Autumn Reading List

     I'm not too sure when this blog stopped being about health and wellness, but it's about to take on a new chapter. And by chapter, I mean a seasonal book club/reading list. Yes, I made a book pun. Sue me. Basically I'm just going to share books that I either love to read or will be reading that have a sort of Halloween/Thanksgiving/Fall in general vibe. So without further rambling, here it is :


     1. Frankenstein - Mary Shelley

      I've wanted to read this for years, and never actually gotten around to it, so I've decided this is the year I finally will. I'm a big fan of Halloween in general, but classics like Frankenstein are my favourite so I am definitely excited to read the book.

     2. Pride And Prejudice - Jane Austen

     Now, this one doesn't really have anything to do with fall, but it is all about family and relationships which is why I think it's nice to read around Thanksgiving when you're potentially being forced to be around family that you may not particularly like. If there's one thing the Bennett's taught me, it's to be thankful for my mother.

     3. Carrie - Stephen King

     I mean, Stephen King has to be on this list, right? I grew up watching the movie Carrie (thanks for the nightmares, mom) and it's been on my reading list for quite awhile, so I think that it's finally the perfect time to read it.

    4. Phantom - Susan Kay

    This is another book whose film adaptation I grew up watching. It's actually one of my favourite movies, so if you like musicals and haven't watched it, you probably should. I only just found out that this was a book, so I am incredibly excited to read it.

    5. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson

    Another classic that I have been meaning to read foreverrrrr. This story has influenced so many different movies, TV specials, and books, so I am definitely thrilled to finally read the original.

     6. Balefire - Cate Tiernan

     Okay so this one is a series, but there's only four of them and they're not too long. It is definitely one of my favourite modern witch series. I'm not even sure how to describe it because it is quite complex, but I promise that they are great books especially around this time of year.

     7. The Harry Potter Series - J.K. Rowling

     I feel like if I left this off the list, I might get struck by lightening. I honestly put off reading the Harry Potter series for years, and now that I've finally finished, I wish I had it in my life way sooner. It's just the most magical and wonderful book series. Ever. If you haven't read it, stop living under a rock. If you have read it, read it again, because you know you want too.

 

     I really hope this list inspires you to curl up on a crisp night with a soft blanket, a cup of tea and a great book. That's definitely how I'll be spending my nights! Have any books you think I'd love? Leave it in the comments!
