Book Tag Saturday; The Autumn Book Tag

I came across The Autumn Book Tag over at The Book Dutchesses and I decided to play along as it looked like a fun tag.

What is your favorite thing about Autumn?
Apart from colder weather and the excuse to wear knitted items, I love the colours and the possibility of snuggling up inside with a blanket, a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. I can admit that autumn is my favourite season of them all, so I do love "everything autumn" really.

What book reminds you of your school days?
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling

What cover reminds you of Autumn?
A cover that certainly reminds me of autumn is The Charm of Lost Chances by Lucia N. Davis

What is your favorite horror or Halloween story?
Dracula by Bram Stoker, what else? :-P

What is your favorite horror or Halloween movie?
I'm going to say two; Beetlejuice and The Addams Family Values.

What autumn book release are you looking forward to?
The Grave Digger by Rebecca Bischoff

What autumn movie release are you anticipating?
The new movie adaption of the horror/suspense novel "De Dødes Tjern" by Bernhard Borge/André Bjerke.

What are three books you plan to read this autumn?
There's a bunch of them, one of them are Buried in the Stacks by Allison Brook.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it.

What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
