13 Bookish Things To Do This Fall



 It's the first week of October, and you know what that means, we all go fall crazy! 
Today I want to share 13 bookish things to do this fall to get you in the spirit. 




Find books about real haunting stories and myths about places near you. If you live in the south I know first hand you won't have trouble finding material. After finishing your research, go to the place, or see if there are tours you can take.  


Find a new warm drink to sip on while reading. If you need a new recipe I have the perfect crock pot cider recipe here.


To me this is when Bookstagram really comes alive. I love all the darker tones, the lights, candles, it's all perfect. Need some inspiration? Here is what I've done so far with my fall theme. 

Let's be friends on Instagram! You can find me @bookstothetea


Instead of just putting regular plan pumpkins, show off your book love by making literary themed pumpkins. Carve out book shapes, Harry Potter inspired designs, etc. 




Create a book club with friends or online. This is the season for books being published so you won't be short on choices. If a book club is too intense you can do a buddy read instead! Find a friend that likes to read and pick a book to read together. If it goes well you can keep it going, and start with lighter fall reads, and towards Halloween you can read darker themed books! 



Spice up your bookshelf! Fall is the reading prime time. Make your bookshelves a focal point. Spend the day making yourself a cozy place to read, and inspiring bookshelf decor. Instagram is a great place to get inspiration! Use hashtag like #Bookshelfgoals, #bookshelftour #shelfie 
I guarantee that you will find inspiration when using these hashtags. 
Bonus:
Instead of decorating for fall the average way, decorate the literary way! 
Go on Pinterest and find Harry Potter themed Halloween DIY decor. write down the materials you need, and spend a day or two making inexpensive, creative, and unique decor. 



Now curl up in your new cozy nook near your goal worthy bookshelves, and reread a favorite book. If you want to be Instagram worthy you can add your hot beverage and snag a picture before you dive into your beloved read. 


Gather up your fall TBR, a blanket, fuzzy socks, beverages, and snacks. Have yourself a reading marathon. If you want to have more fun with it, you can invite others to join you. Announce your reading day on Instagram, Twitter, your blog, etc. Show off your TBR, and give details about when you will start and stop. You can do reading sprints and check ins  on twitter.

There are so many bookish tea, candle, and decor shops around the web. Find a few new fall teas and candles to try! 



It's never too early to start writing your holiday bookish wishlist! Serf your favorite blogs for book recommendations and add some to your list. 



Find creepy poems to pass out along with a piece of candy to your older trick-or-treaters.
I highly recommend Edgar Allen Poe. I know we all would love to pass out books for Halloween, but I can't imagine how expensive that would be!



Start working on your Halloween costume. I know that the majority of us like to dress up as a book character, and those costumes are hard to find. I have a friend that makes her costumes from scratch every year, and they always turn out amazing! She even enters the contests where you can win money, and she seriously wins every year!



Finding your next fall read can be tricky. Make sure to check out my fall recommendations post.


There is my 13 bookish things to do this fall. I would love to hear some ideas you may have. What are some of your favorite books to recommend during the fall? Are you adding any of these ideas to your fall bucket list? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below.
Happy fall reading,

Healthy Reading Snacks

If you are anything like me you love to snack. As I have mentioned on here before I have been working hard to change my eating habits. So here are some healthy snack ideas that you can try next time you are wanting a nice snack to munch on while reading a great book. Frozen Grapes  The first one if the easiest. You take grapes, wash them, put them in a freezer friendly container, and then put them in the freezer. I like to leave them in the freezer for at least 3 hours. Over night is best. Quick tip: If you have a soar throat frozen grapes feel AMAZING on your throat. My mom use to make them for me when I had strep throat.  If you want something sweet but don't want the guilt, this tea is for you. It is rich and chocolaty with a little kick, and no ingredients that are bad for you.  This is a black tea so it has CAFFEINE. In case you cannot see the tea's name it is Numi Indulgent Tea Chocolate Spice  Zucchini Pizza  What You need : One Me...

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that...

Review: Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

Title: Becoming Alpha  Author: Aileen Erin  Genre: Paranormal Fantasy  Pages: 267 Goodreads Overall Rating: 4.11 Published:  December 17th, 2013 by Ink Monster, LLC   My Rating:  I can’t do that. I can’t turn my emotions off and on like that. I’m either all in or all out. And if you can’t do that—if I don’t come first, then for God’s sake, leave me alone. Becoming Alpha is the true definition of YA paranormal fantasy and I devoured it. Erin took troupes that are known in YA and ran with them in fun, plausible, and exciting ways while taking her own spin on them. I sped through this book and right after I downloaded the next book in the series because I couldn't wait for the two-day shipping of the physical book.  At the beginning of the book, we meet our main character Tessa and her family. Tessa has an unusual gift and it has marked her as the odd girl out at and causing her to feel isolated. With her family...
