Cozy Fall Reading Essentials

Hi friends, 

So happy to be back with you today. Can you believe we’re into September. It’s growing into that lovely Fall season in so many places. We moved from Maryland to Florida last year, so our Autumn is definitely new and different for us. Instead of Fall leaves in bursts of orange, yellow and red outside my office window, this year I’m looking at beautiful palm trees, bright blue skies and sunshine. 

Luckily, I’m a summer girl so Florida is a perfect fit for me. However, there are so many things about Autumn I love: pumpkins, sweet apple cider with a cinnamon stick, the crispness in the air and picking fresh apples off the orchard tree.

It’s hard to believe this little guy is now 11, but we have the best memories from our pumpkin patch days.. 

Fall is also a fabulous season for reading. Kids head back to school, and the evenings get dark far quicker. It’s a great time to curl up and read. Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite cozy reading essentials for Autumn. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I do. 

First and foremost, I pick a cozy place to read: a porch swing, a comfy reading chair by the window, or a couch you can sink into by the fireplace. If you’re really lucky, you might have a special reading nook with a window seat. I’ve always wanted one. 

Then, you must have a warm and soft blanket to curl up with. Here’s my favorite. It keeps the chill of Fall away even on the porch and feels luxurious. 

You can grab the same cozy blanket for yourself over on Amazon!

Next, you must have something warm to drink. I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it’s delicious. It tastes just like Starbucks but for a fraction of the price, and it gives off a wonderful aroma for your home.

And, of course, something yummy to eat with your latte. Here’s a recipe from my Chesapeake Valor series. It’s from Still Life and one of Parker Mitchell’s favorites and mine too.

Last but not least, you need a good book to curl up with. Since I’m a suspense author, I’m recommending a few romantic suspense books to keep you glued to the page this Fall. Hope you enjoy!

Teri’s book was released a while ago, but it’s such a favorite I couldn’t leave it out of my list. If you haven’t had a chance to read it, you should check it out. It’s riveting. 

Two more of my favorite suspense authors have new releases in October. I can hardly wait. If you haven’t
