I know I wrote one last year but, in my humble opinion, my writing skills have evolved quite a bit over the past twelve months.
also, way more important and a bit less arrogant, I’ve read different books this year, like different things now and well… I simply changed. I’m a teenager after all.
seven books to read in autumn ☞ for you
these are the books I loved to read in the changing season or I simply imagine to be nice while the world prepares to wear its brown coat, but I had the pleasure of consuming in winter, spring or summer.

eight activities ☞ during a pandemic
- star gazing — the perfect corona activity: outside, no other people needed and you actually have a chance of seeing something due to less air pollution (there’s still light pollution, so I suppose it’s a bit better when you’re at the countryside)
- long walks trough golden forests, finding mushrooms, suspecting little magical creatures around every corner
- indoor picknicks — just make some tea, cookies (recipe here) and grab a book & a cosy blanket
- getting lost in a library; with a mask.
- looking for the perfect shaped leaves and starting a herbarium
- visting a pumpkin patch
- designing a halloween costume. like actual designing.
- go to BLM protests. because black lives matter. always. this is not autumnal. this is fucking important and I’m trying to get this into this pretty head of yours while I got your attention.
three autumnal snacks ☞ vegan as always
- ghost cookies; I’ll post a recipe for them soon
- cinnamon latte with oat milk
- porridge with oat milk, Tahina and organic apples
two playlists ☞ made by me, for us
these aren’t new, so you might know them already, but I still treasure them very much and I hope you can enjoy them too.
with this soundtrack I now leave you alone with most wonderful time of the year.
Stay safe, brave and cosy,
e.
