  1. Awesome giveaway, thanks! It was so hard to decide what book to choose as the one I'd like if I win, haha. There are too many on my wishlist!

    Autumn is my fav season, too. The crisp air, the changing leaves, the smells and seasonal foods...Halloween, my birthday, the fall clothes...what is NOT to love about this season?

  3. I am more of a Spring person. Weather is perfect for short sleeves and jeans and so sunny that it's hard not to smile when you are outside. But fall is a close second.

  4. My fave season is winter although since I live in California, I don't get the snow that defines winter for me.

  5. My favorite season is winter because I LOVE to snowboard. I also love the quietness to it and the way that the world is blanketed in white. Thanks for the giveaway!

  6. I really love the fall too. I live in WI & the colors here this time of year are amazing.

  15. Fall has always been and will forever stay my favorite season! I love the cooler weather, the apple picking, the falling leaves, the trees how they look before the leaves fall, and of course Halloween!

    ReplyDelete

  19. My favorite season has always been fall. I love the more mild temperatures, but I also love the smells and the sight of the leaves changing color.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love summer, because it rains too much in Oregon during the other three seasons!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Winter is by far my favorite season. Snow, a warm fireplace, blanket, hot chocolate, and a book. Nothing is better than that.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I haven't decided what book I want yet...I will check if it's under $25! :)

    SUMMER!!

  23. I love fall. Live in New England and I love watching the leaves change color. The temperature is just perfect, not too hot, not too cold.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Fall has always been my favorite season! After the miserable summer heat, it's always a relief to have cooler weather. Nothing like jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt. Something about the weather, shorter daylight hours, the beautiful colors surrounding us...it's just amazing!

    Halloween is my favorite holiday and I'm so glad it's during Fall. I love having a little niece to dress up and have fun with for such a fun holiday.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I enjoy the all but I don't like winter. If fall was longer I would feel better, but as it is now...I think winter is coming....

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    So happy I found your blog and started stalking appropriately. Heh.

    And yay, your b-day is coming up. How fun! I guess I'd have to say Spring time is my favorite because of my b-day, but as I get older, I think that will change. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  31. My favorite season is autumn/fall cause it's cooler, yet drier (usually) than spring.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks for this amazing giveaway - I would love to win! I like Autumn because it's a relief from the heat of Summer and I like seeing the beautiful trees with their red, yellow, and orange leaves!

  33. My favorite season is Spring. Why? Because I'm not a fan of the cold and it gets really cold here. Once Spring arrives it means the cold will be going away. And flowers start blooming always a plus. Thanks for the giveaway.

  39. Thanks for the giveaway Mimi! You're the best!

    My favorite season is summer. I love the heat and being outside by the pool or barbequing with friends. And the nights always seem electric during the summer.

  40. My favorite season is Autumn. Although I don't get the drastic change of the leaves like the northeast, I do enjoy watching everything change. I love that it gets cooler out, but not cold yet. And my favorite thing about fall is that I get to eat and drink pumpkin flavored everything, from coffee to treats to nuts.

  41. My favorite season is definitely autumn. Here in Texas, winter is not much different than autumn, but you really notice the changes in fall the most. The turning of leaves, the crisp air... it makes for a fantastic season. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. There's something about each season that I like. But my favorite one is the one we are in now! Fall! :D

    ReplyDelete
  43. Autumn is my favorite season! My husband and I are Marching Band instructors so it's our big competition time of the year (he's a percussionist and I teach color guard). 3 of my 4 kids were born in September. I love all of the fall holidays and events. It's just the best!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. totally winter, I love the snow, and the cold, and hot chocolate. and reading by the fire. Great giveaway, thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Fall is my favorite season by far. Football, Halloween, new TV shows, and lots of federal holidays.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thanks for the lovely giveaway! I love Fall - the crisp air, which really does smell different, and the changing leaves. I love spring too.

    ReplyDelete
  47. My favorite season without a doubt is fall. I love the cool weather and the bite in the air. I love pulling my sweaters and boots out of the closet and having a fire in the fireplace at night. I love wearing socks to bed because the floor is too cold in the morning. I love the different colors, the reds, oranges and browns.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I love Autumn because it is the season in which I have my birthday!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I think my favorite season is Spring b/c it's not too hot or cold :P

    ReplyDelete
  50. Probably early Fall. Though late Spring comes in a close second! :) Both are so beautiful, and not too hot or cold! :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. My favorite is spring not to warm! thank you so much for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Summer is my favorite, probably, b/c there's nothing like reading outside. And in Oregon, summer is short. And therefore more valuable. Next is Autumn w/ birthdays and cozy cups of tea. Winter is typically very wet around here, so spring would be next. Although, if we see snow, or actually get snowed in... well!! Roasting marshmellows over a fire in the fireplace skips right to the top quickly.

    :-) Fun question. Great giveaway!!

  53. My fave season has to be summer!
    1. Beaches and Vacations
    2. NO School

    ReplyDelete
  54. My favorite season is spring. I love the sound and the smell of rain, so I keep my windows open to hear and smell it. Plus that's when all the flowers come up, I get my best pictures in the spring.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Aw I really love Winter, it's so chilly and fun. I love to dress warm and get excited for the season of giving gifts.

    But it's really hard to pick - I do love all seasons for different reasons! :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. You are an absolutely doll to be hosting this giveaway, thank you so much for your kind generosity. I think the Fall is totally my favorite time of year, because I love the fact that it not only signifies changes in the weather but can signify changes and shades in your life as well. It's like there's a sweeping out of the old and a welcoming in of the new, plus it's all pretty with the leaves a burnt rustic color, the tree's barron, then you have the first hues of new life coming into existence. ;)

  60. All the seasons are beautiful here in NY state. My bday is in spring, I was married in fall but summer is my absolute favorite! Warm weather, beautiful flowers and trees, fireflies, late sunsets and reading in my hammock. Ah, the best! And we just had our first snow last week - so depressing...

    Thanks for an awesome giveaway! :)

    ReplyDelete

  65. I love autumn because where I live in the midwest it's gorgeous! I live in a typical college town too so it looks beautiful both on and off campus. I love the general environment.

    Thanks for the opportunity!
