Top ten books with autumnal covers

Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Following on from last week’s introduction to autumn with our autumn TBR books, this week’s topic is also very seasonal – books covers that give off autumnal vibes. I did also try to pick books that feel vaguely autumnal, at least at certain points.

I’m pretty busy this week so I’m making this a quick post today, since the focus is on the vibe of the covers anyway! I did make a quick list at the bottom with links though in case you are interested in finding out more about any of the books.

The top six are all books I’ve read and enjoyed – including some all time favourites – and then the bottom four are on my TBR!

The Garden of Evening Mists | The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry | The Driftwood Girls
The Essex Serpent | Ghost Music | A Psalm for the Wild-Built | Strike the Zither
Jade Mountains & Cinnabar Pools | On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
The Second Death of Locke

What books make you think of autumn? Have you read any of mine? Let me know!

      I’m not usually a big crime/mystery reader (I prefer watching them), but I really liked this one, and my grandparents (who are very much crime/mystery readers) really liked it too when I gifted it to them!

    THE STORIED LIFE OF A.J. FIKRY is a great read! I enjoyed the movie, too.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

    The Essex Serpent has THE nicest cover and I really want to read that! A Psalm for the Wild-Built has a great cover for fall and I’ve also been wanting to read On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous for a while. Awesome list 😀 Thanks for visiting my blog earlier 🙂

      There was also a special edition of The Essex Serpent when it when Waterstones book of the year and that cover is also gorgeous, just a bit more wintery than autumnal! I really liked the book when I read it too.

      Thank you! And thanks for visiting mine back!

    I love how the colors of these books all seem to go together despite the differences in genre and target audience 🙂

Weekly language study update 28.7-3.8 Some language and reading plans for August! I decided to use a bingo board to make it a bit more fun and take the pressure off a bit for not completing some goals, as I'm struggling to work whilst staying at my mum's over the summer. I'll mostly be focusing on Japanese with some German and a lot of reading in Korean and Chinese. What are your study plans for August? July is over and it’s time to take a look at the studying I did this month! I didn’t really do any serious language studying in the first half of the month, with the exception of some Korean teacher training, so this is mostly from the final two weeks. I normally prefer slightly longer study sessions but sometimes a train trip is the perfect time to do a little bit of studying and a little bit of reading. Translation as a study method - the dos and don’ts Did some hiragana practice 🇯🇵 over breakfast today and then again later by the lakeside! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️ How to adapt photo description tasks for self study? I’ve been making some study plans for the summer (July/August) recently and thought I’d share. They’re a little bit ambitious, but if I can get a decent chunk done I’ll be very happy. My name is Keira, I'm 23 years old from the UK and I love learning languages. I currently work as a Korean-English translator and am preparing for my master's degree in East Asian studies (focus will be premodern history/literature/philosophy). I did my undergraduate degree in Korean and have achieved TOPIK level 6 twice 🇰🇷🇰🇷. I also studied abroad for two semesters at HUFS in Seoul.
