Fantasy books, to me, give the best Fall vibes. Dragon riding and epic battles? Sign me up! I loved this book and the series is so fun. Perfect for curling up under a warm blanket during a cool, foggy, fall day!
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yaros
BK Borison is my personal favorite author and this book is her newest release! It’s a bit of spooky but also Christmas-y wrapped up into one. Definitely looking forward to reading this around Christmas time!
Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
A fantasy book about Sapphic Vampires spanning over 500 years calls for a great Spooky Season read. I started reading this book during the summer but ultimately put it down because I just knew I would enjoy it more during October. I highly recommend!...
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab
Fall I Want is a feel-good, spicy small-town, romantic comedy with a billionaire who falls first and harder!
Tropes: Billionaire Romance
Fake Dating
He Falls First
Extra Spice
I have yet to read this book myself but it is definitely on my TBR for thi...
Fall I Want by Lyra Parrish
A Romance Adult book set during the fall season. This book is 1/4 of a series but they all can be read as a standalone if you really don’t want to commit to all of them (even though I highly recommend you do because B.K Borrison writes the Best book ...
Business Casual (Lovelight, #4) by B.K. Borison
A witch swears she will never get a new cat, but then a random one crosses her path and she’s fully drawn to him. Turns out, he’s a demon? This was just a fun read for me. It’s dual POV, fated mates, & forced proximity.
It was not an amazing over...
Spookily Yours (Witches of Pleasant Grove Book 1)
This book isn’t necessarily set during the Fall season, but it does follow a Mortician who has to be married by his 35th birthday in order to keep his family business, so gives it a little more spooky vibes. It’s an opposites attract romantic dramedy...
Morbidly Yours (Love in Galway, #1) by Ivy Fairbanks
The first book in the series, a companion to Mate. Just spicy romance & werewolves, nothing else to know. Perfect for the spooky season vibes!
Bride by Ali Hazelwood
This is a companion novel to Bride by Hazelwood. It’s spicy romance & werewolves, need I say more? (Team Jacob anyone???)
Mate by Ali Hazelwood
This is a Queer, Sci-Fi, Fantasy retelling of the Green Man Folklore. The Wild Man is the keeper of the woods and Henry is a newcomer who disrupts the order of said woods. The imagery is so well written and the love between Henry and the Wild Man is ...
Silver in the Wood (The Greenhollow Duology, #1) by Emily Tesh
The second book in the Greenhollow Duology. I will not spoil too much but it does continue on the Queer romance you find in the first book. The folkloric themes is captivating through its lyrical prose, the author does a great job in creating such a ...
Drowned Country (The Greenhollow Duology, #2) by Emily Tesh
I’ve just started to read this book and it’s so good! It’s a dark fantasy and has a lot of heavy themes, so I would not recommend for the faint of heart or young readers. It’s also a long book, with 1000 pages of reading.
Yes it was originally writt...

Young Adult Reads
These are books more geared for young adult readers! They’re enjoyable by all but are more targeted for a younger audience!
A YA LGBTQ+ (mlm) novel perfect for spooky season. It’s deeply rooted in Latinx culture and is so beautifully written. It’s part paranormal fantasy, part mystery, and part slow burn romance.
Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
A fun graphic novel about friendship, adventure, and coming of age. It’s set at a pumpkin patch, following two teens navigating their last day together. I have yet to read it but it’s been on my TBR for so long, I have heard such great things about i...
Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks
This book is a bit older but still such a great read. It follows two teens who are strangers to each other but communicate through a book they leave in different spots. They push each other to take risks and push their boundaries and grow comfortable...
Dash & Lily's Book of Dares
I have yet to read this one, and honestly plan on going into this one pretty blind. From what I can tell so far it follows a young witch whose magic only works on bread, and she creates an army of gingerbread men? I’m hooked!
A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher
A YA retelling of Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night,’ built around a Roleplaying Video Game and follows two teenagers trying to figure out who they are. Another one I have yet to read but I love retellings of a classic! Plus this one as GrumpyxSunshine wr...
Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth
Another cutesy YA romance book about a girl just trying to have the perfect Christmas, and maybe kiss the cute boy next door.
Talk Santa to Me by Linda Urban
A cute holiday romance. It’s a friends to lovers with a sort of second chance plot line!
It’s a quick read and something nice to just cozy up with on a cold winter day.
Mint to Be by Katie Cicatelli-Kuc
A cozy, autumn, closed door read. It is fluffy and cute, centered around 2 teens that were once best friends but no longer want much to do with each other anymore.
Falling Like Leaves (Bramble Falls, #1) by Misty Wilson
