Gather in these hallowed halls
madsbooks created a list
if books were a season: fall edition
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

Fictional books that feel like a warm hug, featuring magic and whimsy and perfectly happy endings. These are lower on stakes and higher on good vibes!

They’re bound by flame, united by flight. These books all have dragon riders as part of the plot. Only the first of a series will appear.

madsbooks commented on a List
the irreverent sarcasm and/or satire runs deep
books w sense of humor (or voice) that's A) so subtle and cleverly disguised you could blink and miss it B) so blatant it's like being hit over the head C) so outrageous it's honestly just absurd D) drier than the sahara desert E) rather tongue-in-cheek F) all (or at least more than one) of the above
(some are more obvious than others since some are clearly intended to be satirical and others were just written in such a dry voice it made me chortle)
