 Hello, hello everyone. My name is Laura. This is my channel Laura's Little Library and welcome to today's video Which is a video I did last year and I think you're probably gonna do every year And that is just a daily fall themed vlog. We will be going shopping for decorations. I will be getting books I will be baking some zucchini bread. I got just lots of things planned for today So I'm gonna take you along with me as I get ready for the new season So let's start off with that shopping From shopping and I use it. So I'm gonna start off with the decorations. I'm gonna start off with fall decorations So Brenna intends to prefer more harvest themed Decorations, so I got these cute little things for him. Me and my friends always go to Michael's For our decorations just because that was the one store that we all know of that has good Halloween decorations But I just got these little I got these two which are just kind of plain boxes with some pumpkins And then I also got this kind of more apple based one in a basket And I figured this is very harvest time. This is probably what he would like I think this looks so cute and you can put them all together or you can kind of spread them out So I'll figure out where I want to put those but then for Halloween decorations something that can hang Um It says boo It's got ghosts and a pumpkin. It says boo. I'll probably put it on a door I don't know if I'll put it on our door in or out or on our bedroom door not quite sure but It's so cute and then I also got I wasn't initially gonna get anything for the bookshelves because like I have Quite a few decorations for the shelves, but when I saw this I Wanted it so it's this little ghost That lights up. I mean how cute, right? Come on now It says so cute So those are the Halloween and fall decorations that I got. I did also grab some socks just because I like socks and I'm slowly Getting more normal house items that are seasonally themed. So I have these which have like a little Little skeleton cat and then bats So I have these and then I also grabbed a pair of footy fuzzy socks that have a little pumpkin with a hat on So I thought those were really cute. So these will be really nice to wear for like nights reading or watching Halloween movies. I'm super excited now. I can move on to the books And this is where I truly went crazy like I went a little overboard with the decorations But this is the books is where truly unleashed my inner monster. I Went to three different places for this I went to Two half-priced books locations and then Goodwill. I didn't go to Goodwill for books But then I saw a book so the book I got on Goodwill was Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Arden I if you don't know I have been collecting the original covers for these because those are the books that I read from the library and then when they came out with all these different new covers when like movies were coming out and It was getting like really popular and blah blah blah. They I don't know if they just stopped selling these like they're out of print But I can't find them in any like new store like not in Barnes & Noble anywhere So I've been collecting them used off of like thrift books and now in Goodwill apparently So this is the fourth book I have the first four books so all I need is the last Olympian and I have all the Percy Jackson in the original covers for all the other recording series that I may want to purchase they don't need to be the original covers, but I Just wanted this original series in the original covers I'm so close you guys like I have the alert on thrift books for whenever one of them like becomes available in any condition So and this is actually really good condition like it's not perfect like it's been loved But like there's no markings no rips no Dog ears like the little yellow, but that's totally fine. So very happy about that My first trip to thrift books. I got the Groom Rose Girls By Laura pole. I read this actually this past like early summer. It's a dark academia That's based on fairy tales. The second book has come out I've yet to read it, but I really liked it and I just love dark academia and it's fairytale So I thought I should buy my own copy of it. I got in a dark dark wood by Ruth Ware I read her book one by one, and I really really really liked it And this one had a premise I thought sounded really good They're kind of trapped a group of people are trapped in a forest. They have their own secrets, but they're also not alone Hominus dark. Oh, so I got this one for that. I also have the woman in cabin 10 I got that this past spring So I've got a couple with where books to read the spooky season Super excited then the next one that I got is a very new thriller book And that is Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney. I haven't read any Alice Feeney books But this one like I said was a recent release. It sounded really good It's like this whole family is gathering on this island for Nana's 80th birthday. Nana ends up dead Someone has secrets or everyone has secrets and we got to figure out what's going on If more people are gonna die or if it was just Nana and why So it's giving me very like knives out kind of vibes And it's on an island. So it's like isolated as well, which was an element I really liked in the one by one by Ruth Ware. So I Decide to go with this one for that and then the last book I got in the first thrift books was The Dead from Antics. So this is a ghost story. It is about and this is by Ashley Poston Poston Ashley Poston Poston something and it's about this writer who her father Unexpectedly passes away. So she goes to the funeral and then she starts to see ghosts But she is about to lose like a writing contract like she's struggling, but also her new editor is a ghost So I did I was very intrigued about having like a live writer and a ghost editor So and I think this one also like just came out I love how bright the colors are for it being like a spooky book I'm excited to read that one. And then my second I Traveled 20 minutes to get to the next half price books because I had one book that I really wanted And that was white smoke by it's beneath the Jackson The only thing I really remember about being described this book is that it's a haunted house like a good true haunted house story and That's all I really needed to know because I I know that Tiffany D. Jackson has Like good writing and like she's well-known, but it's a haunted house story. So So I had to go and pick up that and then while I was there I got distracted and the final book that I purchased I've been anticipating this release. It again just came out I feel like everybody is buying it right now like I've seen it everywhere And that's Babel by RF Kwong So RF Kwong wrote the poppy war trilogy, which I have not read and I'm not super interested in reading But Babel from what I understand it is a dark academia with an emphasis on languages Which if you know me I love languages and I love dark academia This cover is beautiful. So I'm I'm fully Here for it like I'm trying to get a degree in translation. So the fact that this book Actually cares about like languages and things like that. It just it just warms my heart and it makes me so excited It's quite chunky. So I don't know if I'm gonna be able to read it with in Spooky season like I'm gonna obviously try and prioritize it soon But I obviously have a lot of books here that I want to read during spooky season And it's just gonna take me a little bit to get through a charm. So we'll see but oh my goodness I'm so excited for this one. I think this is the one that gets me most excited out of all the ones that I purchased Yeah, all right, I think next thing I need to do is bake the zucchini bars and then I'm gonna decorate the apartment I don't know how much I'll film the baking and the zucchini bars because I might go to my friend's apartment upstairs because they actually have a stand mixer I really want to use that because I'm lazy and I'm sick of mixing things by hand So I don't know how much that'll film we'll see but that is kind of on the docket for the rest of the day I'll bake Do the decorations and then I'm also going to an Irish kind of sing along thing in a pub So it's gonna be quite the full day, but it's gonna be so much fun as well Now I have to find space for all of these on my bookshelf That's a problem. I'm excited to have All right, the zucchini bread has been made I went to the singing thing at pub and now the only thing that's left to do Is to decorate the apartment autumn? It's dark outside. So the lighting is not super great We'll see what I can do about that, but I think it's time to decorate
