The Book Finch | Finally Fall Book Tag | 2022 @TheBookFinch | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
So, it appears I have not done fall and autumn related tags all that much,
aside from the Fall Favorites -tag I did in 2017...That was a long time ago!
This tag has been around for well over four years and the original video is not available anymore.
I will however link to Angela's (Literature Science Alliance) video, where I got the initial inspiration to do the Finally Fall Book Tag.
Angelas version:

If you want to see me in a cringe Halloween costume, you can watch the 2017 video here:

Prompts:
1. In fall, the air is crisp and clear: name a book with a vivid setting
2. Nature is beautiful, but also dying: name a book that is beautifully written, but also deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief.
3. Fall is back to school season: share a non-fiction book that taught you something new.
4. In order to keep warm, it’s good to spend some time with the people we love: name a fictional family/household/friend-group that you’d like to be a part of.
5. The colorful leaves are piling up on the ground: show us a pile of fall-colored spines!
6. Fall is the perfect time for some storytelling by the fireside: share a book wherein somebody is telling a story.
7. The nights are getting darker: share a dark, creepy read.
8. The days are getting colder: name a short, heartwarming read that could warm up somebody’s cold and rainy day.
9. Fall returns every year: name an old favorite that you’d like to return to soon.
