Good morning everyone, October is in full blast around here and I’ve been enjoying the nice Fall days as much as I can. I have finally accepted the fact that summer is gone for now and cooler weather has arrived. I like all the pretty colors Autumn brings so it has been nice. I took the picture above yesterday while we were out walking.

On the Blog…

Mailbox Monday:

Creatures of Want and Ruin by Molly Tanzer arrived recently. It has a strange and interesting premise and this is not an author I had ever heard of before.

Happy Sunday everyone. It is a rainy one here in Jersey with flash flood alerts for later today. I got my errands run yesterday early so today I can just lounge at home in my pj’s and relax. I also bought my Halloween costume, which was really putting a few things together to wear. We are dressing up at work as our “future selves”, so I got what I thought I would look like in my 80’s, white wig and head kerchief included. It should be interesting. Are you dressing up for Halloween?

Top Ten Tuesday 10/10/17: Ten Books With Fall/Autumn Covers/Themes

Happy Tuesday everyone. This week’s TTT theme is Fall. This is my favorite season so this list was alot of fun to come up with. I am definitely a seasonal reader. I won’t read summer themed books in the winter or wintery books in the summer etc. I read with the seasons. I really enjoy Autumn, the vibrant colors, the cooler weather, pumpkin and apple picking, Halloween, Thanksgiving… it’s a cozy time in general. Here’s my list:

October 10: Ten Books With Fall/Autumn Covers/Themes (If the cover screams fall to you, or the books give off a feeling of being Fallish)

 

1. The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson. My copy is well read. I like the way she wrote about nature.

2. Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Tales and Poems This one has a permanent spot on my shelves and The Telltale Heart is a favorite so is The Raven. Poe’s dramatic and intense stories and poems make for perfect Fall reading.

Happy Monday. I just love this time of year, when the weather is getting cooler and the leaves are turning vibrant colors. It also makes for perfect cozy reading weather. Although, I have to mention I did shed tears last night over The Walking Dead. Not okay :*(  If you watched, what did you think about it?

Soooo onto my mailbox….
