Fall Weather and Books to Curl up With!

I saw a post today about the cool weather making its way to NWA, and it got me to thinking...What are my favorite things about fall?

* The Smells (Fires burning, rain, cool air, cinnamon smell)
* The Colors (red, brown, orange, yellow)
* My Birthday
* Coats/Jackets
* BOOKS.

When I think of the different seasons, I automatically think of the books I will read. Everybody always tries to find that perfect "beach read" or "summer book." Jump on the bandwagon people! Let's get into seasonal books reads for EVERY season.
Here is my list for fall -

1. Little Women (I actually just got finished with this one, and will post later about why it is SUCH a big deal)

****** Harry Potter Preview just came ON!**************

2. Harry Potter. There is something about the back to school atmosphere of the book that just screams...FALL!

3. To Kill a Mockingbird - Always for me associated with fall, not sure why.

4. Inspirational Books like The Shack and 90 Minutes in Heaven - The English teacher inside of me says it's because seasons are associated with the circle of life, and fall is like that age where we know we are getting old. I guess a good time for reflection.

I am sure that there are many more that I could list...mentally I am already preparing for winter. Its like a bear eating a lot in order to survive hibernation. I must read a lot in order to survive.....Life?
