Top 5 Cozy Fall Reads

Fall has… fallen? Or is it summer that fell? Well this cheesy pun went sideways in a hurry. Moving on.

This week on the Bionic Bookworm’s Top 5 Tuesday, we discuss our favourite cozy fall reads. To be honest, I don’t truly know what that even means. Books that take place in Fall? Books that feel like leaves falling to the ground? Books that give you the same feeling as being snuggled up, cozy and warm, while the weather is outside isn’t so warm? I just MIGHT be making this up as I go along. COME ALONG!

Harry Potter and the [Insert Random Object Here]

It’s probably something about the back to school aspect of each one, and the overall feeling that it’s a little cool during the day, but nice and warm in the house common room.

The Raven Boys

I can’t confirm that this took place during the fall, but again, it FELT like fall. I got the impression of people walking across/through leaves on the ground, and a chill in the air that wasn’t quite winter. And I’m pretty sure it was at the start of the school year. P.S. I have a terrible memory.

The Graveyard Book

Graveyards are beautiful, but not the warmest place. So how does this qualify as Cozy? I don’t know. Didn’t you read the part about me making it all up as I go along? When you look at a graveyard, unless there’s snow on the ground, it pretty much always looks like fall. It’s the relationships in this one are the warmth. We should all be so lucky as to have an entire graveyard looking out for us.

Something Wicked this Way Comes

I’m pretty sure this one talks about October over and over again. So, I think that’s where it comes from.

The Catcher in the Rye

Another one of those ‘feel‘ books. I think it takes place near the end of the school year, but it still gives me a strong impression of being inside, under a blanket, sipping hot chocolate by a fireplace.

Fun fact about this post: I’m gearing up for a brand new type of post that will hopefully make its first appearance THIS WEEK!
