Studious Saturday: It’s Finally Fall Book Tag
Autumn is here once again (although with a slight delay as always here in sunny Madrid) and so is the perfect weather to snuggle up under a blanket with a book. Amanda tagged me in the It’s Finally Fall Book Tag. Thank you, Amanda! For those of you who haven’t come across her blog before, she recently shared some very insightful tips for bloggers and writes great reviews so go and check out her blog! I am not sure who created this book tag but please comment if you know so I can link back to them.
I am excited to share with you some of my favourites perfect for rainy weather. Enjoy reading!
IN FALL, THE AIR IS CRISP AND CLEAR | NAME A BOOK WITH A VIVID SETTING!
I just loved the imagery and vivid descriptions in The Night Circus so much. I haven’t read a book that surpasses the setting since this one.
NATURE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO DYING | NAME A BOOK THAT IS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, BUT ALSO DEALS WITH A HEAVY TOPIC LIKE LOSS OR GRIEF.
I recently received The Coordinates of Loss as an ARC and was blown away by how well the author handled the complex topic of grief.
FALL IS BACK TO SCHOOL SEASON | SHARE A NON-FICTION BOOK THAT TAUGHT YOU SOMETHING NEW.
Quiet explores how introverts fit in our society and is a thought-provoking and extremely interesting book.
IN ORDER TO KEEP WARM, IT’S GOOD TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE PEOPLE WE LOVE | NAME A FICTIONAL FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD/FRIEND-GROUP THAT YOU’D LIKE TO BE A PART OF.
I have so much admiration for Durell and I would love to be a part of his animal family. I can imagine it being so much fun!
FALL IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR SOME STORYTELLING BY THE FIRESIDE | SHARE A BOOK WHEREIN SOMEBODY IS TELLING A STORY.
My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologies is a charming story told from the perspective of 7-year-old Elsa. It is unique and the storytelling is just wonderful.
THE NIGHTS ARE GETTING DARKER | SHARE A DARK, CREEPY READ.
This book was really not what I was expecting after reading the description. It is dark and twisted and hard to take in all at once.
THE DAYS ARE GETTING COLDER | NAME A SHORT, HEARTWARMING READ THAT COULD WARM UP SOMEBODY’S COLD AND RAINY DAY.
Not especially short but highly entertaining and the perfect heartwarming read!
FALL RETURNS EVERY YEAR | NAME AN OLD FAVOURITE THAT YOU’D LIKE TO RETURN TO SOON.
Perhaps my favourite book ever written, And the Mountains Echoed is one that I would definitely like to re-read soon.
FALL IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR COZY READING NIGHTS | SHARE YOUR FAVOURITE COZY READING ACCESSORIES!
A warm drink and a thick blanket! I don’t really need much more than that!

Another great post, Darina! I loved Quiet – as a pronounced introvert, I appreciated Susan Cain’s explanation of how introverted people view the world. As for And the mountains echoed – yes, a fantastic Hosseini masterpiece and I would love to be able to read it again soon.

Thanks! Yes, Quiet is a very powerful book and so is And the Mountains Echoed. I hope Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini is just as good!
Darinda (Nightcap Books)
Thank you for tagging me! Enjoyed reading your suggestions. I’ve read one of these, and own another 3 of them. Hopefully, I can read them soon… maybe this Fall! 😊

Thanks for the tag! I haven’t read any of these. I think I would like Bricking It 🙂

You did such a good job with this one, Darina- so creative! I see so many books I want to read, and I noticed some, like the Backman, have completely different titles in the US version which is really fun. Ours is called “My Grandmother Says She’s Sorry.” I hope you’ve been having a great weekend!

Thanks! Oh I didn’t realise that so many of them have different titles? I understood that it only applies to the covers. I am not sure if I prefer My Grandmother Says She’s Sorry based on the events in the book but it sure is different!
