After an uncomfortably hot summer that led to out-of-control forest fires inland and smoke that traveled here, making it hard to breathe (or see very far), it finally seems to be over. Much to my relief, as I much prefer cooler weather – the kind that makes scarves, fluffy socks, cosy blankets and copious tea appropriate. So consider this week’s topic my celebration to one of my favourite times of year: the beginning of autumn!
   
   
The Year of the Runaways – Sunjeev Sahota
Little Fires Everywhere – Celeste Ng

Some of these I’ve read, others not yet, so I don’t know if they all fit thematically in terms of content. But for one reason or another, they all look like autumn to me, and make me feel like they’d be great to curl up with on a rainy evening with a purring cat and some type of warm beverage to hand!
