With the fall leaves almost gone and daylight saving time behind us in the US, I thought it’d be a good time to look at some of my favorite fall reads. The nights are getting longer and the weather cooler, so what better thing is there to do than to curl up with a good book and read for those few extra hours of darkness? I missed the boat on Halloween reads, but I’ve included a bonus list at the end of some great Halloween reads!

October Recap 2019
It’s fall y’all! Although, in New England it’s rapidly approaching winter with how fast the leaves are changing. We made what has apparently become our annual trip up to Northern(ish) Maine to spend a quite weekend getting ready for all the holiday travel and to of course see the leaves changing colors. It was well worth the drive even if the house we rented was just past the peak leaf-peeping line. We stayed in Rangeley, Maine in the lakes region and visited UMaine Farmington on one of the days we were up there.
September Recap 2019
Kicked off the end of August and beginning of September with a long weekend up in Acadia National Park, Maine so thought I’d include a beautiful sunrise photo to wrap up the month.
Work has moved into full speed for the season, so I’m surprised I read as much as I did. I’ve also spent time reading longer articles on my to be read list (aka my Instapaper app), some of which have been there since January! I’m reading plenty of longer pieces (45-90 minutes reading time) and the good part about it is that I’ve read a wide range of articles from (closeted) gay neo-Nazis to millennials as the burn out generation, and weirdly this puts less stress on my goal of reading a nonfiction book every month.
August Recap 2019
I think I’ve had a quintessential New England August, all that’s really missing was the Cape and/or the beach. Knowing how many people would be going that direction as summer winds down we went to the opposite direction to western Massachusetts and north to Maine. I’ll get to all of this at the end of the post, because we also saw “BODY WORLDS & The Cycle of Life” at the Museum of Science – Boston, “Gender Bending Fashion” at the Museum of Fine Arts, and John Williams night at Tanglewood. SO MUCH CULTURE.
July Recap 2019
I have no idea how August is here. I mean July was super busy and I actually got to read a lot, so I do, but summer feels almost as if it’s done even though I know we have another month (holiday wise) and almost two according to the seasons, but whoa time, slow down please. In July we went to Texas and the beach (why, it’s soooo hot??!?!) which allowed me to read a lot. Continue reading “July Recap 2019”
