Readers, I pose a question to you: Is September one of your favorite months? I tend to gravitate toward this season more than any other, especially this month. I welcome in the cozy feelings of fall: the crisp weather, chunky blankets, apple- and pumpkin-flavored everything. My favorite part of the season? My reading list.
What can I say? The months of September, October, November and so on lend themselves to cozying up with a good book. I easily fall prey to cute, romantic comedies, but I also find myself swaying more toward historical fiction and fantasy. Find my quintessential fall book picks here.
September 5 marks the start of the 2024 NFL season—irregardless if you’re cheering for the home team or perhaps another, I invite you to meet Ty Okada of the Seattle Seahawks. Writer Emily Gedde connects with the East Ridge High School alumn on the topics of family, faith and, of course, football. “It’s more than being a good football player … How you do anything is how you should do everything. Live by that, and you’ll be just fine,” Okada says.
This September, I invite you to visit our website to vote on our Readers’ Choice photo in the Focus on Woodbury photo contest. Voting runs September 15 through September 30, and winners are announced in the beginning of October.
Whether you’re curling up with a comfortable novel or hosting Sunday watch parties, enjoy all that autumn brings. See you next month, Readers.
