Seasonal book club - fall 🍂
In my most recent Sunday S.P.A.R.K.L.E.S., I let you guys pick which books you wanted to read as part of the seasonal book club for fall…and these were the 3 winners:
A Love Letter to Whiskey by Kandi Steiner
Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah
Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter
How does it work??
Starts the first day of FALL 🍁 Everything is go at your own pace. You can read as fast or as slow as you need and you can read 1, 2, or all 3 books, or even include the other two choices from the original poll. You have until December 20th to get your reading in before the next seasonal book club starts ❄️ I have include a few general book questions below to keep in mind as you read.
With only reading the book blurb and seeing the cover, what is your first impression?
What makes you excited to pick up this book?
Does this book remind you of anything else you have read?
What do you think is going to happen?
Is this book within a genre you normally read?
I think I will be starting with Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah. Which will you be starting with??
If you would like to show your support, please like, comment, share, subscribe, or buy me a coffee (aka book) :)

I’m heading to the farmer’s market today with a friend. I can’t wait to put on the cozy sweaters, fuzzy socks, and warm blankets! It’s been unusually warm in New Hampshire this month—around 80 every day—but now it’s starting to cool down.
I have a copy of Kristin Hannah’s Magic Hour that I picked up from one of those little roadside kiosk book-shares last year. Perhaps now is the time to read it!
Such lovely ideas for Autumn! 😊 I have enjoyed baking up homemade crumbles with all of the rhubarb we have had here on the croft. We have even had some early pears here too, so poached pears and custard it was! 🤍
