The leaves are turning bright reds and golds as the weather gets cooler and the days get shorter - fall is here! The ideal time of year to curl up with a good book and unwind. So that you can enjoy autumn to the fullest, we have put together the best suggestions for your autumn to-do list that will make your book-loving heart beat faster.
1. Discover culinary autumn delights
Autumn also brings culinary delights – from pumpkins to apples to mushrooms. Combine your reading experience with a cozy cooking evening! Try new fall recipes to enjoy during your reading breaks. Literary cookbooks that could inspire you are a perfect match.
2. Set up a cozy reading corner
Autumn is the time to wrap yourself in a cozy blanket, armed with a cup of hot tea or cocoa, and immerse yourself in an exciting book. Why not create your own cozy reading corner? A comfortable reading chair, a soft blanket and lots of pillows create the perfect feel-good atmosphere. Don't forget to set up a good reading lamp - preferably a dimmable one that makes reading easier in dim autumn light.
3. Join or start book clubs
Why not use the autumn season to exchange literary ideas? Join a book club or start your own! Whether in a cozy group at home or virtually over the Internet – exchanging information about books you have read enriches your reading experience immensely.
4. Audiobooks for autumn walks
The fresh autumn air invites you to take long walks. Why not listen to an audio book and enjoy nature at the same time? Audiobooks offer the perfect combination of exercise and literature. They allow you to immerse yourself in foreign worlds while exploring the beautiful landscape. This makes every walk a doubly enriching experience.
5. Discover book teas
Is there anything nicer than a hot cup of tea while reading? Autumn is the ideal time to try new types of tea. Whether spicy black tea Rwanda, fruity blueberry or sweet orange that brings back childhood memories – there is something for every taste. A cup of tea also provides pleasant warmth on cool autumn evenings. With each cup you can immerse yourself in a new world of taste and enjoy the moment.
6. Rediscover classics
Autumn often awakens the need for timeless stories. Why not rediscover the classics of literature? Whether Jane Austen, Charles Dickens or the Brontë sisters – these works are always worth reading. An additional highlight: many classics are now also available as beautifully designed hardcover editions, which are perfect for your home library.
7. Enjoy autumn literature
Autumn serves as inspiration for many authors’ works. Books like "Autumn" by Ali Smith or "The Legend of Autumn" by Phil Rickman are a perfect fit for the season. But scary book titles also reach their peak in the golden autumn. Thrillers and horror novels create the perfect Halloween atmosphere.
8. Visit literary festivals
Autumn is also the time of book fairs and literary festivals. Even though you can't attend all of them in person and many events take place virtually, they offer a wonderful opportunity to discover new books and authors and to take part in exciting readings and discussions.
9. Preparing book gifts
