that we might have in our hands during the holidays which can be the summer holidays, the winter New Year or Christmas holidays.
This is a time when people develop seasonal traditions of reading a book and this is where seasons play an important role in what people select to read.
For example, if you decide to go through all the Harry Potter books then you might choose to read them in the monsoon but you might think to yourself that winter would also be a good time to read those novels.
There is a certain feel associated with each genre and each kind of book that naturally fits in with our seasonal traditions.
Here Are the Best Genres Based on Seasons
Summer
Let’s start the book selections with the summer season and it is very easy to select books for the summer season.
You need to understand what summers are like because summers are about experience and adventure and they are about excitement and high energy.
That is why adventure goes perfectly with summer and science-fiction is also an amazing genre that you can explore during summer.
The best part about summer is that you can try out other things as well that have high energy such as thrillers and you can even try out romance that is light for the summers.
Summers are versatile and that is why you can try out a lot of genres and you will be fine with it.
However, you should not go with something too romantic or emotional because you are simply not going to get that feeling that you might get better in autumn or winter.
Monsoon
The monsoon is the perfect season for romance and nothing works better for romance than monsoon and perhaps maybe winter.
The thing with monsoon is that it is perfect for things like family drama and it is also excellent for things like historical fiction where it is nice to just sit inside and think about times that have gone by.
The monsoon is also excellent for magic and that is why monsoons are excellent for something like the Harry Potter books etc.
However, the monsoons might not be the best time to read something full of high energy and epic sequences such as epics.
This is because the monsoons are a little bit laid back in the essence they are trying to convey and they work best with cosy genres where you can expect rich storylines and themes that talk about human connections and emotions.
However, you can try out mystery in the monsoons as well but the genre mystery is best suited for summers and winters.
Autumn
Autumn is a very special case and very special season where you get vibrancy and colour and along with that you also get mystery and even joy and energy.
It is especially the case with autumn in India where you get to experience all the major festivals that bring high energy to the table.
In a situation like this, you can read things like epics that go perfectly with the high-energy spirituality of the festive season.
This is a season where you can also read fantasy and magic and it is simply because you are going to feel very much connected with fantasy novels and magic realism if you have lights all around you.
In addition to that you can also explore cultural fiction as well as non-fiction in the form of very important historical religious books such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata as they are perfectly suited for a season like this.
This might be different if you are staying in some other place because then you can read books on mystery and magic and even dark mystery and things like crime thrillers.
The thing about the season of autumn is that it all depends on where you live and the kinds of experiences you have in that season.
Winter
Winter is one of the best times to read books in general no matter the kind of book you read because you can read nearly every kind of book in winter.
If you decide to read classics in winter then you can choose to do so and it would be perfect for you and if you decide to read psychological thrillers in winter then again it is going to be perfectly suited.
You can also choose to read something such as historical fiction and non-fiction and because of the essence of winter, you are going to find it very comfortable to read history.
In addition to that you can also read mysteries in winter and this is the perfect time to do so because of the cold essence of winter that makes it possible to feel the mysterious themes in the best way possible.
However, you should not read something that you might read in the summer such as overly romantic novels and novels that exuberate energy like teen spirit or teen love.
Spring
If you are someone who reads a lot of books on personal development and if you are someone who is into contemporary fiction then spring is the perfect time to do so.
You can think about this spring season as summer of a little less intensity and a bit more charm and happiness and a little less harshness.
That means you can choose to read anything light-hearted during the spring season, be it poetry, adventure or even light romance.
However, this may not be the perfect season to read something of high intensity and high energy.
We hope this blog will help you choose your next book wisely depending on the seasons but there is something even more important to understand.
In the end, It is that it all depends on what you want to read.
If you want to read something high-intensity in spring or even the monsoons then you can definitely do so. The thing about reading books is the freedom associated with it and you can certainly choose to do whatever you want when it comes to your reading habits.
