Let's do this fall fabulous book thing.
Are there any books you plan on reading over the autumn season?
I plan to read. That is my only goal and I think that it is a very good goal for me. To read and keep reading. Not sure exactly what books specifically I will be reading, but definitely the books that strike me and make me want to keep reading. I need to get out of this school stress reading slump and read all the great funny fantastic novels I can get my hands on.
Recently, The Kiss Quotient has made me definitely need to dive back into my one true reading love. Romance. Next up on my list for right now is some Lisa Kleypas.
September brings back school memories: what book did you most enjoy studying? And what were your favorite and least favorite school subjects?
Back in school I was one of those people who hated being told what to read and how many pages per day. It made any book lose its fun and excitement somehow. Recently, the most fun I had in college reading a book for class has been The 2017 Pushcart. A lot of short good reads all in one.
Also, I remember that one class my freshman year got to read A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Lucky! They were definitely an exception to the my hating assigned reading rule.
And my favorite subjects? Probably English of course. My favorite part of the day was when I would skip the cafeteria to go to the library and hang out with the fantastic librarian instead of my peers. Art too was wonderful when sitting next to a good friend who was much better at the art than I was.
My least favorite subject, of course, was the dreaded math. Typical, but true. It still is as I push through statistics this semester.
October means Halloween: Do you enjoy scary books and films? If so what are some of your favorites?
As long as they aren't slasher films in the gratuitous nature, I am up for the next scary movie night this month. Then again, I am also that person who says they have to watch all the scary movies that Netflix has put up for the month only to continue to re-watch Gilmore Girls and wait for Fall break so that I can go home and watch Hocus Pocus or even better, a nostalgic Disney Halloween film.
Book wise...man, have I read any horror? I have never even read Stephan King. What kind of reader am I??
With November it’s time for Bonfire Night and firework displays. What’s the most exciting book you’ve ever read that really kept you gripped?
Though I have never seen fireworks in the fall I don't think, fires in the crisp air of weekend evenings is always something that will hold memories. Books that kept me on the edge of my seat that I will never not remember include A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Also, Fracture Me and the rest of the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi.
What book is your favorite cozy comfort read?
My favorite cozy reads are the kind of reads that I wrap myself in a blanket with and read and read and read until I finish the whole book in one crisp cool fall day. A few favorites include Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and rereading A Court of Mist and Fury for the tenth time (at least). Definitely cozy, definitely favorite books ever if I am being honest.
For a longer less known book that kept me settled in all day a few years ago includes The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly.
Curled up with a good book, what is your hot drink of choice?
Warm apple cider! Homemade it tastes delicious and it makes the house smell perfectly autumn, because autumn does have a smell.
Any plans you’re looking forward to over the next few months?
Going home for Fall break is definitely on my list, as well as other breaks. Oh I really need a good away from school break.
