Hi friends!
Today’s topic for Top Ten Tuesday (books with long title) and Top 5 Tuesday (ghosts) did not inspire me so I thought I’s go rogue and come with my own topic.
I decided to revive and update a topic I wrote about one year ago: recommend books based on your favorite Fall activity!
I won’t be able to stick up to ten (ish) books sorry!!! But I did choose books I have read this year!
Let’s do a “if you like” then “you’ll like” and see if my predictions are right 😀
First Fall activity: football season!
If you love watching a football game that may be for the challenge and supporting some friends or family but that also may be because you love looking at these hot and muscled calves/thighs/butts/abs …. 😀
If that’s your favorite activity I would recommen … sportsromances!
You’ll find the adrenaline and hotness in these stories.
My favorites of the year are:
When Fall is upon us, the woods wear glorious colors so if you are like me and love walking in the woods and connect with nature I would totally recommend books with earthy creatures. Deep connection to their inner beast or inhabitants of the woods like shifters and fae!
My favorite shifter and fae stories that I would recommend are:
If your idea of fun is going to pumpkin feasts and Fall markets you love celebrating with friends, family and neighbors. You adore exchanging pleasantries and catching up on the latest gossip. Being part of a community and making memories for the kids is important for you.
I would totally recommend book with great communities and small town vibe!
Some of my favorites are:
Another great activity in Fall is walking in corn mazes and entering spooky barns, especially on Halloween night!
If you love getting spooked and being frightened by big bad things hiding in dark corners I bet you’d love books with a spooky or gothic vibe!
I would totally recommend:
Cosplaying and trick or treating with the kids is your most favorite passtime this season?
Then I bet that you love YA fantasy with lots of action, a little bit of love and big dose of humor!
Here are some recommendations for you:
Now if you find the air quite chill and use any excuse to stay inside close to the fire, drinking hot cocoa to read a book you would definitely need something cosy and contemporary, a cozy mystery or maybe a good old fashion mystery/crime?
Some ideas here:
And if you dream of baking pumpkin pies and carrot cakes with ginger you would be drawn to books with a warm and sweet feel. Also books with great families and sibblings relationships as we often bake for our kids or husband. Maybe books with some creative main character like artists or chefs or … Some romcom too!
My recommendations for you would be:
That’s it!
Now you tell me: am I right?
Thanks for reading!
Sophie
Love this! I bought TJ Klune’s book but I haven’t gotten around to it yet!!
This is a great list! I loved Mexican Gothic, KOS, and Well Met! Crescent City is on my next month’s TBR list and I’m super excited. The Foxhole Court and Diviner Series are currently on my TBR list. I’m glad you enjoyed them!
Such an interesting way to recommend books!!
Thank you!
Sophie!! This is a cute list!! Also, sorry I’m so late this week!!
Don’t worry at all Meeghan! I am so so so late myself these last months!
This post is so much fun! And I still need to read a book by Jay McLean and SJM, love these recs!
Thank you Jen!!!
This is so creative, love this! I also love the fact that you went rogue!!!!
Thank you Caro!!!
I love how you changed this week’s topic.
Thank you!!
You’re welcome!
I loved the town – and the townspeople – in Well Met. Such a great cast of characters!
Right? Everything just worked!
A lot of books on this list that I want to read! The Foxhole Court, Mexican Gothic, The Diviners… I could go on! And I love how you based them on autumn activities as well ^.^
Thank you Olivia! I hope you’ll love them!
So many good books!!! And I’ve read at least half of them 😀
Yas!!! I know our taste evolved in sync this year Corina!
I love blogs that go rogue! Great picks. Seeing as I love a lot of these books, it makes me eager to look into a lot of the ones I haven’t read.
Thank you so much Wendy!
You wild woman, going rogue like that! 🙂
I see some amazing authors in your list- love Katherine Center!
Me too Jacquie! She was an amazing discovery!
I love your community picks. Some of my faves there. I have read a LOT of football romances and never say no to those.
Me neither Sam!
Love the going-rogue topic you went with! Definitely timely and perfect for the season. Of all of these, staying home by a fire with hot cocoa speaks to me the most and your reccs sound perfect too! Thanks for sharing, Sophie! 😀
You are so welcome Lashaan!
Ah, we can trust you, Sophie, to come up with a different and unusual spin and make it your own! You have style, Sweetie!
Thank you Alexandra!
Not too bad- the only one that didn’t totally fit me was the walk in nature one.. but that’s only because I don’t read much fantasy as of yet
I do LOVE your ideas, though!!
Thank you Kristina!
This is such a fun and creative post!! I really need to read A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder!
This is an amazing book!
