Hello! 
This is a reading challenge featuring autumn themed prompts for you to feel all those fall feelings! Read books from your physical TBR, library books, or new ones - it's up to you! Feel free to combine prompts! Have a lovely autumn!! 

All prompt pictures were found from Pinterest!

1. A Warm Sweater:

It's finally time to retrieve your favorite cosy sweater from the closet! Read a comforting book that will warm your heart and protect you from the cold of the season: Dirty Thirty--Janet Evanovich 

2. Mysterious Circumstances

Was that the wind howling or someone screaming from being murdered?! - Read a mystery:

Tatiana--Martin Cruz Smith

 

3. A Black Cat 

Black cats are creatures for all kinds of superstition - both good and evil. Read a book with supernatural elements!: The Silmarillion--J.R.R. Tolkien

 

 

4. "It was a dark and stormy night…" 

Fall is the time for athmospheric reading! Read a book with an autumnal, gothic or moody setting: The Midnight Club--Christopher Pike

5. Children's Cartoons:

In the colder months the couch is calling and the TV is playing. Give the screen a rest and look at pictures in a book instead. Read a graphic novel, manga or a book with illustrations!:

Orange Volume 2--Ichigo Takano

6. Trick or Treat? 

Trick - There will be a lot of witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts and other creatures and monsters knocking at your door soon! Best get ready to meet them by reading a book featuring a mythical creature or monster so that you will be prepared for all their tricks!
Treat - Halloween is a good time for all the sweet tooths (teeth?) and you are a giver of candy. The spooky scary vibes aren’t for you, so you can take a break from them by reading a lighthearted book! 

The Witch's Daughter--Paula Brackston

7. Ghosts from the Past:

Fall is mysterious and supernatural with its darkness and strange sounds. When passing by the graveyard you might meet someone who wants to tell their tale. Read a historical novel or a book featuring ghosts: Son of the Dawn--Cassandra Clare    

 

8. A Warm Soup:

We all know that soup is better when it's been stewing for a while, right? The same might apply to books! Read a book that you've been meaning to read for a while: Heart Bones--Colleen Hoover 

 

9. Old Libraries:

With school and academia starting in the autumn it is the perfect time to finally cross out that required reading. Read a classic or a book with an academic setting: One of Us is Next--Karen M. McManus 

 

10. Autumn Colors:

When the leaves turn yellow, orange, red and brown the world becomes magical. Match a book cover to the falling leaves! Feel free to combine with other prompts: Checking Out Crime--Laurie Cass 

11. Apple Picking:

Apples are known as the forbidden fruits of knowledge. Read a book about a topic you wish to learn more about!: Peril--Bob Woodward    

12. Crisp Autumn Air:

Autumn weather is severely underrated, it might be cold but it is beyond beautiful. Dress for the weather and read a book or parts of a book outside. Don't forget to bring your hot beverage of choice! Feel free to combine your outdoor adventure with other prompts!: Aurora's End--Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

 

13. The Nightmare Before Christmas:

It's November and still fall outside, but you're starting to long for another season's traditions...? Those spooky autumn tunes you've been listening to have started to become something more ...festive?
 - Don't worry, I got you. Feel free to start off the coming season in secret by reading a book not quite suited to the fall atmosphere: Once Upon a December--Amy E. Reichert
