It’s the perfect way to relax with a good book. One book I recently discovered that is worth looking in to, is Autumn in Your Arms.
Marina Thatcher is a beautiful twenty-eight-year-old advertising agent living in Portland, Maine. After the tragic loss of her sister, she suspects she’s developing feelings for her boss, Foster Delaney, which extend beyond gratitude for his kindness during her sibling’s illness and subsequent passing. And their professional relationship makes him the one man she knows she can’t have.
But her attraction, much to her dismay, only grows stronger. So when she is sent away on a mandatory vacation to a cabin in Ogunquit, she sees it as a welcome respite from her alluring employer.
At her retreat, Marina meets a reclusive, witty, and gorgeous author who just might be the distraction she’s been looking for—until Foster shows up and throws her sanctuary into chaos.
As Marina and Foster work through a series of misunderstandings, an unexpected visitor arrives and threatens to destroy everything. Can Marina risk it all on the one man she knows she can never have? Or is her heartbreak too much to overcome?

14. Nightmare Before Christmas
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a great classic movie. It’s fun to watch this time of year. Tim Burton makes some of the best movies ever! At least that’s my opinion anyways. Since Halloween is so close, this is another great movie to add to your collection if you don’t have it yet. Make sure to pick up your own copy if you haven’t yet!
Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” the stop-motion animated musical-fantasy following Pumpkin King Jack Skellington’s misguided mission to make Yuletide his own, was hailed as a macabre masterpiece when it debuted in 1993 and holds a 95% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Twenty-five years later, fans can relive the merry misadventure—and sing or shriek along in brand-new sing-along mode—with the 25 th Anniversary Edition of “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Viewers can get their spook on instantly via Digital, Movies Anywhere and on Blu-ray Sept. 2. The new edition audiences to experience “The Nightmare Before Christmas” two different ways: the original, full-length film, in which the holidays collide with chaotic and comical consequences, and all-new sing-along mode, which includes pop-up lyrics to 11 unforgettable songs like “What’s This” and “This Is Halloween.” The Multi-Screen Edition of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” includes a Blu-ray and Digital Code giving viewers the flexibility to watch the film on different devices.
In “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” Jack Skellington (singing voice of Elfman and speaking voice of Chris Sarandon), Halloweentown’s beloved Pumpkin King, is bored with the same old annual scare-and-scream routine and longs to spread the joy of Christmas. But his newfound obsession puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere. Jack is surrounded by a creepy and captivating cast of characters, including Sally (voice of Catherine O’Hara), a resourceful rag doll that has trouble fitting in, like her good friend Jack; mad scientist Dr. Finklestein (voice of William Hickey); the two-faced Mayor of Halloweentown (voice of Glenn Shadix); Oogie Boogie (voice of Ken Page), a rambling,
gambling bag of bugs; and Lock (voice of Paul Reubens), one in a trio of trick-or-treating troublemakers.
15. Hocus Pocus
One of my favorite Halloween movies is Hocus Pocus! I have been watching this movie for years. Every time when Halloween nears, I always watch this movie. It’s one of my favorite classics! Now is the perfect time to grab your copy of this movie if you don’t have it yet. I would watch this one all year round, but love watching it around Halloween the most.
One quarter of a century ago, three 17 th century witches—Winifred (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Mary Sanderson (Kathy Najimy)—brewed the perfect magical movie for the whole family: Walt Disney Pictures’ live-action comedy/adventure “Hocus Pocus.” In celebration of the film’s silver anniversary, “Hocus Pocus” is being re-released to home audiences with a spellbinding new way to experience the film: the Trivia and Treats Edition. On Sept. 2, fans can watch it instantly on Digital and Movies Anywhere, and bring it home on Blu-ray™.
“The 25 th Anniversary Edition of “Hocus Pocus” includes the original theatrical film and the We ♥︎ Hocus Pocus: Trivia and Treats Edition, featuring pop up video extras including fun facts, trivia, deleted scenes, cast and crew commentary, and behind-the-scenes secrets”… The Multi-Screen Edition of “Hocus Pocus” includes a Blu-ray and Digital Code giving viewers the flexibility to watch the film on different devices.
In “Hocus Pocus,” the Sanderson sisters are in for a devil of a time when their restless spirits are accidentally conjured up on Halloween night, in 1993 Salem, Massachusetts. Banished 300 years ago for practicing their sorcery, this trio of triple-threat demons vowed to one day reappear—and now they’re back—weaving an outrageous web of comedy and chaos. However, to guarantee their immortality, the things they need are the
very things that could bring them down: Max Dennison (Omri Katz), his little sister Dani (Thora Birch), and the Allison (Vinessa Shaw), three kids with the power to make or break the witches’ spell. The film is directed by Kenny Ortega (“Hull High,” “High School Musical” series) from a screenplay by Mick Garris (“Sleepwalkers,” “Critters 2”) and Neil Cuthbert (“The Adventures of Pluto Nash,” “Mystery Men”) and a story by Kirschner (“Frailty,” “An American Tail”) and Garris.
