Soothe Your Soul With These Pictures of Books and Leaves

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers,” Anne Shirley once exclaimed – she of the Green Gables – and she’s not the only one. Although autumn isn’t everyone’s favourite season for reading, there’s something about cozying under blankets on chillier days with a hot chocolate and a soothing read that definitely appeals. And it’s a Bookstagrammer’s paradise, too – pictures of books on beaches replaced by pictures of books amid leaves and golden scenery. Since we can all use more calming beauty in our lives, I’ve picked out a few  of my recent favourites for you. I love the subtle nuances in this leaf’s colours – and that the books aren’t the feature, and yet we are comforted by their presence.
Love this Nicholas Sparks quote – and the creativity of making it float in coffee!
Fall in the U.S. is, I have learned, incomplete without a pumpkin…or several.
The books are hiding in camouflage in this one!
  Don’t you wish you were reading by this window?
Look, there’s a leaf in this one, okay? And lots of other fall things. It still counts as a leaf pic. And look how pretty…
