15 Autumn Books to Keep Us Cosy

“Too late, I found you can’t wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.”
Something Wicked This Way Comes

Hello, dearies! 🎪

Following the trend of it’s autumn! 🍂 Have I mentioned before that I love autumn, fall if you must, I call it both.

So, there are some books (okay, a lot) that I discovered that could be read during this time, or any time, but that I thought would go well with the fall season, I said cosy but is more related to the season 🎃 or the months than actually heart-warming or any other warmth you can think of. Rambling.

Okay, I’ll start now with the 15 books to keep us cosy this autumn.

I haven’t read these books, I think, but here is a new book challenge for find that book with... This, referring to different types of book covers, titles, or anything a book like a flower, city, and the sort.

Alright, alright, I’ll jump straight to it.

Now, let’s go into this book challenge.

HP and The Deathly Hallows

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

Author: J.K Rowling

Saga: Harry Potter Book #7

Genre: Epic Fantasy, Young Adult, Drama, Magic, Urban, and so much magic and fantasy

Hello, dearies! 🪄

We have arrived at this one at last, it was a long road while I talked about each book. All reviews here.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, I remember being so excited because the final book would come soon, and I had re-read The Half-Blood Prince a couple of times already because it was so good, not the end but that just made you want to read the next book more.

Smashwords Annual Summer/Winter Sale: Book Listing

Are you looking for a new book to read?

Hello, dearies! 📚

Did you know about Smashwords Annual sales for Summer/Winter? They do this awesome book sales depending on what authors set up in their account, you could find a free book, a 25%, 75% or 50%.

So, here are some cool book titles that I saw and wanted to share with you.

Check out the list, this is fantasy related, so be warned on that.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: TBT

‘It was much pleasanter at home,’ thought poor Alice, ‘when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet — and yet — it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what can have happened to me! When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I’ll write one.’

Author: Lewis Carroll

Genre: Nonsense Literature, Fantasy, Adventure

When did I read it? Ages ago.

Hello, dearies! 🫖

When I was little, I loved watching the Disney movie of Alice in Wonderland. Just a fun fact for you.

I didn’t read the book until my teenage days and found it as nuts as you can imagine.

It’s not bad. It’s just a lot of things happening.

Lock Every Door

‘No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both.’ But then, no more depth as you read it…

Genre: Suspense, Drama (more drama), Mystery, Audiobook

Author: Riley Sager

3.5 ⭐️

Not what you would expect. Or what you wanted. 🫠

When you have a title that it’s Lock Every Door, you would think that there’s more suspense or paranormal. So, be warned ⚠️ it might not be what you thought and not in the ooh-such-a-good plot twist.

The Keeper: A Stars Above Story

“It’s an unassuming name, but also . . . powerful. Because of where she came from.”

Series: The Lunar Chronicles

Book: Stars Above

Story: The Keeper

Author: Marissa Meyer

Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult, Science Fiction, Retellings, Short Stories

This will be short. 😆

So, I am slowly but surely making my way through the stories in Stars Above. I read it all in the wrong order, so don’t judge me. You can check my other reviews for it here.

This one, The Keeper, is the first story in the book. If you have ever read The Lunar Chronicles book 1 to 4, then you will probably be into reading this one. If you haven’t already.

And Then There Were None: Quick View

“But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.”

Author: Agatha Christie

Genre: Classics, Fiction, Crime, Thriller, Mystery Thriller, Mystery

First time I read this one was like fifteen years ago, and yes, this is a classic mystery that I would recommend, and that sucks you in, unlike other mystery or thrillers I have read where there is not much to it.

I don’t mean to be so dismissive of new stories, but some of those books leave me with a sense of: meh. I cannot help. Even if I do have a section on Mystery/Thriller here on the blog because I recently read more books in that genre than I ever did in the past.

Anyway, going back to And Then There Were None, which even for my young mind, it was quite good and left me wondering about it for a few days. I don’t remember the whole meat in the middle of it, but I know that I liked it.

“Throughout our lives, no one could figure out how we were so close, but when friendships begin with cupcakes—chocolate, at that—no truer bond develops.”
