This happens to me all the time. I've not...Yes! This happens to me all the time. I've noticed that I always suggest Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes to people who liked Gone Girl, but wonder if it's because I read them back to back. <br /><br />I try to switch up genres with each book I read for fear that if I read the same type of books, some will pale in comparison to others, but if I had read them at another time, I'd have enjoyed them a lot. However, sometimes this can backfire, as I'm still in the mindset of the previous book when starting the next one, as you mentioned. I guess there is no perfect answer!Hallenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-10672483125668951122013-05-13T19:15:50.942-05:002013-05-13T19:15:50.942-05:00Yes, I particularly read books differently if I...Yes, I particularly read books differently if I'm reading multiple books at the same time! I, too, read a lot of history but I also read a lot of horror. It is amazing how often they are similar due to history being so violent.

Mike BPL REF I don't think I read a book differently then what I have read before it, but I know I definitely try to choose a different type of book then what I have just read. For example, I just finished reading the third and final volume of a biography of<br />Winston Churchill. It was over 1,000 pages long so I knew I wouldn't enjoy reading right after it a biography, a book on WWII or anything that long, so my next choice of book is always influenced by what I just read only in the sense of the genre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
