Over here in sunny, sunny CA there isn't really much of a winter. *Sigh* But there is something about mysteries that gets me in the groove of fall and winter. One of my particular favorites is P.D James, or Ariana Fanklin and Tana French (her books are amazing!). But as for TV shows, I find myself getting wrapped up in anything that is not soap opera. Like a detective show (big suprise there), NCIS or something like that gets me in the winter mood because on the set it is usually cold (east coast).

Movies are harder. I like to snuggle with a comfy blanket and pillow and watch old Miyazaki films to set the mood and then I move on to movies like Fried Green Tomatoes (the rare chic-flick for me) or maybe I decide to get a bit crazy and watch a season's based movie. Boring I know, but the setting in any media sets a mood. That's just how it is folks.

And finally music, ah where would we be without those tone-deaf pop girls and boys and the smooth singing, stomach rumbling snazzy jazzies? Well, no where, that's where.

For me, it's either world sounds, like My Brightest Diamond (look up 'nature boy'). Or maybe a bit of celtic gets me in the cold, mysterious type of mood. Augustana, Coldplay, Nightwish and some choice new groove bands do the trick as well.
 
Its autumn now where I live, and I'm trying to get into the swing of things, so I was wondering what books and what movies really put people into an autumn/winter mood. Also, what music does the same thing. I'm not talking of Halloween horror films and books, I mean "tail-end-of-the-year" things to read, watch, and listen to. Things which say: "Autumn is here, and winter is coming!"
What puts you guys into such a mood?
Serious answers please.
