I like to put out Halloween decor and start watching my favorite Halloween movies.

I think I read 3. Caraval, Legendary, and Finale. I think I enjoyed Caraval the first because it was like the introduction to the whole series so it felt very magical and full of emotion. My least favorite was Finale, I felt like Scarlett and Tella as characters kind of took a back step, and the romantic drama between all of them was just too trivial for me.

I had the same experience with the Caraval Series.

QOTD: Which fall drink are you craving most: pumpkin spice, apple cider, or hot chocolate?

All of these sound good. I'm between apple cider and hot chocolate. I'd probably go with hot chocolate with whip cream or marshmallows and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I always want a Pumpkin Spice Latte, i'm addicted to the flavor.

Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte!

None of those.

QOTD: What’s a Halloween tradition you look forward to every year?

QOTD: What's your go-to comfort book or movie for cozy autumn nights?

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What’s a Halloween tradition you look forward to every year?"

I look forward to watching my annual re-watch of some of my favorite Halloween movies on Halloween (Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, etc.).

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's your go-to comfort book or movie for cozy autumn nights?"

I love watching You've Got Mail at any point during the year, but I enjoy it the most during the fall. It's just better during the fall, and so cozy and comforting. A go-to comfort book...well, I could list many. If I want something quick, I'd say The Tea Dragon Society, Pumpkinheads, or Mooncakes (all graphic novels). For books, I have to say The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue or The Hobbit.

Hot chocolate even though I don't even drink it that often.

QOTD:If you had to choose between reading a thriller, a horror, or a cozy mystery this month, which would it be?

A thriller. I'm not a huge fan of cozy mysteries, at least the ones that I've tried. I just don't think it's my cup of tea. While I will read horror, it's not very often and I'm extremely selective on which horror titles I pick up. Thrillers are my go-to out of these options.

Horror, because of Halloween. .... But a thriller might work too. Not big on cozy mysteries.

Depends on the book and author but if going in blind, I’d go w/ cozy mystery.

QOTD: What's your favorite spooky (or non-spooky) fall activity?

Bake pumpkin cream cheese muffins, make a cup of tea, and cozy up with a good book. I also love making chili and watching a good fall movie, or having a bonfire and roasting s'mores and reading on my kindle. It's hard to narrow down just one thing.

I like painting pumpkins.

I don't really do anything for Halloween.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD:If you had to choose between reading a thriller, a horror, or a cozy mystery this month, which would it be?"

I love both so its a tie between thriller and cozy mystery.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's your favorite spooky (or non-spooky) fall activity?"

We always have a kid friendly Halloween party and bonfire. We rotate years on hosting, but this is always my favorite thing for fall!

QOTD: If you could meet any fictional witch or wizard, who would it be?

fantasy is my favorite genre, and I have many options to choose from...but, I think, I'm going with Gandalf.

The aunts from Practical Magic.

So many from which to choose, I can’t pick just one.

QOTD: If you were in a horror movie, how do you think you’d fare?

I'd probably be one to survive because I would be the person that left before it got crazy, all because I got a bad vibe/feeling.

I would die. I would procrastinate endlessly until it was too late to leave. Then I would be frozen with fright and killed.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: If you were in a horror movie, how do you think you’d fare?"

It depends on the situation. I'd probably die first if it was something I had no control over.

If I had control, I'd live because I would simply leave.

QOTD: What's your all-time favorite Halloween candy?

Reese's pumpkins for chocolate and for fruity candy i like the caramel apple suckers.

.
.
Snickers. For anytime. Love the teeny-tiny sized bars.

If you are asking about candy corn, peeps, etc. I dislike all those.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's your all-time favorite Halloween candy?"

Reese's pumpkins, caramel apple suckers, and take-5.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's your all-time favorite Halloween candy?"

I don't think I have a favorite candy specifically for Halloween.

QOTD: What's a fun way to decorate your space for fall that makes you feel cozy?

I enjoy changing out bedding, throw pillows, and blankets. I also like to put out a bit of decor to add the warm tones of fall into my space. It makes it extra cozy.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What's a fun way to decorate your space for fall that makes you feel cozy?"

I don't typically decorate for season changes or holidays other than Christmas.

QOTD: What’s your favorite type of cozy autumn aesthetic: rustic, cottagecore, or modern cozy?

I love a good cottagecore cozy autumn aesthetic. I love any cozy cottagecore aesthetic really, but especially during the fall.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What’s your favorite type of cozy autumn aesthetic: rustic, cottagecore, or modern cozy?"

Probably just modern cozy.

QOTD: If you could spend the fall in any other country, where would you go?

I would love to visit Edinburgh, Scotland, especially during the autumn season.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: If you could spend the fall in any other country, where would you go?"

Definitely Edinburgh as well, and several spots along northern England.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What’s your favorite type of cozy autumn aesthetic: rustic, cottagecore, or modern cozy?"

probably rustic?

QOTD: What’s your favorite pumpkin-flavored treat?

Out of the treats that I make, my favorite is pumpkin pie dip. It's delicious and perfect to dip graham crackers or apples in.

The Little Debbie pumpkin delights snack cakes!

QOTD: What October releases are/were you're most anticipated?
