My Non-Bookish Fall Favorites

I love books and all things bookish but a few times a year I love looking back about things outside the book world that I've been loving.  After all you have to step away from books occasionally right!


1.. Land's End 5 oz Velvet Flannel Sheets - I love flannel sheets and keep them on my bed year round.  In the past I was buying the ones from Target and always had to replace them once a year because they'd be falling apart.  These are a little more expensive but they're always running a sale and the quality is amazing.  I wash them once a week in hot water and have had them on my bed just about every night for 2 years and they're still so soft and cozy.


2.  Hallmark Mystery Movies - I'm recovering from a bout with pneumonia which means I've been spending a lot of time on the couch and have been watching one Hallmark Mystery after another - Garage Sale, Aurora Teagarden, Morning Show Murders.  I can't get enough!


3.  Disney Mugs - Last year on a whim I bought a Chip and Dale mug at Disney World and have gotten so much joy out of using it.  This year I bought two - a Mary Poppins mug which is fancy and perfect for coffee and a It's a Small World which I love for tea or hot chocolate.

4.  Almond Joy Candy Bars - I forgot how much I love Almond Joys until the Tornado got a few in his Halloween bag and I ate them all!  Now I need all the Almond Joys.
5.  Chick Fil A Chicken Biscuits - This is not a new favorite as Chick Fil A chicken biscuits have always been my favorite bt lately I've rediscovered them and have been enjoying the occasional treat after I drop the Tornado off at school.

6.  Soft Pretzels - I have been obsessed with soft pretzels lately.  I think it started with one I had in Disney World but other than chicken biscuits and Almond Joys they're pretty much all I want to eat.


7.  Disney Emoji  Blitz - I've never been big into phone games but I've gotten obsessed with this one which is essentially a match 3 game.  It has daily challenges and all these different goals and is crazy addictive.  On top of that when you when an emoji it gets added to your keyboard so I can now send Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck or whatever I feel the need to send.  I'm not really an emoji user but I've increased my use considerably lately!

What were you loving this fall?

  2. I love all things Disney! I also love soft pretzels, which I discovered as a kid when my two BFF's and I spent our Saturdays at a mall in the early 70's. I also love the Soft Pretzel Twists at Sonic. So good!

  3. I might need to construct a winter essentials list for next month! At the moment it's frothy hot chocolate every day I'm having!

  4. Does your Small World cup 'sing'? That might be deal-breaker for me. I love that song, but...LOL!

  6. I wish I could take the hubby into using flannel sheets. I've always liked the quality of Land's End products so I'm not surprised that they hold up well. wish I could give them a try!

  7. I'm with you on the Chick Fil A - yum.
    I live up north where winter is a long, cold season. Lands End is my go to for jackets, etc. Haven't tried the flannel sheets but good to know they're great. I wish our cable tier included the mystery channel from Hallmark. We only get their main channel.

  8. I always used to swipe the peanut butter cups out of my son's Halloween candy. Ha ha. 🎃

    The Small World mug is perfection. 💜
