  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons, It's that time of year again. Seasonal Book Tags are some of my favorite posts. It's a fun way for the reading community to get together and share their favorite ways to spend the season.           1. What book always reminds you of fall/autumn? Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury 2. What is your favorite autumnal book cover? I love covers with oranges and reds. Fall leaves and pumpkins always add to the coziness of the season. 3. What is your favorite autumnal drink to read with? I love apple cider and pumpkin spice coffee. I usually have a piping hot mug of each when I read in the Fall. 4. Do you prefer to read late at night or early in the morning? I love reading during the daytime.

What is the ultimate comfort read for...
