It’s fall! Grab a steaming mug of hot chocolate and a blanket, and curl up with one of these perfect cozy fall books. . .

Can you imagine it’s fall already?! Honestly the best way to spend those brisk fall days is to curl up with a good book, under a blanket and in front of a fireplace (if you have one of course).

You know the best books to read in the fall? Books filled to the brim with atmosphere! And by atmosphere I mean books that rely heavily on setting, on the feel of the scenes. You know you’re reading a good atmospheric book when you pick one up and the next time you look up it’s a different time of day outside. . .

Need a next great read? These books are the perfect fall reads, I’ll be honest they’re a little spooky but what’s fall without a little spook? So go to your closest reading nook and get lost in these books. . .
