Some are traditionally published and some are indie. Many of the covers have earthy tones such as beige, gold, russet and red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you prefer seasonal reads? Do you prefer reading a book set in autumn, during the autumn season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What about Christmas books? Do you read these all year long? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m asking because when thinking of a season, I tend to prefer Christmas books &#8211; probably because didn&#8217;t celebrate Christmas while I was growing up. I was thinking of writing some seasonal books in the future and wondered what readers thought of seasonal reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a related note, I had another question about: DELUXE EDITIONS with SPRAYED EDGES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many bestselling books that come out with a deluxe edition with sprayed edges. <strong>Do you ever purchase the deluxe edition &#8211; as well as the original version? Do you read the deluxe edition, or, is it only for display?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve noticed that there are a lot of deluxe editions, with sprayed edges, for the autumn-themed stories. The edges are usually sprayed gold or orange, and the edges also have cute images of pumpkins, leaves, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave your comments! Respond to the bolded questions!
