Unseelie had the most interesting twins in it and I loved seeing their similarities, their differences, and how they used both throughout the story! 🤎

I tend not to stray very far from my comfort zone of fantasy and fluffy romance, but I recently read WE’LL PRESCRIBE YOU A CAT, a translated novel about a magical mental health clinic that loans out cats to their patients. 🐈 It was absolutely fantastic in every way and became my first 5-star read of the year (outside of my rereads). 🙌🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Magical realism has always been a favorite genre of mine, but I usually struggle a lot with translated books. 😅 It was such a treat to immerse myself in this story and I can’t wait to read the sequel soon! 📖

The Best of Cozy Books for Fall

This post was originally published in September 2020. It has been revised and republished to reflect an updated list of cozy books to read this fall.

The Best of Cozy Books for Fall by The Espresso Edition cozy bookish blog

During the autumn season, I feel an intense desire to curl up with cozy books nearly every day.

There’s something about blustery afternoons, chilly rain showers, and the rapid cool-down that makes me want to dive into old favorites. I often find myself re-reading and I thoroughly enjoy a “comfort read” (you know, those books that feel like a giant hug). The books and series I’m sharing in this post are the epitome of comfort.

I’m not one for scary stories – even during spooky season – so rather than picking out truly terrifying reads, I went with cozy options and a couple of fantasy books that are sure to indulge that need for an adventure.

You certainly know how to make my day! Thank you so much for the encouragement 🙂 Those are definitely some classic fantasies. Have you read any of the other Chronicles of Narnia? My favorite is either The Horse and His Boy or The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. They’re so excellent. And YES – definitely check out The Switch. It was seriously adorable.

I haven’t read ANY of these. Such a shame! The one about the baker seems like such a cute story. I may have to pick that one up. I really need to renew my library card. I’m such a cheapie when it comes to books – I usually get titles at yard sales, but then it’s a big hunt for the right ones, lol.

The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living was adorable. I highly recommend reading The Late Bloomers’ Club first – since it introduces you to the characters – but it’s not totally necessary if you just want a sweet story set in the autumn and winter (primarily). I utilize the library almost exclusively (and audiobooks from Audible) and then I only buy books if I’ve read and loved them and want to read them again. My bookshelf is small but intentional 🙂

Thank you for the suggestions! I used to curl up with wonderful books and wrap myself in quiet, undisturbed evenings. Then I had kids…HAHA!

I will say that one of my top recommendations for busy mamas when it comes to reading is getting an Audible subscription (or utilizing any audiobook app). You can listen on-the-go! It’s not quite the same as curling up with a cozy read, but who knows.. soon enough your kiddos might want to join you for those comfy reading times!

I absolutely ADORE The Flatshare. It’s one of my favorite contemporary books of all time. I wasn’t sure how The Switch would compare, but I did truly love it. I appreciated how it wasn’t *so* based around the romantic aspect, and really touched on the different women living their lives at different ages. It was such a comforting read!

I’ve somehow always thought of the whole Harry Potter series as a December book, but I can totally see it fitting into an autumnal vibe. I really enjoyed reading The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living, and you know how much I love The Flatshare. I think I am gonna add A Darker Shade of Magic to my reading list – it sounds like the perfect escape with just the right hint of darkness.

I still haven’t gotten around to reading The Starless Sea though – just going through a very non-reading phase right now. 🙁

That’s so kind of you! Thank you so much, Shirsha. How interesting that you’d say that about Harry Potter. I suppose the wintery themes are strong as well, but I just think about the start of school, Halloween and witches, etc. as being so autumnal! I can’t help it hehe. I don’t know anyone else who has read The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living, so that makes me SUPER happy! Did you read The Late Bloomers’ Club as well? I think I preferred that one, to be honest, but they’re both so cute.

And the best part is that all her books are narrated by her in audiobook form, which makes them 10x more fun to listen to!

I’m guessing they get a bit more intense – as the movies sure do – but they’re still great to get lost in ☺️

I didn’t read them until I was in my 20’s (right before my wedding, actually) so I totally understand. I’d seen the movies a trillion times over, but it was fun to read all the missing elements in the books. I especially enjoyed the Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire!

I haven’t read the Chronicles of Narnia books for years. I definitely want to read it again this autumn. Lovely War sounds like an interesting book to read.

They’re just the most phenomenal books, really. So well-written and meaningful. They’ve taught me a lot in my life. And I JUST finished Lovely War and can easily say it’s one of my favorite books now – and that’s saying something considering I don’t usually enjoy historical fiction. It was so unique and well-done. The performance on Audible was to die for. Full cast and so many brilliant narrators!

It was chilly when I woke up this morning and all I could think about was how nice it would be to stay curled in bed reading a book instead of going to work! Autumn is definitely the perfect time to read. I’m still waiting for my copy of Midnight Sun from the library! Twilight is kind of a “guilty pleasure” read for me and sometimes you just need something silly and dramatic!

Eeek I love curling up to read in bed on a chilly day, with the windows open and a candle lit.. hot coffee or spiced mocha nearby. Mmmm now I wanna do that today haha! I hope you end up enjoying Midnight Sun. I’m definitely a Twihard and adored all the books and movies (they’re some of my most-read/watched) and I really feel like Stephenie did a phenomenal job with Edward’s perspective. I can easily say I liked it better than the original telling!

I definitely don’t have time to read this many books in one season, but so so many of these are jumping out at me! I feel like the city baker moving to the country is exactly my style! But I am also really intrigued by the two lives of Lydia Bird, because it sounds like such a compelling concept. I am so ready to curl up with some coffee and start reading something!

Haha! Well, I’m certainly not forcing anyone to read all of them right now, that’s for sure.. though I do suggest reading them all over time 😉 If you end up wanting to read The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living, I suggest checking out The Late Bloomers’ Club first because it does an excellent job introducing the characters (it’s just set in the summertime). Also, I absolutely adored The Two Lives of Lydia Bird. It made me cry.. multiple times.. which is a rarity when I’m reading!

Such a great list! I’m so excited to do some more reading this fall – perfect time to curl up with a book and warm drink. I recently finished listening to Lauren Graham’s memoir so would love to try her fiction book. “I Was Told It Would Get Easier” sounds super fun too – love the mother/daughter relationship and East Coast travel. I read The Flatshare last year and it was great!

The Falconer looks SO good. I love stories about Scotland and anything historical. I just ordered through your link and it’ll be here Sunday. So I have my day planned, tea, cozy blanket outside and this book. Thanks for the great reviews!

I really love getting the chance to see a great sibling dynamic in a book—especially in fantasy, and *especially especially* if they work together! 🤝🏼

Unseelie had the most interesting twins in it and I loved seeing their similarities, their differences, and how they used both throughout the story! 🤎

Have you read this one yet? ✨

I tend not to stray very far from my comfort zone of fantasy and fluffy romance, but I recently read WE’LL PRESCRIBE YOU A CAT, a translated novel about a magical mental health clinic that loans out cats to their patients. 🐈 It was absolutely fantastic in every way and became my first 5-star read of the year (outside of my rereads). 🙌🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Magical realism has always been a favorite genre of mine, but I usually struggle a lot with translated books. 😅 It was such a treat to immerse myself in this story and I can’t wait to read the sequel soon! 📖

I know they say “don’t judge a book by its cover,” but let’s be real… we all do it! 😂 When I saw the cover for The Lovers, I was instantly obsessed—and then I read the synopsis! I knew I needed it in my life right away, and I wasn’t disappointed. 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book is full of self-discovery, sapphic sweetness, and some truly hilarious moments that had me laughing til my stomach hurt. 🙌🏼 I loved every minute of it and about burst into tears when @berkleypub sent me a copy! 🥹

Rebekah’s storytelling was fantastic and I can’t wait to read her upcoming book, The Sun and the Moon, when it comes out in August! 📖

Typically, I’m someone who flies through series and prioritizes finishing them as soon as I possibly can. However, over the last few years, I’ve done a poor job completing all of the series I start, so I’m trying to make it a goal to finish them up! 👏🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some series that I’ve got on my list to finish:
📖 Girls of Paper and Fire
📖 Legacy of Orïsha (especially with the adaptation news!)
📖 Beasts of Prey
📖 The Inheritance Cycle
📖 The Atlas

I’ve also got several that I’d like to start… but that’s another story entirely. 🙈

I read The Charm Offensive a few years ago and instantly fell in love with Alison’s writing and the way the book made me feel so seen. 🥰

When I got an ARC of Kiss Her Once for Me, I was thrilled and once again inhaled the book. Yet again, it was a story that made me feel understood. 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I pretty much sobbed my way through Here We Go Again on audio and immediately purchased a physical copy so I could put myself through both the heartache and deep belly laughing again and again. 😅
