Fall…kind of

It’s Fall! It’s also exactly as hot as it was before it was Fall. Okay, you can get away with jeans in the morning now, but you’ll still be suffering in the afternoon. I called it Slightly Less Summer on twitter the other day and I stand by that description. It feels like seasons are just slightly off from what they should be, but maybe by December it’ll be too cold to wear shorts.

The heat means nothing though. I still want to curl up under blankets and drink hot chocolate or tea while I watch Hallmark movies or read. Luckily, I’m generally cold when I’m inside. I think it has something to do with the movement of the air and not necessarily the temperature. Either way, I am able to curl up under a blanket, but no hot chocolate yet, it’s not quite cold enough for that. I’ve had some tea the past couple of days and I couldn’t be under the blanket at the same time.

Sometimes you can even smell Fall in the air when you walk outside. It’ll be 90+ degrees and I’m sniffing like I have a sinus infection because Fall is the best smell and I want to take in as much as possible.

When I went to campus a couple weeks ago I turned the AC waaaay down so I could pretend like it was really fall. I plan on doing the same the next several times I’m staying up there. I’m certainly not going to do it at home and add it to my electricity bill.

PS – I wrote this on Wednesday & today (Friday) actually felt like fall. But I think that’s because Hurricane Michael brought the cooler weather & it won’t stay that way.

Books on my Fall TBR Pile

Books on my Fall TBR Pile

 

Top Ten Tuesday is a feature currently run by That Artsy Reader Girl.

I’m really excited for this fall’s to-be-read pile, so even though I’m still unpacking from the evacuation, I wanted to be sure I did this week’s Top Ten Tuesday (more than 10, though!). Usually I’d write a blurb about why I want to read the books, but I have so much unpacking/laundry/etc to do I’m just sticking to titles & links.

I doubt I’ll read half of these, but they’re what I *want* to read. I’m clearly on a horror kick at the moment. If you know of a good horror book I should add to the list, let me know!
