This newsletter made me absolutely giddy for fall. If I could, I'd give you a bouquet of sharpened pencils in thanks.

Me: sipping a homemade pumpkin spiced latte - last week I cleared out my closet. I just bought a new burgundy bag for work and a new planner. I just sat down and planned my September and booked *all the fun things* with my friends cos I'm a teacher I need to get through this month after a gloriously free summer. Red is my favourite album and I listen to it every autumn (All Too Well, obvs but also State of Grace 🫶🏻) - usually whilst wearing my TS Red scarf and wearing uggs. I have read every single book on the recs list (and I teach bell hooks 😍).

I am her. I am the lit girl. My time is coming 😆

Hannah - you are the most comforting best-friend I didn’t even know I had! It’s like you see into my soul and pull out the lurking thoughts that I haven’t yet made it to my conscience. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🫶🏻🍂🎃

Absolutely loved this Hannah- September feels more like a new year to me than January and your article just got me so excited for this new season ❤️❤️❤️

"[W]rite a letter to your future self. I want you to put it on the fridge, and set the ‘open’ date to January, 2025."

There isn't a BIG difference between this and a quarterly review -- but somehow there's significantly more magic in it.

You made me look forward to September and fall in a way I hadn't since I was in school looking forward to new school supplies and wearing my fall outfits!

I feel like Buffy the vampire slayer and charmed are also cool fall shows. Don't ask me why...

Loved this Hannah, I woke up this morning and my mind felt so calm. I really love autumn and how life slows down. To add to your recipes, I suggest you also look up Taylor Swifts chai cookie recipe! 🍪🍂

I loved this article. Lit girl fall is such a great name. I need to watch Sleepless in Seattle, now that I live an hour's drive away from the city. 😂 Also, Gossip Girl is so good and I agree that watching You right after is the way to go.

your newsletters make me warm inside, and this one is particularly my favorite.

i have a goal of tasting wines this fall, and also staying consistent with trying new things, and exploring more because as a home gal, i need to see the outside world more.
