Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)

My favorite thing to do in the Autumn/Fall season is to go apple picking.
FranJessca
I’ve never gone apple picking. Hopefully, I can go in the near future with my girls. I know my youngest daughter would enjoy apple picking. =)

My favorite activity to do during the fall season is being outside. I love the cooler weather, the changing of the leaves, the smells of the season. And I absolutely love reading during any season!
FranJessca
Hopefully, I get a cool front in Florida, so I can enjoy being outside on my front porch again. I love reading out on my swing during the cooler weather. We don’t get to enjoy the leaves changing colors, but I remember enjoying it a lot in Virginia. I’ll be visiting up north during Thanksgiving, so I’ll get to see it again. I always loved taking pictures during Autumn season.

I like to open the windows wide on those sunny fall days to get the fresh air flowing thru the house
FranJessca
I’m crossing my fingers that I get a cool front in Florida, so I can enjoy having my windows open, too. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get cool here until November. It’s one thing I miss about living up north.
Janie McGaugh
Reading is my favorite activity, regardless of the season!
FranJessca
Yes, I definitely agree. Reading is perfect for every season.
Jeanna Massman
My favorite Fall activity is taking my grandson to the pumpkin patch.
FranJessca
That’s a tradition in my household every year to go to the pumpkin patch, too. My teenager even enjoys it every year. I may continue to go even when my kids grow up.
Mirlou
I really enjoy taking walks with my husband in the parks to see the colors of the trees changed.
Anita Yancey
My favorite thing to do in the fall is going hiking.
