Cozy Fall Book Tag

Time for another tag! I'm nowhere near being out of fall book tags to do, fortunately. I've found a whole bunch of Booktube videos with this tag, so I decided to give it a go!

Crunching leaves: The world is full of color. Choose a book that has reds/oranges/yellows on the cover. I think ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff fits this best - it definitely has all of those colors! Maybe not in the most strictly autumnal setting, but that's okay.

Cozy sweater: It's finally cold enough to don warm cozy clothing. What book gives you the warm fuzzies? THE SUMMER OF JORDI PEREZ by Amy Spalding is super summery, but it's a new favorite that I absolutely adored and I have to talk about it for this! It was absolutely delightful and I was grinning the whole time I was reading.

Fall storm: The wind is howling and the rain is pounding. Choose your favorite book or genre that you like to read on a stormy day. I'm cheating a bit with this because this is going to be the next book I read on a stormy day: FOR A MUSE OF FIRE by Heidi Heilig. A storm would be the perfect excuse to stay in all day and read this!

Cool crisp air: Who's the coolest character you'd want to trade places with? I can't really say that I'd want to trade places with any character that I read about, but I would love to go into the setting of my current read: A DASH OF TROUBLE. I want to go to a magical bakery! All of the food sounds absolutely delicious.

Hot apple cider: What under-hyped book do you want to see become the next biggest, hottest thing? Another recent favorite: THE SPY WITH THE RED BALLOON by Katherine Locke. I genuinely believe that this book could be hugely popular, but it's been seriously underhyped so far.

Coat, scarf, and mittens: The weather has turned cold and it's time to cover up. What's the most embarrassing book cover you own that you like to keep hidden in public? I don't actually own these covers, but I was hiding them when I had the books out from the library: the VAMPIRE ACADEMY series by Richelle Meade! These covers are just...I think you can tell. They also really don't reflect what the books are like!

Pumpkin spice: What's your favorite fall comfort food? I do love pumpkin spice, but as far as comfort food goes, I have to go with cornbread stuffing. Absolutely delicious! That's the season-specific one, but I also couldn't write this without bringing up my mom's buttermilk pancake recipe that she makes once in a while, including every Thanksgiving morning.

What's your favorite part of fall? Tell me in the comments!

Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Getting for Chanukah

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Books You Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under Your Tree (with a slight alteration). I'm probably one of the easiest people to shop for. If you have the link to my Goodreads, you're basically guaranteed to get me something I'll like. (And even if you don't, I'm really not hard to please.) But, of course, there are some books that I'm more excited for than others. Here are ten that I would be absolutely thrilled to get as gifts this year. GEMINA by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: The more I think about how great this book is going to be, the more I want it. And it's so pretty! P.S. I LIKE YOU by Kasie West: I love Kasie West! Her contemporaries are all so adorable - I can't believe I haven't read this one yet. THE SECRET KEEPERS by Trenton Lee Stewart: Finally, another book from the author of my favorite middle grade series ever! I...

Ten Books I Need More People to Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Underrated/Hidden Gem Books You've Read in the Past Year or So. One of my favorite things to do is get other people to read books I love. That way, I can discuss the boo ks with them, and if I know their tastes well enough, I know I'm givin g them something that they'll love! Unfortunately, I can't do this with the entire world. And that means that there are books that I've really enjoyed t hat just aren't widely loved. Why ? I don't know. And that's why I spend so much time trying to get other people to read them. Here are ten books I've read some what recently that I think really deserve some m ore lo ve. IRON CAST by Destiny Soria: I'll never get tired of diverse books, I 'll never get tired of historical fiction, and I'll never get tired of positive female friendships. When you pu t those all together, they ma ke a book tha...

Thoughts on Required Reading, Part 2

Last year, I did a post about my thoughts on required reading. This is a rough follow-up to that. It's that time of year again - the start of a new semester! I know my school starts later than most, so if you're a student, you've probably already started. But I just started my classes a couple of days ago...which explains why my Friday post is going up on a day that's definitely not Friday. (Oh, well.) It also means that it's the perfect time to talk about required reading again. Quick recap of the last post: I was required to reread PRIDE AND PREJUDICE , which I'd originally read on my own and loved, and hated it. Update: last semester, I was required to reread THE GREAT GATSBY , another book that I'd originally loved. But this time, the required reread made me love the book even more. But I can't put my finger on anything that made rereading the two books different, except for the fact that I already knew I wanted to reread Gatsby at some p...
