If you were to put together a bouquet of books that you either have read or plan to read this spring, and each genre is a different flower type, how eclectic would your bouquet be?
Bouquets of a dozen roses can be dramatic and beautiful, while bouquets of a dozen different flowers can be cheerful and fun, so there are no wrong answers.
My bouquet fits in a small vase since I don’t have much reading time, and it is mostly composed of historical romance lilies, though I have an orchid and a couple carnations thrown in for variety.
- Historical Romance – Lily
- Contemporary Romance – Tulip
- Mystery – Orchid
- Romantic Suspense – Rose
- Rom Com – Carnation
- Fantasy – Snapdragon
- Thriller – Hydrangeas
- Children’s Book – Baby’s Breath
- Nonfiction – Peonies
What flowers are in your spring reading bouquet?

Everything but hydrangeas. Not really into thrillers.
I had fun picking hydrangeas for that genre. Made me think of “hy” “danger.” 🙂 I don’t read much in that genre, either.
Lilies make up the bulk of mine. But I also have some roses, snapdragons, orchids, and just one hydrangea (because my chicken self can’t handle more than one of those in a season. LOL)
I have lots of lilies in my bourquet, too, Joy. Lily happens to me my favorite flower, which is why I assigned it to my favorite genre. 🙂
Lilies, Tulips, Orchids, Roses and Carnations
Sounds like a lovely bouquet, Kay!
Lilies, tulips, and orchids.
Sounds like we have very similar tastes, Betty. 🙂
So far I have had lots of baby’s breath (prepping for summer reading program at our church), peonies, a lily, and a rose.
Enjoy your spring bouquet!
Sounds lovely, Jen! Hope your reading program is a hit!
