Top Ten Books That Give Off Autumn Vibes

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

Top Ten  Four Books That Give Off Autumn Vibes

1. Anne of Windy Poplars by L.M. Montgomery

Of all the Anne books, this is the most autumn-vibey. The phrase "Windy Poplars" definitely gives off autumn vibes, and there's a definite chill in the air as Anne takes on the town. And lots of pumpkin preserves. And cemeteries. Definitely an autumn book.

2. Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater

Listen, I am so freaking excited that this book comes out today and even though I haven't read it yet, I can just TELL it gives off autumn vibes, okay? It's coming out in November, and it has Ronan and Adam, who are woodsy autumn boys, in it, so what more do you want?

3. The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

All the Raven Boys books are autumn-vibey, but especially this first one, with the leaves and the woods and the mystery.

4. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

The Goldfinch definitely has some autumn vibes going, between the color palate of the eponymous painting and Theo's emotional state throughout the book.

Annnd, that's all I've got right now. While compiling this list, I realized I've read a lot of winter-vibey books in recent years (mostly to try to psych myself up about my least favorite season), so  I hope that's a topic in a few months, because I will nail it!

I have only read the first two Anne of Green Gables books. I have read the first one several times and also watched the Netflix adaptation. Someday I may read the rest. Fall is my husband's favorite season. I never liked it much because it meant summer was over in New Jersey/Michigan, the states I lived in for most of my life. Now I live in So Cal and Fall means fires, means it is still hot, means it is hardly a season for me. Right now I am looking forward to winter and hopefully some rain!
Windy Poplars--you are so right!

Yes, Anne of Windy Poplars is a great choice. Have you read all of the books in that series?

My TTT.
I've read all of the Anne books, including the ones about her children. I've probably read Anne of the Island and Anne of Windy Poplars most. Come to think of it, WIndy Poplars might be my favorite Anne book!
I agree with all of these! So excited for Call Down the Hawk. Still waiting on my copy to arrive. ;)

Ooh, The Goldfinch is a good choice. I liked that book.

Yes to all of these! The Goldfinch is probably one of my top five books of all time so I'm always keen on seeing it on people's lists--such a good autumn read. Also, I'm beyond stoked for Call Down the Hawk. NEED. IT. ASAP.

Books I Loved But Never Reviewed

 Reviewed is a strong word. I've mostly stopped doing formal book reviews except for author requests and/or when I feel like it, but I usually give some description and or opinions of books I'm reading, usually multiple times, through weekly and monthly wrap-ups. I do find that it' s more difficult to review my absolute favorite books than books I either disliked or engaged with strongly on an intellectual rather than emotional level. For example, I rarely review poetry beyond "I loved it'" or "Meh." It's much easier to explain criticism of vocabulary usage or a plot device than explain how the book felt like a snug little snow globe. So, for this Top Ten Tuesday , I'm listing books that I loved, didn't give a formal review, and (I think) didn't discuss too much.  Books I Loved But Never Reviewed A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman We Are Okay by Nina LaCour The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K.

Cozy Snowy Books and Books I Want for Hanukkah

 As usual, it's that time again to adjust the Top Ten Tuesday topic because tonight is the third night of Hanukkah. Hanukkah always starts on the 25th of Kislev but that sometimes needs some adjusting on the Gregorian calendar. Happy third night to my fellow celebrants, and happy almost-winter and/or winter holidays to everyone else! Since I also missed last week's topic, I've decided to share some cozy snowy reads--the topic was books set in snowy places but Jana added cozy and I like that as well-- to get into the wintery mood as well as some books I'd like for Hanukkah. Books Set in (Cozy) Snowy Places Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliott--This one is set during Hanukkah in Maine and NYC, so lots of cozy snow and wintry scenes in this evocative Hanukkah romance--and yes, it does involve a lot of food... The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis--Narnia is, of course, not an entirely nice place when the Pevensie children enter it, yet Mr. Tumnus, Mr. and Mrs....
