Today's question:
For that matter, does your mood color what you’re reading, so that a funny book isn’t so funny or a serious one not so deep?
My answer:
Today's question has taken much thought. I guess I have always chosen my "next book" upon my mood but never realized it. My number one genre is mystery/suspense but the past few books that I have read I would put in the classification of contemporary fictions/romance/chick lit. I don't go searching through my tbr pile saying "I need something to cheer me up". I tend to just peruse the pile, select a couple of books that seem interesting at the time, read the blurb and go from there. So I guess subconsciously, my mood is in it's own way, deciding which book I should read.

Of course mood (and so many other things) affect our reading!
I tell myself that having HUGE TBRs is actually good for me, since there are so many choices! lol
And I like picking a variety for the week, and from there, my mood "chooses" for me.

My mood doesn't influence what I am reading at the time.

I'm kind of similar to you in grabbing books that sound good and picking the best one, but I tend to think things like 'I feel like a cozy mystery' before I start as I have waaaaaay too many books to go in with no idea what to pick.
My BTT post is here and I'm also holding a giveaway here :)
