Hello to all! Are you participating in #blogtober? It’s a month of blog prompts organised by Anniek’s Library and The Library Looter!
The prompt for October 3rd is the bookish autumn bucket list! I love autumn and it’s the best time for reading! There’s nothing like curling up under a warm blanket with a book and a warm cup of tea! What else does a person need from life? Read the rest to find out!
🍂 Try a new tea flavour while reading!
I LOVE TEA. And I was super lazy and boring with it lately. I only brew tea from teabags (I know! I know!) and it’s usually the same thing… So I want to get some cool new teas and try them out soon! And get them in leaf form this time, of course!
🍂 Get some autumn themes pics for my bookstagram
I’ve been posting so rarely here last month but my bookstagram is even more abandoned. Well, I have been busy with other things and you can’t always have time for everything but I want to get some cute pictures for October to make up for it. And what’s prettier than colourful leaves and books? Or endless tea in cute mugs? Autumn is the greatest time for aesthetic and I’m planning on using it to the fullest!
🍂 Reading something spooky!
Halloween! October is the month of spooky! Witches! Ghosts! Vampires! Will I reread Carmilla? Get some paranormal romance for old times sake? Find some comic? Will I go all out for the dark vibe or will I choose some adorable witches? Why not all of those?? We’ll see if I have time for that but a girl can dream…
🍂 Witchy reading playlist
Lately I’ve been super into making playlists so why not? It’s super relaxing and I love organisation so playlists are like categorisation of your music taste sort of if that makes sense! And it a great way to find some new sounds! A new playlist would be a fun way to get that spooky autumn spirit going, too!
🍂 Write some spooky poetry
I still have some poetry from last autumn I haven’t edited (well, maybe the autumn spirit will make me finally go through this rip…) but there’s never too much, I guess? Maybe I’ll write some other stuff too or get ready for NaNoWriMo and then write something else but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
🍂 It’s Inktober so let’s work on our art!
I got back to art recently and I have some ideas for new pieces so hurray! How does that relate to books, you ask? Some of those pieces are fanart or bookmarks so tune in! I’ll post pics here or on my twitter
What do you have planned for this autumn?? Are you participating in #blogtober? Comment & share your links!

Great bucket list! I’m hoping to read some more LGBTQ+ books this Autumn.

Love your list! I especially love that you want to try a new flavor of tea while reading – great idea! You must be an awesome artist – writing poetry and drawing! Good luck with your list this month!

Ah! I love tea so much! It’s such a hastle to make it properly though so I have all those cute jars full of leaves and I still go for teabags in rush…
Hah, the truth is my skills diminished because I stopped practicing and now I’m trying to get back to it lol! And it’s more frustrating than learning it in the first place… But thanks! ❤

This sounds like it will be such a great October!
I’d love to take autumnal photos – but so far it’s mostly been grey and dismal. Where are all the reds and oranges at? I guess the grey works perfectly for a more monotone, graveyard ‘everything is dead’, emo Tumblr girls circa 2014.
I’ve been trying so hard to find some perfect Halloween style background noise for whilst I’m doing work. If you have any recommendations I’d love to know. Also; playlists are the best. I’d love to see what you create and what songs are on!
Good luck with the poetry and inktober! Sounds like it will be a busy month, but so rewarding too!

Haha! I just collected some leaves, pumpkins, and chestnuts and I’m working with that at home! Though it would be nice to get out and do a photoshot in the forest
I just realised that I created this thing some time ago? Hopefully it will fit your tastes! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5ZA202H1zELwzrIlgdtVkl
Thank you!! So far no poetry but I drew something every day so we’re going strong! 🙂

Ooh, I’ll give it a listen now – thank you!
I wish I could take part in inktober, but my drawings all end up a little bit wonky or wrong! Hope the rest of the month is good!

No problem!
Oh, that’s the best reason to join Inktober! I had such a long break from art my art is far from what I want it to be but a daily practice helps a lot. I’ll only post the highlights in my wrap up though because I’m not sharing the ugly ones lol
