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.
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)
Lilies, Tulips, Orchids, Roses and Carnations
