I was tagged to take part in the Autumn Book Tag by Emily @Emily the Book Nerd. Thanks for the tag Emily!

This tag was created by Jenn @Jenniely, all tag headers used in this post are from her original tag.
Hot Chocolate: What is your comfort book?
My favourite type of comfort read is typically a cute contemporary YA with a romantic storyline. Especially anything with fake dating or enemies to lovers.

Pumpkin Carving: What is your favourite creative outlet?
I enjoy sewing, knitting and colouring…I wish I was artistic enough that I could draw or paint from scratch but I’m not, so colouring has really been something quite therapeutic in my life.

Falling Leaves: Changes that appear bad that you secretly love.
Every Spring I get sad because here in the Northern Hemisphere the constellation Orion disappears from view… Orion is my fav constellation. I just love gazing up at him in the Winter night sky… so I am sad when I can no longer see him… But then it’s also a good thing because it means the warmth of summer is on its way. So on hand it’s a change I dislike but on the other it means that brighter, sunnier days are on the horizon.

Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Something you love that others tend to judge.
I think a lot of people judge YA and women’s fiction. And I unabashedly love both!!!!!!!!

Bonfire Night: What makes you explode with joy?
My dog. She brings me such happiness. I just love her with all my heart.

Fright Night: Favourite scary book or film.
I do not like scary films and/or books. I get nightmares if I watch or read anything too scary.

Halloween Candy: Favourite sweets to eat.
Strawberry laces and wine gums.

Scarves: Your Autumn must have accessory.
Well this seems a cop out considering the prompt but it is indeed a scarf!! I always have a scarf either wrapped around me or tucked into my bag in Autumn.

Fire: A book or film that burns your soul.
I was completely moved by A Line Made by Walking by Sara Baume. It touched me so deeply that I feel its words are carved on my heart and burned into my soul.

Toffee Apples: A book or film that seems one thing but really has a different inside.
I think on the surface a book like The Fault in Our Stars by John Green seems very typical of a YA contemporary but underneath all the romance is truth. Truth of how being sick as a teenager alters your world viewpoint.

That was a fun tag!!! Feel free to do this tag for yourself and if you do pingback to this post so I can read your answers.

this is such a fun tag!! i’m definitely going to do it. i definitely agree with you about ya and women’s lit they get such a bad rep but they’re just so nice and soothing and read. I wish you would give horror some love *nudge nudge* it’s not tooooo bad.

I agree with you on YA. A librarian was definitely judging me for my choices 🤣😅 I haven’t read much Women’s lit but I can see why it would get a bad rep. Great answers, Emer!

That sweets gif!!! ❤ All of the gifs/pics in this post actually, very cute and fun post idea. Your thoughts on The Fault In Our Stars make it sound pretty interesting, picked up that title several months ago and have TBR'd it for a while.
