In this huge fall reading wrap-up, I’m chatting through everything I read across August, September, and October—about nine books total—so you’re getting the full spectrum: new favorites that absolutely hit the spot, solid recommendations I’d happily push into your hands, and a couple of duds that just didn’t work for me. If you love that cozy academia vibe with a little time travel, medieval fantasy energy, and the occasional sprinkle of romance, you’ll probably understand exactly why certain books worked for me (and why others didn’t). I also point you toward all the places where I track my reading and talk books outside of YouTube—because I’m always updating my thoughts as I go. If you want to read along with me, my Fable book clubs are where the real-time discussions happen, and they’re perfect if you like structured picks, buddy-read energy, and a community that actually wants to scream about plot twists together. This wrap-up is basically a seasonal check-in on my reading life, what I’m gravitating toward, and what I’m leaving behind as we move into the cozier months.
