I clicked your link to see what the book is about and I'm reposting the title as a Cover so others can see. IMHO the dress is the color of some Autumn leaves.

[Evelyne]

count me in ! I will probably update along the way.

[Jennifer]

I'm in. I'm not going to put a count on how many I'm going to read since I have no idea.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

That's what works best for me, too, Jennifer!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Ellen, the challenges turn out to be pretty easy. Just use your imagination, and there is a way you can get most books to fit the challenge. I always do a theme of the season, and I end up with more than enough books.

You can do it!

[Dina]

I'm in, of course. Since I'm out of fresh ideas, I'm going to borrow Danielle's. :) I'll post as I go, as usual.

All Things Autumn Challenge
Duration: September 23 - December 21

Goal: Read 10 or more books with aspects that relate in any way to the season of autumn, including words in the title, taking place in autumn, or character names. Even if the color suggests autumn, or they involve autumnal events.

List of possibilities:

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

OMG, DINA!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO READ UNCLAIMED! It's sooooooooooo good!

[Dina]

Yeah, I know!!! I planned to read it right after I read your review, then my brain must have had a seizure because I forgot it. No big loss, though. I'm reading Archangel's Consort and it's pretty good so far.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Ahem, **clears throat**

I'd like to pimp make mention of the 2nd Annual Lisa's Ladies' Favorites Book List Challenge taking place here: Lisa's Ladies' Halloween Challenge

I'd also like to point out that because the books you'll be reading in THAT challenge are being read in celebration of Halloween, which occurs in a Fall Autumn month, they will easily count towards THIS challenge.


Just sayin'.....

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oh, I need to catch up with the Guild Hunter series. I only read book 1 so far!

[Dina]

LOL, Dhes. I was reading the rules of the Halloween Challenge while you were posting your comment and I'm ashamed to say that I didn't understand those tricky rules. I'll have another look at them later. I think my brain is too tired today... or maybe it's as good as always and I'm a hopeless case. ;P

[Adrienne Marie]

its it necessary that I read the book before unclaimed by milan?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Dina, you're best bet is to look at my examples and Alycia has posted selections too.

Adrienne, you don't have to read the book before Unclaimed. The stories don't overlap, but you'd understand the relationship dynamic between the brothers better if you did.

[Dina]

Thanks, Dhes. I'll have a look at them. :)

P.S.: I just noticed that I'm calling you 'Dhes' now. I've always called you 'UM' before. Why did I change it? I don't know! See, my brain isn't working properly now, LOL.

[Adrienne Marie]

ok... I am going to read:
Unveiled
What I Did For a Duke
The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'll put you down for 3, Adrienne :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I don't know, Dina. To me, Dhes is easier to type then UM, plus, I've had a few people tell me that when they see someone post UM, they think that person is saying like, Ummmm.... LOL!

[❀ ℓu-ℓu-ℓuna ❀]

Oh darn it! I missed my notifs and here I am so late in the running. Oh darn it! I'm in, I'm in!! :)

Okay since I have school and grr, I can't seem to get my hands off the Laurann Dohner books and newly bought books, I'm taking my Autumn Read of:

Laurann Dohner:
Cyborg Seduction - x/6 (ooh, really excited about this!)

And some from the Lisa's Ladies' Halloween Challenge too and I promise not to repeat challenges! I'm really excited!

Thanks for inviting me!!



I might probably have only a few since I'd be busy, is that okay? :)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

No worries, Hanie! Do as many or as few and you can!

Aww, cute kitties with pumpkins Dhes!... thanks to Lisa Kay! I just read that part :)

[SANDRA]

i need help any suggestions.. I haven't made my list for this challenge? HELP!! please// :D

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

What do you like, SANDRA? Genre wise? No stressing out allowed! LOL!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

SANDRA, I'll be waiting until tomorrow to start Envy so I can count it in this challenge -

1. Envy - (published in September)

So that's one example.

List the books you want to read, regardless of whether you think they'll fit or not, and we'll help you make them fit.

[SANDRA]

LOL.. That's the thing.. I have no prejudice towards books. I will read w.e comes across my way.. lol.. :D

can't read Envy since haven't finished the second book since that one is stuck in VA.. lol

:) see my delimae how the hell do u spell that word im having brain problems today.. very slow here..

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOL!!

Okay throw the name of a book out there. What are you going to read next?

[SANDRA]

umm how about the second book of kelly armstrong darkest powers series. lol

and the fourth book of Taming the Scotsman

:D from there I"ve no idea...

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Okay, I clicked on your link and I see that Taming the Scotsman was published in September, which is one of the Autumn months. Also, that shade of green on the cover kind of reminds me of Autumn because the leaves are no longer vibrant green, but are turning kind of dull.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Okay, for The Awakening I'd count that because the first letter of the title is "A" and the first letter of Autumn is "A" too.

[SANDRA]

LOL hmm u have better imagination than I do.. lol.. ok so I guess I have two!! yay!! lol. hmm but I think I will need more than those.. :D

I hate when I'm so drained mentally n physically I hate my month visitor.. this one is gna suck! :"(

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I totally understand being mentally drained! And all you have to do is list a book and ask for help making it work! After awhile you'll get the hang of it :)

[SANDRA]

Yea I just hate it though.. :( but thanks for your help I'll try to come as often to say what I'm reading.. lol!

Oh, BJ - I like that "Added to my TBR in Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec"

That leaves things wide open!

I like that too and was wondering if it was past or present or both.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Lisa Kay wrote: "I like that too and was wondering if it was past or present or both."

And it wouldn't even matter! It's your challenge, it can be anything you want it to be!!

[SANDRA]

I think I love that idea.. might have to take it. Lol.

[BJ Rose]

You're all most welcome to it!!!

I listed things I already have, in an effort to reduce the TBR, but as with all things - subject to change!!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

See, these challenges might not be all that challenging but they do encourage creative thinking :)

And having raised 3 teenagers, I know all the loopholes to everything.

[SANDRA]

Lol as I don't have kids of me.. I'm not that creative today. Mb next week. Lol.

[Robin]

Books I Can't Count (Having started them before 9\23 but not finishing them in time for 9\22):


Books I Plan to Read for this Challenge(Since my Goal is 16 this not a complete list):
The Seduction of Scandel and In The Arms of A Marquess are K.I.S.S. and Teal Books http://www.avonromance.com/kissandteal/

[Lisa Kay]

I listened to it last week, but I wanted to let you ladies know that is perfect for Halloween. It is autumn and he goes out trick-'o-treating where there are kids in costume.

I am also listening to and it takes place in autumn and our heroine, Eve Dallas, is investigating witches. I don't know if this will culminate on All Hallows Eve or not. We'll see.

Also, thinking of listening to
, by Agatha Christie.

No, just try to make it fit the Autumn theme. Some people are using books published in Autumn, some are using books with autumn colored covers.... make it fit however you can.

[E.]

Ahahahaha...I might as well finish the seasons. Thus, this is the last season that I hadn't participated in. Who knows, I might sign up for the next Winter challenge again.

Anyway...

1. Viscount Breckenridge to the Rescue (published in Sept.)- Currently Reading


Due to life's intrusions, just like in the Spring challenge, I'm not going to put a count to my reading. Let's just say that I'm aiming to get as much reading as I can during this challenge.
