items It's getting cold and windy and those park reading days are quickly becoming reading days spent curled under a blanket with a hot chocolate. These are my favorite books to read when the weather gets chilly and the leaves start to change.
Fairies, enemies to lovers, and twintrigue oh my
The Cruel Prince (Folk of the Air Series #1) by Holly Black, Paperback
Oh you wanted to survive college??? Go to a state school.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Cairo is flooded with Djinn… and maybe other magical creatures. At the turn of the century. Literally takes an afternoon to read.
The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djèlí Clark
Angels are nothing like what you thought.
A Dead Djinn in Cairo
Group of women share an apartment, not Single White Female: Single Japanese Female. (Nobody dies, unless you count the social death that comes with being scared to go outside.)
Princess Jellyfish by Akiko Higashimura
I read this a week before I went to Japan and I was very scared to ride the train and/or walk down the street. 10/10
In the Miso Soup by Ryū Murakami
Boarding school girls with boarding school girl secrets get tangled up in a murder mystery that twists through every imaginable loophole before it is solved by our Scottish detectives. I didn't read any of the other books in the series, this one stan...
In the Woods (Dublin Murder Squad #1) by Tana French
So cutesy bootsy. A girl who writes (cough Drarry cough) fanfiction goes to college and finds herself as part of… well, her own OTP slowburn romance, basically. If you've ever read fanfic or been a teen, you'll get it.
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
The movie is good but this? This is better. Howl in the book is the most incorrigible flirt and scamp that ever was and Sophie, our beloved anxious queen, is as witchy as Howl every hoped to be. This is my comfort read to end all comfort reads.
Howl's Moving Castle #1 - Diana Wynne Jones
Religion, mayhem, and a thousand year long enemies to… well. not enemies? It's perfect. I can read this over and over. It's funny, it's smart, it's beguilingly simple (will they stop the end of the world or will the book just end???) Perfect for a co...
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
The three witches face off against the Fairi-- erm.. I mean… the lords and ladies. Terry Pratchett is a genius, and every Discworld book is a delight. But something about cranky Granny Weatherwax, absurd Nanny Ogg, and tittering Magrat Garlick having...
Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett
Vasko Popa is one of my absolute favorite poets of all time. His poetry is just… beautiful. Simple. Elegant. It makes you think, but it's not trying to. It's just that interesting. Perfect for staying cozy and having a good think.
Vasko Popa (poems by Vasko Popa)
The Half World isn't our world, but it's also not heaven or hell. It's limbo, or purgatory, or maybe just forgotten. That's where Melanie Tamaki's parents are, and that's where she has to go to get them back.
Half World by Hiromi Goto
Alice in Wonderland is real, but Alyss Heart can't believe the author Lewis Carroll would mangle her story so badly in his book. She has to return to Wonderland before her Aunt Redd ruins it forever.
The Looking Glass Wars #1 - Frank Beddor
