QOTD: Do you have any fun, exciting plans this weekend? Cozy, bookish plans?

Not sure about any specific plans, but I'd like to read and write some this weekend.

No plans.

QOTD: What is the perfect fall drink for you?

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is the perfect fall drink for you?"

I don't really change up drinks for each season, but I do love Chai and that feels very Autumn to me.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is the perfect fall drink for you?"

Pumpkin spice and apple flavored iced coffee!

QOTD: What is your favorite color foliage?

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is your favorite color foliage?"

Red

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is your favorite color foliage?"

Red or orange!

Orange!

QOTD: Do you own multiple copies of a book?

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is your favorite color foliage?"

Orange is my favorite fall foliage.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you own multiple copies of a book?"

Yes, I have multiple copies of books. It's usually favorites like The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue or The Hobbit. But I have ended up with special editions of books that I have a the standard copy of as well.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you own multiple copies of a book?"

The only one I have multiples of is The Lord of the Rings series. I got rid of all my other duplicates.

No multiples

No plans

Not any plans, other than reading and writing.

Going to the Spoonbread Festival in Berea this evening with a few friends, other than that nope. I'll be working this weekend.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you have any fun, exciting plans this weekend? Cozy, bookish plans?"

My family and I are going to the pumpkin patch.

QOTD: Name something that you would see in the fall that begins with the first letter of your first name.

The only things that I can think of are like a kettle (for tea) and knitted scarves haha. K is hard for fall things.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Name something that you would see in the fall that begins with the first letter of your first name."

Oh gosh, maybe vibrant colored leaves or vanilla-scented candles. A bit of a stretch but I'm going with it unless I can think of something else.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Name something that you would see in the fall that begins with the first letter of your first name."

Jack O Lantern and jacket!

QOTD: How would you spend your perfect autumn day?

My perfect autumn day would start with a quiet and peaceful foggy morning with a soft glow from lamplight in the house. I would brew a cup of hot coffee to accompany a heartwarming breakfast. Afterwards, I would burrow into warm, cozy blankets and get lost in a good book until afternoon adventures begin. For the afternoon, I would go to a local farmer's market, and maybe to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard. I'd stop somewhere for a lunch and maybe afternoon tea or coffee...maybe a café where I could enjoy sipping on a coffee while reading. Before heading home, I'd stop by a bookstore to browse (maybe buy a new book). I'd spend the rest of the day, baking a yummy fall treat, reading, writing, or watching a good fall movie after dinner. It would be a cozy raining evening in and my heart would be so full and content.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: How would you spend your perfect autumn day?"

Cappuccino, book, blanket, couch.

QOTD: What's the coziest book you've ever read?

I think anytime I pick up a Jane Austen it’s fairly cozy.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's the coziest book you've ever read?"

84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff.

Big Lies in a Small Town is a mystery, but I also that one was great to cozy up with.

QOTD: What are you trying to finish before September is over?

I finished it yesterday because I was thinking today was the first. Black Candle Women by Diane Marie Brown.

I'm hoping to finish A Court of Mist and Fury.

In a perfect world: Circe by Madeline Miller and Coexistence by Billy-Ray Belcourt.

Reality: I'd say nothing will get finished.

I finished my book yesterday. It was Everything We Never Said by Sloan Harlow

Priory of the Orange Tree is sooooo good. If you get around to reading that one, I hope you love it!

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: How many books did you read in September? What was your favorite and least favorite?"

I finished two, but read in many others.
The ones I finished were The Book of Doors (my favorite of the month) and The Shadow and the Ghost (my least favorite - but it wasn't bad at all...it was very cute and I liked it. I just didn't like it as much as the other book I finished this month.)
