This week's Question: With Autumn upon us and Halloween drawing near, what books remind you of fall? What ones do you enjoy reading that are about autumn?
I do like to read books that have to do with the year's season. Not that I always do, but it's nice, especially around Christmas time. I don't necessarily 'look' for books that are associated with the season, but bookstores be it brick and mortar, online or catalogs I receive in the mail always have a way of suggesting great books that go with the season.
Since this is Fall, I don't associate it with Halloween as I'm not a huge fan of it. I think if you have younger children it's more fun, but mine are grown now. I think of the beautiful colors of Fall.
This year I happened to be on NetGalley and found a book called "Leaves" by Michael Baron! He is one of my FAVORITE AUTHORS! So I requested it, got it, and will be starting it within a few days! Here is the cover and the link to Amazon, then a nicer and larger cover!

Welcome to Oldham, CT, a small town rich in Colonial heritage while being utterly contemporary. Situated along the Connecticut River Valley, Oldham bursts with color every fall, as the leaves on its trees evolve into an unmatched palette of scarlet, orange, purple, yellow, and bronze. For more than three decades, the Gold family has been a central part of Oldham in the fall, its Sugar Maple Inn a destination for leaf-peepers” from all over the country, and its annual Halloween party a stirring way to punctuate the town’s most active month.
But this year, more than just the leaves are changing. With the death of their parents, the Gold siblings, Maria, Maxwell, Deborah, Corrina, and Tyler, have decided to sell the Sugar Maple Inn, and this year’s Halloween party will be the last. As October begins, the Golds contend with the finality that faces them, and the implications it has for a family that has always been so close. For some, it means embracing new challenges and new love. For others, it means taking on unimagined roles. And for others, it means considering the inconceivable. Complicating it all is a series of hauntings” that touch each of the Gold siblings, a series of benign interventions that will remain a mystery until October draws to a close.
Filled with romance, tension, and unforgettable family drama, Leaves is the first in a series of novels about a world and a family that readers will want to make their own.
