In the background, I have episode one of the show Virgins, and I’m trying to figure out how much of it is reality vs staged right now. Right now, I think it is 100% staged, but if you’ve watched this show and think I’m wrong, let me know. I’m still feeling off, so I bit the bullet and took the medication, so I hope it’s ok for me to do a book tag since that’s what I can manage today. The tricky part when doing tags for me lately has been finding the original creator, which I couldn’t truly find for this one. I found it on Living for Literature.
Hot Chocolate: What is your comfort book?
It used to be novels like Fake Around and Find Out by S.M. Shade (which, by the way, is still on my TBR), a funny rom-com, but right now I would go with No Place on Earth by Andrea Beatriz Arango, a middle grade by an author I love and know.
Pumpkin Carving: What is your favourite creative outlet?
Writing based on a song or a saying 😊
Falling Leaves: Changes that appear bad but you secretly love?
When the majority of people aren’t fond of a book, but I love it, like A Prison Diary Series by Jeffrey Archer. I just found out he died a few days ago.
Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Something you love that others tend to judge?
This isn’t bookish, but my family really hated that I love true-crime shows. I love the idea of people getting justice, dead or alive.
Bonfire Night: What makes you explode with joy?
A character I can relate to: I love when a character has Cerebral Palsy (which is my condition).
Fright Night: Scary Book or Film.
A book, all the way, since I get hooked way more. Without having to keep turning my head away.
Halloween Candy: favourite candy to eat.
Peanut butter cups, but the ones my sister used to make with dates and dark chocolate.
Scarves: your autumn must have accessory.
I don’t have one, but scarves are my pet peeve; I don’t like things around my neck.
Fire: a book or film that burns your soul.
The Purple Heart for a movie and for a book: The Women by Kristin Hannah.
Toffee Apple: a book or film that seems one thing but is different on the inside.
This one: I went to a bookshop, and they marked it as a 5-star bestseller, but it’s the first book I’ve ever DNF’d.
I would have loved to tag some people, but by the time this is up, I will be out for dinner.

I really enjoyed reading your Autumn Book Tag! 😊 I hope you feel better soon, and I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself. Your love for stories, especially those featuring characters you can relate to, makes this tag even more special. I also love the idea of writing inspired by songs or sayings—it’s amazing how a few words or a melody can spark creativity. Thank you for sharing your choices, and wishing you a comfortable, cozy autumn filled with good books and happy moments!
Thank you
