books i’ve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall
no rhyme or reason, just ✨vibes✨
**i’m including some cozy fantasy/spooky season/fall-occurring books, but this list is also meant to expand beyond those limited sub-genres to include books i think would hit different if read during fall or majorly incorporate elements i associate w fall like mountains/forests, adventures, murder, small towns, seasons of change/hardship, grittiness, dark academia, pirates, etc
