Activities
1. Support indie bookstores
Since fall is filled with so many new book releases, take the time to support your local independent bookstores! My local bookstore is offering curbside pickup, and it has an online database with new and used books you can purchase.
Another way to support independent bookstores is through Bookshop.org, a giant online bookseller that distributes its profits to indie bookstores (it’s already raised $6.5 million since January!).
Use the search bar below to find your favorite books on Bookshop.org!
2. Listen to an audiobook while you drive through streets filled with autumn leaves or Halloween decorations.
3. Decorate or carve a book-themed pumpkin.
4. Make a recipe from a meal featured in a book, like Daphne’s banana bread in Big Summer.
5. Stay in and watch a film adaptation of a book you’ve already read (or one you haven’t)! Check out a great list of books turned into movies here.
