I am like you Helene. I hate hot weather, despite living in AZ and FL for 20+ years. I might go visit AZ/CA where friends and family are, for a bit (3 weeks?) after DH stops working, but I will *never* be a snowbird. Love being out in the snow, on my nordic skis or snowshoes.
But, my reading tastes don't change according to the weather! I read historical fiction, autobiography, and plain old contemporary fiction with very little deep meaning. I don't read romance novels, but just good old stories about people and places. Apparently, I am one of the few who hates science fiction and fantasy, as well as mysteries. I can't stand reading about crimes or gory stuff and all the fantasy/sci-fi just doesn't make sense to me. And all of those names... I am probably the only living person around who has not read Harry Potter. To me, that would be living Hell. And just think, I was an English teacher. I read all of the YA books, and was aware of the themes of the genres I didn't like in new books, so I could recommend to kids who wanted to read sic-fi, etc. I do miss some of that reading, but I don't even have a clue who won the Newberry in the past 7 years.
