You can't beat good ole Charlie Brown! The book and movie have always been a big part of the Fall/Halloween season for me and my family.

Thanks for coming by, Lisa!

Lucky you! Enjoy all that lovely color for me, won't you?

Thanks for stopping by, Lydia!

Well, I love children's books so I can't leave them out! Unfortunately, my kids are too old for picture books, so they don't get looked at much in my house. I'll have to save them for the grandkids ...

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Carla!

The Gorge is always beautiful, but in the Fall it's truly spectacular! I love Multnomah Falls in all seasons, of course - in the Fall, though? It's incredible. I agree - it's one of my favorite places on Earth. Nature is incredible, isn't it?

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kay!

Not at all! The Charlie Brown book and movie might be the best thing about Halloween :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

It's gorgeous, isn't it? I love the Armand Gamache series - great covers, great stories.

Thanks for stopping by, NickiMags!

Ha ha ha! I love pumpkin as well. Pumpkin cake bars are probably my favorite, but there's also pumpkin rolls, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin ...

I miss Fall a lot! I wish I lived in a place that had it. *Sigh*

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

Thanks! I can take credit for the top photo as I snapped it with my phone when I was out walking near the AirBnB where we stayed in New Hampshire. I stole the Multnomah Falls one off the Internet. Shhhh, don't tell! I've seen the falls tons of times and have taken lots of photos of it but not as beautiful as this one.

Thanks for stopping by!

We were in New England last year at this time and it was beautiful. So much Fall color! I loved it.

Your Fall sounds perfect. I love the rain as well as the crispness. Enjoy it for me!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cath!

Oh, good! I'm glad they capture the feel I was going for. I love Fall :)

Thanks for stopping by, Nicole!

I'm glad you enjoyed them! It was fun looking for nice, Fallish covers.

Thanks for coming by, Nicky!

Thanks, Marilyn! And thanks so much for stopping by.

We actually have this book on cassette tape (it's old) and the narration is super fun as well. I don't remember reading it as a kid, but my children LOVED it when they were little.

Thanks for coming by!

I'm the opposite. I want to forget about the heat! It's still hot here and I am SO over it. Ugh.

Thanks for stopping by, Monika!

My family and I visited New England this time last year. It rained a lot, but when it wasn't raining, we had some fabulous Fall color. The best color was in New Hampshire, but we also saw some beautiful scenes in Vermont, Connecticut, and Maine. Lucky you that you get to live there and enjoy all that beauty every day.

Thanks for coming by, Cheryl!

Right? I haven't left Arizona since February! Yikes. I'm a homebody, but even I am starting to go a little stir crazy :)

Thanks for stopping by, Leslie!

It's been 20 years since my husband dragged me to Arizona and I STILL complain about living here! The weather is just really tough for me. I need to suck it up, don't I? LOL.

I've actually never been to Santa Barbara (I've gotten close - my sister used to live in Camarillo), but I've heard it's absolutely beautiful. The pictures I've seen are gorgeous. I guess there's other scenery to compensate for not having Fall!

Thanks for coming by, Tracy!

I agree! Charlie Brown makes me happy and the books/movies have always been part of my family's holiday celebrations.

I'm going to do my Fall decorating this weekend, so that should help it feel like Fall - at least inside, where the air conditioning keeps things cool-ish :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I agree. The Penny books have great covers and great stories. She writes one of my favorite series of all time.

We do have some trees here that change color a little bit, but not many.

We were touring Yale University this time last year and there was some lovely color there, although we also got absolutely soaked from heavy rain during our tour!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

Thanks! I had fun making it.

Thanks for stopping by, Evelyn!

Me, too! Charlie Brown will always be part of my holiday celebrations :)

Thanks for coming by, Marianne!

We even have a bauble with Snoopy on it. ;)

I do love reading spooky books in the Fall! THE ORPHAN OF CEMETERY HILL is one I hope to get to soon.

Thanks for stopping by, Jessica!

Thanks! I've since seen several others I wish I had found sooner. Ha ha. Fall covers are so pretty - I can't resist :)

Thanks for coming by, Suzanne!

I don't usually read romance, but I do like Carr's books. She's especially skilled at creating quaint little towns full of warm, loving people - the exact kind of place I want to live!

Thanks for stopping by, Christopher!

I know exactly what you mean. I've been reading about so many idyllic little towns lately that I'm starting to get jealous. Reality just can't compare!

Seriously!

Right? I've never met anyone who doesn't like Charlie Brown. He's an Everyman that we can all relate to.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Katherine!

Ha ha. Right? I love the red coat and tall brown boots combo. I would totally wear that outfit!

The vintage cover is the one I remember from when I read A SEPARATE PEACE for the first time. I didn't realize there were so many others until I had to search for the one I wanted :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, RS!
