Wet weather and short days means staying in more with cups of tea and a book or a craft. Here’s some things I like to do so I’m not as miserable as the weather. There's also some knitting and crochet patterns.
If you wish it was fall all year round, this cross stitch pattern is perfect to remind you of the autumn leaves.

I love Halloween and this pattern is just so cute. The colours really pop against the black aida fabric.

Diamond painting is like paint by numbers but with rhinestones instead. I struggle with my dexterity so it's easier for me than holding a paintbrush or cross stitch.

Books
I read a lot of horror, thrillers and literary fiction. Make sure to look up CWs. If you've read any of these, please let me know what you thought!
For such a short book, it has incredible impact. This is one of the most soul crushing depictions of eternity that I've ever read. There's no fire and brimstone here but somehow it's worse, in my opinion.
A Short Stay in Hell|eBook
A woman relives a normal day on the 18th of November over and over and tries to find meaning in this new sort of existence. I've read both books and I enjoyed them. They're on the slower side but it's worth the journey.
On the Calculation of Volume, Book I|Paperback
This is a truly unforgettable short story collection by Kate Folk. And when I say that, I mean it. I read this years ago and I still think about some of the stories regularly. I'll never look at wallpaper or motisturiser the same way.
Out There: Stories|eBook
A murder mystery, a cult and lots of twists and turns, set in 1910s Scotland. I really enjoyed this book and it made me want to read more from Catriona Ward.
Little Eve|Paperback
I love a short story collection and this one is solid. It has a mix of horror, litfic and scifi.
salt slow|eBook
I've yet to read this cult classic but I can't think of a better time to start than autumn. Shut in, pouring over the pages near the fire.
House of Leaves (Remastered Full-Color Edition)|Paperback
I’m not sure what genre this would be, maybe magical realism? It’s set in a dreamy world full of statues and grand halls but there's something even stranger going on..
Piranesi (Women's Prize for Fiction Winner)|eBook
Mariana Enriquez is one of my favourite authors and this collection is a good book to start with. Her writing is both disturbing and captivating.
The Dangers of Smoking in Bed|eBook
I loved ARGs and R/Nosleep stories and this is the full book of the Nosleep story. It really creeped me out and had me on edge. I'm not sure what the bonus story is in the B&N exclusive so if you have it, please let me know!
We Used to Live Here: A Novel (B&N Exclusive Edition)|BN Exclusive
I don't read much science fiction but I enjoyed both of the Mickey 7 novels. There's more focus on world building and history in the first book, there's also some truly gruesome scenes. The second book is more of action and adventure. I loved the cha...

Makeup
I love makeup so here's some of my picks for autumn. I tend to wear more blues and greens but I tried to pick some seasonal colours.
Black Moon Cosmetics have one of my favourite liquid lipstick formula and this trio is perfect for autumn, the shades are really unique and I haven't seen any other lipsticks like them.
Autumn Trio
Satin lipstick from Black Moon Cosmetics. It's named after the iconic 1986 film. I love the packaging and it looks very opaque and comfortable.
TRICK 'R TREAT
I love Girlcult, the brand releases so many unique and beautiful products. I bought this mirror lip gloss which is a brown-red and has blue sparkle. My lips were really dry in this pic so I'd recommend exfoliating before applying.
It’s a film forming formula so it can be built up in layers. Make sure to let each layer dry a bit before applying the next.

Cheeryep is a brand that has such a variety of eyeshadow colour stories. This has reds and oranges, it reminds me of a toned down version of the ABH Modern Renaissance palette.
cheeryep - 16 Color Eyeshadow Palette - Admiring
The latest collab between Freya86 and Cheeryep. This has a great mix of warm and cool. If you're like me and you prefer the early evening sky for autumn eyeshadow, then this is a good option.
cheeryep - 16 Color Eye Shadow Palette - Starcore
Swatches are my own. My first choice for this list would have been the Antidote palette but it's sadly been discontinued, however Love Tahiti is fantastic. bPerfect's matte formula is great, it's really pigmented and easy to blend. The shimmers can h...

I like how precise these pencils are and there's a good variation of colours to choose from.

Multichromes don't just have to be in eyeshadow format, Kaleidos has a whole line of Multichrome liners. Solaris is a rich red that shifts green.
Kaleidos - Chameleon Eyeliner Pen - (L01 - L03)
Maybe red is you go-to for autumn and this satin lipstick is perfect for that.
ELM STREET
Beauty Bay's formula is one of the best and most affordable in my opinion. I think this is great all year round especialy if you love warm tones.

While reds and oranges are true autumn colours, I like to wear bright makeup all year round. I’ve never seen a gloss like this before!
