    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?

    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.

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

    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!

    I love autumn! After the heat and humidity of summer to be able to cuddle under blankets and read in the cool fall is a dream!

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

    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.

  23. DizneeeeOctober 2, 2011 at 9:54 AM

    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.

    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!

    No..... you're AWESOME!

    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

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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. :)

    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!!

  47. Andrea @ The Busy BibliophileOctober 14, 2011 at 1:39 PM

    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.

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

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

  52. Laura BurgandyIceOctober 22, 2011 at 11:56 AM

    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!!

    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.

    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! :)

  56. UnknownOctober 27, 2011 at 6:16 PM

    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. ;)

    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...

    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!
