I'm in and will have to think about books.
I am in. Top of the list is IT HAPPENED ONE AUTUMN.
I haven't done one in a while so I'm in! I'll have to think about the books. But I have the same idea with It Happened One Autumn. That one is my favorite favorite! :)

Yes! That's a great story!!
I'll join in and try to remember to update my thread! Lol
I'm in... it will be 20 books connected to Autumn for me ! IT HAPPENED ONE AUTUMN is definitely a keeper ! :)
I'm in and I'm not sure what I'm going to read yet. I will definitely read It Happened One Autumn because it's the one I need to read next anyway! Other than that,I need to consider my theme.Things that make me think "Fall":
Crisp leaves
Fall colors (red, orange, yellow, brown, eggplant, hunter green)
Apples
Pumpkins
Gourds
Halloween
Trick-or-Treating
Hot Apple Cider
Cornucopia
Thanksgiving
Harvest
Sweaters
Boots
Comfort Food
Muffins
Baking
Family
Ideas:
Spell-out one of the above words; read books with covers in the colors of autumn; books with Autumn or Fall in the title; character named Autumn; book takes place in Autumn; supernatural/Halloween types of plot or characters; book published in Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec; takes place in New England or the Midwest (where leaves tend to change colors more frequently than other areas); book is predominantly about family/family ties; items on cover that remind me of fall: leaves, sweaters, boots, mug of hot beverage, pumpkins, apples, gourds, quick breads, Halloween-related, Thanksgiving-related.

I accidentally posted a September Spell-It-Out here. I moved it there... 
Okay! Danielle's doing the Sept challenge, so I hadn't seen it.

No problem! I even double-checked my count. :)
LOL!! My eyes are so bad. Seriously, bad. Without glasses, I'm all up in the monitor and using fingers to keep count. And sometimes toes.

I often use my fingers to count. I think that's why God gave us ten. :)

Oh, you mean Pi. I'm sure he knew that would happen, but anything after multiples of ten is impractical anyway. :)

that's a new one for me. Do you have an article link of something?
Nope! I'll see if my husband remembers...it had something to do with zeroes and a number being infinite...I think.
I haven't forgotten!! I will be posting later today the books. I'm in my last semester of school so I got caught up in the work! I need some fun reads! Oh, and are you all talking about the discovery of the new prime number. It's something like 16 million digits long. I only know about it because we discussed it in a course I took last semester. I'm not a math person. :)
Ariana! That's it! I knew someone would eventually have the information!
OK, I finally have my theme - I'm going to read books from my TBR that were published in Sept., Oct., Nov., or Dec. I went through my books and found 22 that fit - and no, I'm not going to try for that many! I'll start with a goal of 10 and see what happens.Will post as I go...
Awesome, BJ!
Yay! I'm glad I could help with the number.Ok here are the books I plan to read and how they fit the challenge. :) But they probably won't be in that order.
Read 3/6
Books with the Word Autumn in it
"The Autumn Bride"- Anne Gracie
Books released in the Fall
Books with covers that remind me of Fall
"The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After"- Julia Quinn
"The Bookstore"- Deborah Meyler
"It Happened One Autumn"- Lisa Kleypas"Always on My Mind"- Jill Shalvis
LOVED these books!
"The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After"- Julia Quinn
CAN'T WAIT to read this one!
I loved the Bridgertons Happily Ever After. It reminded me why I loved that series so much. Ariana, I thought the Bookstore also had a fall look to it. I'm contemplating that one and I definitely will use JQ's new release... Cannot wait! :)
Dhes, did you get to review The Sum of All Kisses?
Aly, no I have read Sum of all Wishes. Is it good?

I have it. When I finish Tessa Dares books, I'll read it.
