FlashFiveFriday: Weather

English: Weather vane, Hartgrove A very apt weather vane on the Old School House. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I'm a mood reader. Depending on what mood I'm in, I might pick up chick-lit or a book about a homicidal maniac. Weather influences reading habits - think about all the "Beach Reads" that were heralded by publishers just a few months ago. Now as we head into fall we are seeing Back to School reads and soon "cozy mysteries" to curl up with by the fire will be the go-to genre. When it is chilly and rainy, there is nothing better than cuddling on the couch with my pets, a cup of cocoa, and a good book.

Are you a mood reader? Does weather influence your choice of reading material? If so, what books/genres are you picking up?
