You are right, they involve so many details one might not think of: clothing, whether the heat or air-conditioning comes on at a certain time of day, whether the light fades earlier or the mornings are still dark, etc. Even what kinds of birds show up in the backyard. Usually, as a reader, though, I just enter the world of the book. If the season is different from the one I'm dealing with, it doesn't matter. A good writer just pulls me in, and I get lost in the story.

That's probably more accurate for me. I don't really want to read a Christmas book in the middle of the summer lol Then again...when I think of snow I always think of Christmas so maybe that's it LOL I've never thought about it until now so I'll have to pay attention now :DMichelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-89114641950272981302015-03-19T09:26:06.165-05:002015-03-19T09:26:06.165-05:00"I don't generally pick up a book with a ..."I don't generally pick up a book with a snow-covered picture on the cover in the middle of summer. "<br />Ha! Then you've never been through a Sacramento heat wave, lol. I do deliberately read some cold-set books during the worst of the summer temperatures. If the author's done their work, I feel like it's a mini-vacation to the coast (which is actually freezing and foggy in the summer, in Northern California).Angelica R.
