What's your favorite Halloween movie? 🎃 Okay, so "Hocus Pocus" is way up there for me, but my absolute number one is Disney's animated "The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad." And yes, that movie is part of the reason I love and collect different editions of The Wind in the Willows. But this time of year, it means I'm all about Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman. So naturally, I screamed when I saw @loveyoumorestudio was making a sleeve with this fabulous printed fabric. . . Anyway, I'm obsessed with it and there's a big double restock happening today, so watch the @loveyoumorestudio feed for details & use my code NOVEL10 to save on every order. . . #loveyoumorestudio #booksleeve #legendofsleepyhollow #thelegendofsleepyhollow #washingtonirving #classicbooks #classichorror #halloweenbooks #halloweenvibes #halloweenreads #booksandpumpkins #fallreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIDd8WghvM/?igshid=193f3zwwf9aye

Do you like going to the pumpkin patch? 🎃 My husband & I have gone together every year since we first started dating; it's one of our favorite annual traditions! Pumpkins, hay rides, apple cider donuts ... it's all just so much fun. We're heading out to our favorite pumpkin patch later today, but we have a 2nd trip planned to take our 4yo niece later this month. . . PUMPKINHEADS by @rainbowrowell & @faitherinhicks is such a sweet, charming graphic novel, and captures everything I love about fall and going to the pumpkin patch. It's a quick read & perfect for this time of year. . . Cozy knit thigh highs from @peonyandmoss - NOVEL10 to save!

Happy Friday! Such a happy relief of a day 🎃 . This weekend I’m reading a dystopian SciFy story called Trash Lands. I loved the first book by Alison Stein, so taking on her next book even with my overfull schedule was just something I had to do. . Book blurb: A few generations from now, the coastlines of the continent have been redrawn by floods and tides. Global powers have agreed to not produce any new plastics, and what is left has become valuable: garbage is currency. . In the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become, Coral is a “plucker,” pulling plastic from the rivers and woods. She’s stuck in Trashlands, a dump named for the strip club at its edge, where the local women dance for an endless loop of strangers and the club's violent owner rules as unofficial mayor. . Amid the polluted landscape, Coral works desperately to save up enough to rescue her child from the recycling factories, where he is forced to work. In her stolen free hours, she does something that seems impossible in this place: Coral makes art. . When a reporter from a struggling city on the coast arrives in Trashlands, Coral is presented with an opportunity to change her life. But is it possible to choose a future for herself? . Told in shifting perspectives, Trashlands is a beautifully drawn and wildly imaginative tale of a parent's journey, a story of community and humanity in a changed world. . What are you going to do this weekend? . The weather will be turning cooler this weekend , so it’s time to bring in the fruit trees. I’ve also noticed that the 2nd story deck they are on has reached the point of needing to be replaced. When your cat starts bringing in pieces of the deck that is a sure indicator. . . . . #allthebooksoct21 #booksandpumpkins #currentlyreading #currentread #weekend #weekendvibes #netgalley #netgalleyreads #trashlands #alisonstein #scifi #dystopian #scify #sciencefictionbooks #sciencefiction #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookbloggerlife #bookstagram #bookdragon #book #bookrecommendations #booklover #bookcoverphotography #bookstacommunity #booknerd #bookaddict #bibliophile #bibliophilelife #readmorebooks (at Lake Davidson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDKOMErqqi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Do you like going to the pumpkin patch? 🎃 It is one of our FAVORITE activities, but my husband & I weren't comfortable taking the babies to a public patch this year because of the 'rona, so we made our own in the backyard! We planted pumpkins over the summer, and then decided we needed MORE pumpkins, so we got a bunch during our weekly grocery pick-up. We ended up having a blast. We had photo ops, a mini "hayride" on my niece's toy tractor, crafts, homemade apple cider donuts, and wrapped it up by roasting hot dogs over our firepit. . . If you want more pumpkin patch fun, this book is a great way to share the magic of Halloween pumpkins with the littles in your life. . . #FearYourNovel - Pumpkins #betweenthelookingglass - books & pumpkins . . #bookinhand #booksandpumpkins #pumpkinsandbooks #picturebook #kidlitbooks #kidlit #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #childrensbooks #childrensbookstagram #candlewickpress #halloweenbooks #halloweenreads #fallbooks #fallreads #fallintobooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CGfqjHmgrMx/?igshid=15g13r76sryiu

I had to share an autumn theme photo; I couldn't help myself. 😁 It's day 2 of Strayborn's release and blog tour! Elemental Manipulation. Only those with the power can train to become a Draev Guardian. Cyrus Sole hates life. She’s only half-human, with weak wrists, and not a day goes by when someone doesn’t say something mean about it—especially her step-mom. But when the forbidden power to manipulate metal awakens inside her, she finds herself on the run as the Argos Corps are sent to kill her… Aken is a Scourgeblood, the last in a line of monsters. But all he really wants is to gain wings and be free. Until a new power suddenly awakens, changing the course of his life… The Draev Guardian Academy is their only sanctuary. But training to become a Draev won’t be easy. Cyrus has to hide her human side, as she gets placed in Floor Harlow with the outcast students, and nightmares of her deceased mother keep returning. With creepy Corpsed on the prowl, and whispers of Cyrus possibly being a reborn Hero, both she and Aken find themselves caught up in a web of secrets, racial tension, and an old legend with enemies that could spell their untimely demise… #bookstagram #bookgiveaway #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #booksandpumpkins #cozyinoctober19 #bookphoto #shelfie #bookpic #newbooks #newbookreleases #octoberreads #october2019bookrelease #booktober #wildadventuresoct19 #immortaloct2k19 #hallowreads19 #literaryromanceoctober #anelementaloctober #bookbookowlspooktober https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pwhMJAzUh/?igshid=1af25rg6qluon

What's the weather like in your part of the world? 🌧 We're fully into sweater weather here in Oregon, with a lot of cloudy & rainy days lately. I know I'll get sick of it eventually, but right now I'm loving it. . . This weather always feels like perfect reading weather to me: get cozy clothes on, sip a hot drink, light a candle (like this one from @wanderlightscandleco), and crack open a book. . . #FearYourNovelNovember - Sweater Weather . . #bookfan #bookishcandle #wanderlightscandleco #booksandpumpkins #bookgram #mybookishlife #readinglife #readinglifestyle #readersofinstagram #bookishlife #booklifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/BpukZDwHZvr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qtpdbat7d08s
