Hi, it's Maija here, and today I'm going to do two tags in one video, because I
was tagged to do two fall related tags and fall is almost over. We have already
got our first snow here in Finland - it melted away, but still - it is cold and
I need to do these fall tags. I'm trying to be quite brief so this video won't be
really long, and I'm going to do the Finally Fall tag and the Fall Favorites tag.
So first the Finally Fall tag, which I
was tagged to do by Lia from Lia Cooper and the original was created by
Tall Tales. So the first question is: "In fall, the air is crisp and clear: name a
book with a vivid setting." And I would say Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. In
this one the house and grounds really feel like a character in themselves. The
second question is: "Nature is beautiful... but also dying: name a book that is
beautifully written, but also deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief." The
Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson. It's so dark, but so good. Number three:
"Fall is back-to-school season: share a non-fiction book that taught you
something new." Now this was a difficult one, since I don't really read that much
non-fiction, but I am looking forward to what The Black Count by Tom Reiss will
tell me of Alexandre Dumas' grandfather. "In order to keep warm, it's
good to spend some time with the people we love: name a fictional family or
household or friend group that you'd like to be a part of." I thought about this for
a long time, since a lot of the people in the books that I read, I do like them, but I
wouldn't want to live where they live, and they get into these really dangerous
adventures. So I went with a safe bet and I went with living with the Moomins in
Moomin Valley, since their adventures aren't really that dangerous, they eat a
lot of good food, they sleep through the whole winter, they have it cozy, and money
doesn't really exist. Sounds good. Number five: "The colorful leaves are piling up
on the ground: show us a pile of fall- colored spines." Okay, let's do this.
I hate you so much for making me get up. Question number six: "Fall is the perfect
time for some storytelling by the fireside: share a book wherein somebody is
telling a story." I felt like I do know a lot of these, but none
came to mind, so I picked up Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, since in
this one there's this narrative framework that is in a lot of classics,
that the story isn't told by the main characters, but someone who is being told
the story by the main character. So in this one there's a sailor on a ship and Dr.
Frankenstein is telling his story to him and he is writing it down. Number seven:
"The nights are getting darker: share a dark, creepy read." The short story Hungry
Daughters of Starving Mothers by Alyssa Wong, I will leave a link to it in the
description. Number eight: "The days are getting colder: name a short, heartwarming
read that could warm up somebody's cold and rainy day."
That's definitely Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Number nine: "Fall
returns every year: name an old favorite that you'd like to return to soon." I
would pick The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice and The Sandman graphic novel
series by Neil Gaiman. Number 10: "Fall is the perfect time for cozy reading nights:
share your favorite cozy reading accessories." Those would definitely be
woollen socks, a blanket, and tea, preferably in this cup. Number 11 is just
"Spread the autumn appreciation and tag some people." Autumn is over, people.
Now we're moving on to the Fall Favorites tag and I was tagged to do this by Reija
from Bofinkins, and it took a bit of digging, but I think the original was
created by Jaclyn Hill, even though it didn't have the book question. The
first three questions I'm gonna go through quite quickly since I don't have
a good enough answer for them. Number one is favorite fall candle, and I
don't really do candles. It sounds good in theory, but maybe I'm too lazy or
something to pick them out. And I don't really like scents that much. Number two, a
favorite fall lip color: black. I just have an off-brand black one.
Number three, favorite fall blush. I don't wear blush. So now we're moving on to the
rest of the questions. Number four is favorite fall drink, and I like some
spicy chai. Number five is favorite fall clothing
item, and those would be scarves, because scarves are one of the few cold-weather
clothes that I do like, and they don't have to be the really thick woollen ones
that I wear in the winter. It's cold in here in Finland, you guys. Question number
six is favorite fall movie, and I do like vampire movies during the fall. So
something like What We Do in the Shadows by Taika Waititi or Only Lovers Left
Alive by Jim Jarmusch, and also, this is not a vampire movie, or really a great
favorite, but I do love the visuals and the visuals work really well for creepy
autumn vibes, and that would be Crimson Peak by Guillermo del Toro. Question
number seven is favorite fall TV show, and I think this is supposed to be
one of those shows that start during the fall season, so like, a favorite TV show
that is back now. And I haven't really watched a lot of new TV, I watch Netflix
and I'm a bit behind with all the series. But one new show that I can think of that I've
been watching this fall season is Star Trek Discovery, and I do quite like it. If
this question was supposed to be about a fall-feeling TV show, I have no idea.
Number eight is favorite autumn food - the original question was favorite
Thanksgiving food, but, Finnish. So I would say for autumn foods, roasted root
vegetables. I like to put in rutabaga, parsnip, carrots and beetroot and some
red onion. It's really good. Number nine is favorite Halloween costume. All the
costumes that I've worn for Halloween have been for Halloween parties as an
adult, since we don't do really Halloween here - or at least we didn't when I was a
kid. I was this possessed doll with, like, a stitched mouth (it was just
drawn) and a white face and everything for one Halloween party about ten years
ago, maybe that one. I also was Beetlejuice one year quite recently,
but I think I could have done that better. I didn't really like the wig.
And the final question, question number 10 is favourite fall-ish book. I would say again
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, also the graphic novel Courtney Crumrin Volume 2:
The Coven of Mystics by Ted Naifeh. This was a bit of a hard question since I
don't really connect books with seasons. But wait,
I do think fairy tale retellings match very well with autumn, so maybe
everything by T. Kingfisher. Guys, I did it! I did the fall tags before it is
Christmas! I hope you enjoyed this video, that's all from me for now, I will see
you in my next one. Bye!
