I wanted to take you along with me as I go book shopping. I'll be honest, I do prefer book shopping online because most of the books I read are harder to find in the bookshops I have easy access to. But there is really nothing like walking through a bookstore with a coffee/tea, and just enjoying your time. It's so cozy and definitely therapeutic.

Tag Questions: 1. In fall, the air is crisp and clear: a book with a vivid setting! 2. Nature is beautiful… but also dying: a book that is beautifully written, but also deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief. 3. Fall is back to school season: 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: 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: a pile of fall-colored spines! 6. Fall is the perfect time for some storytelling by the fireside: a book where somebody is telling a story. 7. The nights are getting darker: a dark, creepy read. 8. The days are getting colder: a short, heartwarming read that could warm up somebody’s cold and rainy day. 9. Fall returns every year: an old favorite that you’d like to return to soon. 10. Fall is the perfect time for cozy reading nights: favorite cozy reading “accessories”! 11. Tag others!
