Autumnal: Top Five Autumn Items Guide - Books


by sosunub

--------

When people ask others what they like doing on Neopets or what things do they do that make them stay active and motivated, the common answers usually are avatar collecting, guilds, trophies, stamps, among others. My case is completely different, however. If I had to describe myself and explain what I do on this site, I'd basically say one word: Autumn. I just love this season so so much and Neopets knows how to represent it through all the wonderful Autumn themed items such us books, grooming and even the amazing NP and NC wearable items. I think this season is very well resembled on the site and I have dedicated all my time towards this season. Everything I do and talk about will always be related to it. Neopets and the Staff Team know exactly how to take the season to a whole new level. The wearable backgrounds they come up with are just stunning and the Fall Shop at the NC Mall is expected to get busy during the months of September, October and November - This season sure does draw attention! With this articles I want to put my thoughts and opinions on the items I think are the best among the over two thousand you can find all over Neopia. With these guides I hope I can motivate and inspire you to create wonderful and outstanding customizations for your pets! - Sit back, grab something to drink and enjoy the falling autumn leaves while reading this great article.

Part Two: Books

I can ensure that a lot of people on Neopets love love love reading and I am not an exception for that. I love reading informative and interesting books especially about this season I love very much. Just so you know, I have over one hundred books on my library so it was hard for me to pick the best autumn books but I think I did a great job. I found not only the best autumn-looking items, but also the most informative ones. The things I have learned from these books I wouldn't have been able to learn anywhere else and that's why I love rereading from time to time to remember why they made be happy. If you are an autumn reader, or maybe a collector, you should consider to own any of the following books.

1. Fall Destinations

When we thought having seen everything already, we found this beautiful book called Fall Destinations. Judging it by its cover we can say how mesmerizing it looks. At first glance we do not know whether if that leaf was actually cropped from the book or if it is just a detail. When I first had this book in my hands I couldn't stop starting at the cover. It was simply beautiful. It does look like if it was made of wood but it wasn't! It's just a decorative paper. I have to congratulate the design for making one of the most outstanding autumn books out there. This book basically talks about all the destinations and places you should visit if you are an autumn lover. It lists over 200 places around Neopia in which Autumn is the best season to visit them on. From the Kiko Lake's countryside to Shenkuu, we honestly think this is the book every single autumn lover should carry with them when going out. It's informative and it contains so many beautiful pictures and photos. Without further ado, this is the best autumn book to collect.

2. Fun Tree Facts

If someone were to ask me what I use as my book pointer I'd just say an autumn leaf. I mean, I wouldn't be this fan of this season if I didn't do this, would I? And Fun Tree Facts is definitely the book I love using my pointer with. Firstly, have you seen how this book glistens the most beautiful colour palette? From those soft orange to that darker red and brown tones is what we call the right autumn colour expression. The tree drawn on the cover was wonderfully made and you wouldn't believe all the stunning pictures you can find inside the book. I can't believe a person would be able to make such an inspiring book and guess what? It's so much fun to read because of all the great information you can get to know about trees. Did you know that trees produce oxygen and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Informative content like this and much more can be found in this book? I highly suggest you to read it to your kids, though, because it was made just right for them in a prettier way showcasing amazing hand-drawn images. So if your kids want to know more about the mother nature, start considering to get one of these books.

3. Fall Leaves Book

After some research done, we can assure that the leaves used for this book cover were actually real. They were found among the most beautiful mountains around Haunted Woods. Believe it or not, this place has one of the rarest and finest autumn leaves someone could ever find. However, we recommend you not to go visit it during Halloween... we do not know what could happen. Anyways, as I was saying, this book is one of those that you are in dire need of for your library room. It has over one thousand leaves listed with their respective information about their location, specie and even how they are produced! You hear me right, over one thousand! It may be a long book to read but if you have ever thought about making your own fall leaves album, this is the book you will need in order to achieve that. Not only tells you where to find them, but also it tells when you have to go there exactly. Each description comes along with a picture and so it makes things easier when you are trying to get them. Again, this is definitely one of the books I truly treasure the most.

4. Neopian Autumns

Are you in school or maybe a college student? Then you can't leave home without this wonderful notepad. Whether you love taking notes or you like keeping a track of what you do during your day or your own schedules, Neopian Autumns is the right book for that. It's pretty much like an agenda and it will allow you to keep a track of everything from special dates to important notes about upcoming exams or homework to be done. Being a ringed book makes it easy in all the way from turning out the pages to being able to place the book in the way you want when writing down something. On the other hand, the book's shape is an autumn leaf and so when you remove a page it keeps the same shape! Isn't it amazing? It's one of those really creative and fantastic books someone should own and use every day. Even though stepping on crunchy leaves is allowed, make sure not to smash all the pages just for one; Remember that we want to take care of the enviroment! :)

5. Autumnal Decorating

Last but not least, let me introduce you Autumnal Decorating. From my own experience since I moved out by my own a few months ago, I tried to decide what should I do for my own house and its decoration. Friends kept tell me how I was going to decorate everything about autumn but then I had to reconsider that idea as I wasn't so sure about it. One day I left home and while visiting Roo Island I found such a huge book store and I couldn't stop staring at the shopwindow for quite a few minutes and that's how I found out about this book. It seems it wasn't a popular book because the seller told me there were only written five books and for my luck it seems I had bought the last one. On my way home I was taking peeks inside the book to see the amazing things I could find. Not only it talked about how to have the perfect autumnal house, but also it listed prices of each furniture and all the things I could buy for my house. I remember that I went on a crazy shopping spree during that time and so I can tell you that after months of working on my house decoration, it finally has this charm autumn vibe around which is not too exaggerated but I do enjoy it to the fullest. Sadly, as I mentioned previously, you won't be able to get this book if you look around. Maybe you can find one selling it but that's it. Perhaps if you browse through the neopian internet you will be able to reach for some information about it.

Shattered
I cannot remember. My memory is shattered. Shards of scenes flit through my thoughts, never enough to form a full image. There is nothing here. I briefly wonder how I am breathing before pushing the thought aside. Better to worry about what to do.

Gourmet or Gross: A Foodie’s Guide
While ordinary Neopians in the past have turned their noses up at the mere mention of gross foods (and, of course, the smell), the recent foodie movement has brought gross foods back into the spotlight. Gross foods, formerly reserved for Alien Aishas and the least choosey of Skeiths, have been welcomed back onto dinner plates all across Neopia.

Part Three - Darigan

The crowd always gasps when I appear on the pitch. Then they cheer, they’re greedy. You can almost hear their eagerness salivating in their roars. They know that the teams are dreading seeing my purple and black form rise off the pedestal.
