I have once again found myself at the library, which I am sure comes as no surprise to you, Reader. As I have said many times, I am a frequent user of the library, and I often end up carting home a bunch of books that I am interested in reading. I admit, however, that sometimes I run out of time to read the complete load I bring home, and then I have to look into renewing. I am more than happy to return books if I am unable to renew them because it just means I will check them out at another time. Reader, are you a member of your local library? Are you even a fan of the library? I would be interested to hear. Let me jump right into this little haul I have here. You will notice that below each title I will include the Goodreads link so that you are able to look the books up if they look interesting to you.
Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks as the Illustrator
I have seen this book on booktube for years now, and I have always been interested in picking it up. I wanted to wait for autumn to read it so I am just now getting to it. The illustrations in this book are simply beautiful. If you love autumn colors and all the vibes then this book might be of interest to you. Oh did I mention it is a graphic novel as well? I love a good graphic novel especially when the illustrations are fantastic.
The Book Jumper by Mechthild Glaser
The cover of this book drew me in because it is so interesting. I had also never heard of it, but when I saw that the synopsis mentions jumping into stories, I was sold. I found this book in the young adult section of my library because, let me be honest, I enjoy young adult books along with middle grade and picture books. I guess what I am trying to say is I look at pretty much all the sections of the library, not just the adult section. Reader, have you heard of this book or even of this author? Needless to say, I am eager to read it.

Miss Morgan’s Book Brigade by Janet Skeslein Charles
I found this book in the large print section at my library. Like I said earlier, I check out every part of my library, and the large print section is no exception. I am not sure if anyone else is like this, but this time of year, I like to pick up Historical Fiction, and for some reason, I am always drawn to wartime stories. I don’t want to say that they are cozy exactly, but they kind of are…or is that just me? I also love a story that is told from two different perspectives and time periods with a bit of mystery. When I saw that this book hit on the wartime theme, different perspectives, and time periods, along with having a mystery thrown in, I just knew I needed to know what happened to Miss Morgan. I am hoping that this will be the perfect book to snuggle up with as the days shorten and the long evenings draw in. Have you read this one, Reader? I am always interested to hear.

The Book Of Doors by Gareth Brown
A magical book that can take you wherever you want to go. I mean what more is there to say. I had to pick this one up. Not only is it a magical book that can take you wherever you want to go but it is about best friends, adventures and danger. This after all is not the only magial book out there. This was enough to make me want to bring this book home and I am hoping it is good as a similar book I read over this past year.

Fear The Flames by Olivia Rose Darling
The cover interested me from the start. I love a book with dragons, and the dragon on the cover caught my attention. I also discovered that it is book one in a new series. I am all about getting into a new fantasy/romantasy series, especially over the colder, darker months. Besides, this is a book about a girl who is linked to five different dragons and becomes queen, which I am all about as well. I am interested in seeing what becomes of her, her kingdom, and the dragons. I really hope I love this because I do love a good series. I have also never heard of this author or this series. Have you Reader?
