Last weekend, I went to visit a friend who had moved to her new home in the spring. My journey took me from the big metropolis I live in to the country and I found myself looking for Autumn's colors. The red, gold, yellow, rust leaves.
And I found them.
The squirrels are scurrying. The nuts have fallen. The leaves are changing. All leading to one thing--THANKSGIVING!!
Pie, cake, smoked turkey, fixings, and more pie! And I can't wait.
So if your holiday journey takes you into this world's beauty, rejoice. And once with family and friends, and enjoying your time with them, remember pie.
What's your favorite?
At the end of the hop,
I'm giving away a handbag!

It’s hard to say what exactly would be my Go-To Autumn Romance book. When I think real hard about it, I would have to say it has a sexy, strong, determined male that when it comes to love is just lost. Then there has to be a woman who is usually in need of help or needs to know what love and family is. Together they heal each other and love turns out to be their greatest gift. I also love a happy ending at this time of year, usually where the epilogue has them starting their own family to love and cherish. Oh….and definitely HOT loving too!

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is being with my family. It's always been a big family time for our family, and that's the best part for me.

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday! It's great fun to gather family and friends and chat the day away. Some gather in the living room for football, while others gather in the dining room and kitchen to chat. And, as some might think, it isn't the men watching football while the women chat. Everyone seems to migrate back and forth between the rooms.
I hope all of you have a GREAT Thanksgiving holiday!

I don't have a go to autumn romance book, but I love that it's finally cold enough that I am not roasting my family with all my baking.
Planterofhope(at)aol(dot)com
I was never a big fan of pie when growing up, but I think that's because they were always store bought. Now that I bake my own, I have many kinds that I love and that make Thanksgiving really great. Plus it's great to see the kids with their cousins.

Despite the holdiays, this time of year slows down. Or maybe it's that we do more quiet, inside things like reading.
phillips[.]connie[@]gmail[.]come
I love baking my own Apple Pies because well 1) They taste amazing and 2) My entire house smells like Autumn! I love it! Great stop!

My favorite pie: homemade sweet potato. Nothing comes close, although pear cobbler is a almost as good.
For reading, I like spooky paranormals when it gets dark early!

Hi, Angelheart: I'm with you on the hot hero part. I like my heroes to be ordinary guys thrown into unusual circumstanes. With the DST gone, daylight goes early and what could be better than getting an early start on winter time reading. Thanks for stopping!

Hi, Carla: I'm so jealous you are baking. Make something good and share. Thanks for hopping

Hi, Vampire Mistress! I love fall colors. The rust, dark red, brilliant yellow. Beautiful. I
ll take your word on the paranormal with fall, but I

Hi, Sassy! My mom always said sassy was bad, but she was wrong. Sassy is fun! lol. MMMM, I can
t bet enough of cider either. Cheers!
Hi, Veronika! It's blustery where I am today. The wind just moved in and snow is predicted. Goodbye, summer; hello winter. Bundle up!
Hi, Susan! Do you have a specific recipe for your turkey? We get a super smoked one and I just love it, especially for sandwishes. For years, Handsome favored turducken. Enjoy yours!

Hi, Jan! You joined the fan club. Have a wonderful day.
Hi, Liese! It is a good reading season. In fact, it's jammy time and I'm ready to indulge myself. Happy reading to you!
Hi, Kym! There seems to be a conscenous on the pumpking pie. Do you have a large dab of whipped cream with yours?
Hi, JYL! I love Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and especially the Christmas special when they all sing Hark the Herald Angels Sing. I sing along and get weepy.
Hi, Catherine! Pumpkin chiffon pie--I'm betting Handsome would like to try that. Send some my way!

Thanks for the giveaway! I prefer spring to fall, but I love the colorful leaves of autumn as well as the knowledge that the holiday season is approaching.
freshmankay[at]gmail[dot]com
My Go-To-Autumn book is most definitely any werewolf novel...something about the wolves and woods just go with Fall. Thanks for the giveaway!
molly at reviewsbymolly dot com
Hi, Belinda: you are so lucky to have that burst of color every year to view. Mine is dependent on water and the snap at the perfect moment. Since the drought last summer, our biggest trees are still in recovery. Have a wonderful holiday.
Hi, Kayley! Spring is so neat. A flowering quince outside my office window is always my first indicator spring is coming. Then the bees move in. I hope your winter is short so spring can come soon.
Hi, Molly! Werewolves and autumn do seem to go together. I don't read much in this genre. Have fun indulging.
Unfortunately, participating here only to win one of 2 main prizes. As a foreigner I can't win the bag. :(
Thanks anyway,
Adila

I don't have a go to romance! I get moody! Especially if I'm in the mood for cowboy romance nothing else will do. LOL I LOVE all types of romance.
Thanks for the giveaway!
tobihelton at gmail dot com
Hi, Adila! I'm so sorry about the bag thingy. I hope you do enjoy bags like I do. Thank you for stopping and spreading cheer.
Hi, Tobi: cowboy romance has really grown lately. There are some really good authors out there. Typically, my guys are accountant/financial types. Oh yea, Handsome grew up farming. Maybe that counts? Happy blogging.
Hi, Angels Cove: I adore handbags. They fit better than shoes for me. I have narrow feet. So cross fingers!
Hi Vicki, I'm crazy for handbags, as well as shoes. There can never be too many of none of them. Thanks for the great giveaway!
tessa.bamberg@kolumbus.fi
Thanksgiving, like Christmas, is a so-so event for me, I'm afraid. No so much fun when you have no kids.

Thanksgiving has always been about family although we now spend it alone with the three of us as those who spent the holiday with us have all passed away. We have created our own family memories, though, and it's still about family!

These holidays are the only time that we see some of the family during the course of a year ...

Homemade apple pie :)
wildnmild4u at yahoo dot com
Hi, Wild n Mild! I love apple pie a big chunky one with lattice crust and a huge heap of vanilla ice cream. Who's in?
My favorite thing about Autumn/Fall is the changing color of the leaves. They are so pretty. My least favorite thing is raking up those pretty leaves. LOL I love to curl up by the fire and read a hot romance book on a cold fall evening. Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win. <^_^>
reneebennett35 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Hi, Nay ay! I didn't even think abut rakingleaves. Yikes. It is more fun to dowith a big group to help. We have just enough, the mower men get them. lol
my go-to autumn romance is a sweet romance by Marcia Lynn McClure called The VIsions of Ransom Lake

Hi, Christine! Thank you so much for the recommendation. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
I curl up with a good book no matter what the weather is like all year round. I don't really have a favorite. Too any to count. I love many different genres so many diferent authors. But what I do love most of all are series. I love the fact that before a new release comes out I cn reread the series & get swept away all over again.

Hi, Amanda! I'm seeing a theme about paranormal and Halloween. And maybe when hooked, the readers continue with that genre thru the fall. Perhaps you can check out a light Christmas fun, Twinkle Lights. Out December 5.
Congratulations to Wildnmild4u because you just won the Autumn Blog Hop.
Thank you all who visited and please come back for the next hops soon.
