Get Cozy! 30 Books with Major Autumn Vibes

Posted by Cybil on August 28, 2023


Autumn, as a season, has a particular vibe. It’s the season of winding down, of things ending. The days get shorter and colder—in the northern hemisphere, anyway. It’s a melancholy kind of vibe. A good time for reading.
 
In an effort to roll with the season, we’ve gathered below 30 books that conjure that elusive autumn vibe. This has been a totally unscientific and largely intuitive process, cutting across various genres, styles, and moods. Like autumn itself, the books here can get a little creepy, a little cozy, and occasionally a little Gothic.
 
You’ll find universally acclaimed classics along with new historical fiction and some very recent titles that ride that autumnal vibe. Also watch for back-to-school stories and the usual Halloween parade: ghosts, vampires, witches, and assorted weirdness.
 
Click on the book cover images for more information about each title, and feel free to add any autumn leads to your Want to Read shelf. If you have any additional suggestions for your fellow Goodreaders, post them below in the comments section.

Angela Great selection here. I would recommend A Discovery of Witches in the All Souls Trilogy. The book really has that autumnal, eerie vibe, especially with since it features settings like Oxford and Massachusetts during the fall.

Sophie Egaña I would add Coraline by Neil Gaiman and Heaven by V.C. Andrews

Macy Can we get book recs that specifically take place DURING fall? I keep reading "fall vibes" books that take place in summer and winter, for example.
