Hi sweet friends! In this video I’m sharing my favorite fall book recommendations—everything from cozy, comforting reads to witchy, atmospheric stories and full-on gothic horror. I grouped the picks by vibe so it’s easy to match your mood (or your current journal spread): 🏛️ academia, 🍂 fall foliage, ☕️ cozy, 🕯️ atmospheric, and 🦇 gothic horror. If you’re craving candlelit libraries, forest-y magic, or moody old houses, this list is very much for you. For the academia mood, I’m talking about titles like Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco and Anatomy/Immortality by Dana Schwartz, plus a few that feel especially bookish and curious. For peak autumn scenery, I’m recommending reads like An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson and Dreamer’s Pool by Juliet Marillier. Then we get into my coziest picks—like Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa—before leaning into the lush, atmospheric side with books like Starling House by Alix E. Harrow and The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi. And if you want the darker edge of fall, I end with gothic horror picks like House of Roots and Ruin by Erin A. Craig. Please share your own fall favorites with me—I genuinely love adding to my TBR.
