Does your current mood affect your reading? Affect your choices?
It does. This week I'm in the mood for the St Patrick's day color so I'm reading a book of nature quotations. Its cover is of course green. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus is up next. Its cover also happens to be green.

I was looking around my house, and I don't have hardly anything that's green. Strange, especially since my husband is part Irish. LOL. Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I like that, chosing by color in honor to an event. Reminds me I still have to read The Christmas Sweater this year in that season, and the cover is, of course, red and white.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for sharing. My BTT
Wow, I love all the green and the pictures of food look too pretty to eat. Thanks for sharing.

I do love St. Patrick's Day...and my whole bedroom could be a tribute, as I call it my Ireland Room. In honor of the year my son spent living there and photographing special places. I also collected a few Irish things and created a vignette on my rolltop desk that's next to the bed. Love your "green" vignettes.

Great idea for a T13 list. I'm sure I could have done something like this many times over, just with book covers, lol.
ReplyDeletethat's a neat idea. selective vision can work sometimes.
