Happy new season everyone. Are you ready for the Fall season? I know I am. I love spring and summer a lot, but I also like Fall because it is the season to get cozy. Sure, it will also probably mean that it is going to rain the next 8 months, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have fun and enjoy this season.
Things I want to do this fall
Read books
I have a lot of books I want to read this fall and I really hope I can find the time to read most of them. Fall is the perfect season for reading books. I can see myself sitting in my comfy chair or on my couch/bed with a blanket, a cup of tea, and my Kobo e-reader. In general, I love to read romance, but I always pick romance novels that fit the season. So in summer, I mostly read summer romance novels and in fall I read mostly romance with fall vibes.
These are a couple of books I want to read this season:
Pumpkin spice & everything nice – Katie Cicatelli -kuc
The Pumpkin Spice Cafe – Laurie Gilmore
The Cinnamon Bun Book – Laurie Gilmore
My Roommate is a vampire – Jenna Levine
Tricked October – Starla Dekruyf
Her favorite Jack o lantern – Rebecca Rennick
Walk more
I am the kind of person who thinks that fall is one of the most beautiful seasons. Nature is so beautiful and colorful. Every fall I tell myself I am going on more walks, but instead of actually doing it, I stay home instead and use any kind of excuse. But not year! I force myself to go outside for a short or long walk, even when it rains. I bought an umbrella, so I can’t use the rain as an excuse anymore.
Celebrate Halloween
Here in the Netherlands, we don’t really celebrate Halloween. I mean, there are Halloween-themed parties at some places and you can buy Halloween stuff at one store, but it is not a big thing. Not like in the USA at least. I am also one of those people who loves Halloween but doesn’t like horror books/movies. So I celebrate it in my own way with a fun Halloween movie, Halloween candy/food, and read a cute romance novel with a Halloween theme.
Bake more
In summer it can be too warm to bake anything at all. The kitchen gets pretty warm and there is no air conditioning in this house. But in fall it is not too warm but also not too cold. It is the perfect season to bake.
I definitely want to make something Halloween-themed, but I also want to bake some cakes. I am not the biggest fan of pie, but I always like cake.
Watch cozy movies
If it is storming outside, I probably want to stay inside. I mostly like to watch romance, but there are so many great movies to watch in fall.
Cozy movies I want to (re)watch this fall
Sweet Home Alabama
When Harry met Sally
You’ve got Mail
Little Women
Autumn in New York
Learn how to play the Ukelele
So I bought an ukelele this summer, which is pretty cool. I found it at the local thrift store. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the ukulele. The plan was to learn it over the summer, but it never happened. But I really want to start playing this fall.
Other things I want to do this Fall
And of course, there are more things I want to do this fall. I want to take little trips on my days off, I want to go through my closet and get rid of everything I don’t wear anymore, I want to find a new phone (hopefully a great black Friday deal), and I want to get my space a little cozier since I am probably going to spend a little bit more time inside.
