With summer drawing to a close, I am ready to embrace
the cool breeze of autumn! From the changing of the leaves to kids running off
to school, fall symbolizes a fresh transition. Many associate the season with
candle shopping, hay rides, and layered jackets. However, to me, the crisp
winds and longer nights provide the perfect cozy atmosphere to fall in love
with a good book. It is also the season to delve into spooky genres for those
chilly nights in. I personally enjoy a good thriller, mystery, or suspenseful
novel to get me into the ambiance of fall! Now is the perfect time to stock up
on reading material to relax with your seasonal drink of choice. We, at Get
Literary, are celebrating autumn’s arrival with some bookish quotes attributed
to a few brilliant literary minds. Have a great fall and enjoy the harvest moon!
