Cozy Autumn Book Tag 🍂 ☕ 📚

-

It being into November already, it's a little late to be posting this tag, but it looked fun so I thought I'd do it anyway XD

1. What books always remind you of fall/autumn?

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (which I just finished) definitely reminds me of autumn. It starts off on a cold, windy November day, and has a very atmospheric, gothic feel which is great fall reading. 

2. What is your favorite autumnal cover?

Hmm...I don't know if it perfectly fits the description of autumnal, but the colors on the cover of Valley of Dragons by Christina Baehr (cover below) has always made me think of fall with the pretty shades of brown, red, and yellow. 


3. What is your favorite autumnal drink to read with?

That would be piping hot, spicy chai tea with lots of milk and honey ;)

4. Do you prefer to read early in the morning or at night? 

I enjoy reading late at night (I am a major night owl), though I try to get reading in just whenever I have the time. 

5. Halloween is coming! What is your favorite spooky read?

Halloween? I think you mean Reformation Day. I don't have a favorite Reformation read, but I would like to read the biography of Martin Luther called Here I Stand next year. ;)

6. What is the ultimate comfort read for you?

That is most certainly "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott. I reread it around the end of fall/beginning of winter every year, and it is such a beautiful, heartwarming, perfect book. 

7. What is your favorite autumnal reading snack?

I don't typically eat while reading, but if I do it's usually a bar of 90% chocolate 👀

8. What is your favorite autumnal candle to burn while reading?

I've never burned a candle while reading, so...next question!

9. What is your favorite autumnal activity when you're not reading?

I love listening to folk music, baking, writing, and playing guitar. 

10. What is on your fall reading list?

Way too many to list here, but here are a few that are on my priority list to read during the remaining weeks of fall: "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier, "Lady Susan" by Jane Austen, "North and South" by Elizabeth Gaskell, the next two books in the "Love Comes Softly" series, and many more!

Bookishly yours,
