Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Favourite Things To Do In The Autumn


It's Wednesday, which means it's time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post, courtesy of Long and Short Reviews. The theme of the week was favourite things to do in the autumn.

Aside from snuggle under a blanket with a good book, I like to bake, do autumn-inspired crafts, knit, watch horror movies (or read horror novels), drink lots of coffee, cider and hot chocolate, do some photography of the beautiful autumn colours in nature, participate in NaNoWriMo and lots of other fun stuff.

Also, if you want some more inspiration for fun activities during the autumn, feel free to check out Fall Bucket List: 100 Things To Do In Fall at the Uncustomary blog.

    We have a lot of autumn hobbies in common! What horror movies have you seen lately? I enjoy baking and photography, too.

      It's always fun having some autumn hobbies in common. Recently, I've watched The Curse of La Llorona, The Ritual, and Sleepy Hollow (the one with Johnny Depp, when he actually was good).

    Every year on Halloween, husband and I watch "Young Frankenstein" by Mel Brooks. We like humor with with the horror. And since I crochet afghans year-round, we have plenty of them around the house, for anyone who wants to get a "hug" from my by wrapping themselves in one. I've given away about 30 or so of them, to family and friends. I let them choose the colors.

      Since you like humour with the horror and Mel Brooks, have you seen Dracula - Dead and Loving It yet? It's a totally fun horror comedy.

      And I like that you've given friends and family crochet afghans. :-)

    I agree with you on watching horror movies. It's nice to watch them when it's dark outside.

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. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? 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
