november reading list
for any of you readers out there that enjoy a good book, here is my november reading list. when the weather gets cold and i am hibernating...i love having a long list of books to enjoy all winter. there is nothing better than a blanket, a cup of tea, and a novel to lose yourself in. it is such an escape when work is stressful or life is busy. here goes...
1. beautiful ruins jess walter - the story is set in cinque terre, italy, in the 1960s, where josh and travelled on our first trip together. sold.
2. the lowland jhumpa lahiri - pulitizer prize winning author and national book award finalist. enough said.
3. life after life kate atkinson - i want to see what all the hype is about. the story sounds incredible - unending chances at a second life.
4. all that is james salter - i love his writing and if you haven't read one of his books, start with a sport and a pastime.
5. where'd you go, bernadette maria semple - i am halfway through this one and love it. so witty.
6. the signature of all things elizabeth gilbert - new book by eat, pray, love author and was well received. excited for this one.
happy reading. let me know if you have any recommendations!

five fall things
happy halloween! the title of this post should be 'girl stays in on halloween; hates herself.' the weather is terrible tonight in tennessee so we will be staying in, catching up on magazines and eating inhuman amounts of candy. i am sad to say my ideas for halloween costumes will have to wait till next year-idea one and idea two. besides tonight's weather, i love this season. i love october. it is not only my birthday month, but the most beautiful time of year and i am sad to see it go tomorrow. to celebrate october, here are five things i love about this fall and also a little peak into this past weekend.
1. front porches (cinderella pumpkins)
2. firepits and smores
3. fireplaces filled with wood...furbabies (meet sampson!!)
4. flowers - decorative kale
5. family - my sweet cousins
a few fall links from around the web. how to cozy up your home for fall. spiced pumpkin seed recipes. thirty wonderful autumn ideas. ten halloween movies to watch tonight. festive creepy cocktails for tonight.
