Joys of summer reading: the books we're devouring are likely influenced by someone we know and trust

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, July 13, 2023

If your bag is packed for your summer holiday, does it contain books that you’ve been meaning to read for ages, or titles that you very recently bought or borrowed?

Key Points: 
  • If your bag is packed for your summer holiday, does it contain books that you’ve been meaning to read for ages, or titles that you very recently bought or borrowed?
  • Perhaps you grabbed a bestselling mystery or romance in an airport bookstore, or chose an intriguing-looking celebrity memoir from a little free library in your neighbourhood.
  • But the chances are that your summer reading choices have been influenced by someone you know and trust, whether that person is an influencer on Bookstagram, a colleague or your best friend.

Longer hours of daylight … to read

    • For many Canadians who enjoy reading books for pleasure, the summer season brings with it some extra reading time.
    • Fast forward about 150 years and we find ourselves in a post-digital age: as noted by scholars like Alexandra Dane and Millicent Weber, digital technologies and platforms have changed and complicated how books are produced, and how they circulate and are consumed.

Opinions on ‘bestsellers’

    • The readers we surveyed frequently combine traditional methods of book selection such as consulting reviews in newspapers, and browsing in libraries and bookstores, with the use of online recommendation sources.
    • And, it’s true even when readers view “bestseller” as a term that screams “not for me,” “trashy” or “poor-quality writing” — as many of our surveyed readers did.

Trusted influencers

    • Add in a recommendation from a friend or a trusted online influencer like Canadian Ariel Bissett, and a reader is highly likely to at least try out the book.
    • “Prize winners” and “family member’s recommendations” were also significant, with 40 per cent of respondents indicating both of these as their go-to methods.

Young adult readers

    • Another aspect of our research highlighted how readers engage with reading recommendation cultures online and offline.
    • This research involved a two-month conversation with an international group of young adults from 13 countries living on five continents.

A book to engage us

    • As readers, we all want to invest our time in a book that will engage us, whether for entertainment or education.
    • In these post-digital times, we are perhaps more likely to judge a book by its readers than by its cover.
