by Sadie Trombetta

Now that autumn is officially in full-swing, it's time to ditch your iced beverages and bikinis for something a little warmer. The days of beach reading and Frappuccinos may be gone, but the nights of warm blankets, long books, and big-ass bookish mugs for readers to enjoy their seasonal beverages out of has only just begun.

Whether you start your day with coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or, like some kind of supermodel, just hot water with lemon, a new season means a new opportunity to switch up your drinkware. Especially as the weather starts to cool off, you're going to want to trade up your small espresso cups for some mugs with the capacity to hold some serious liquid. It doesn't matter if it's purpose is to deliver you precious caffeine in the morning or serve you up a serious dose of relaxation at the end of the night, you need your mug to support all of your seasonal needs. Primarily, the need to carry a lot of warm liquid while being aesthetically pleasing for any potential #bookstagram opportunities.
