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.
Nothing wrong with making it up as you go along! Lol
And yes… HP should definitely make it… probable on most lists today.
Nice list! Harry Potter will definitely be the common denominator in today’s lists 😄
I’m planning on reading The Raven Boys this Fall, it totally gives me Autumnal vibes 👌🏼
So many books I want to read it soon 😗😗
I would love to read The Graveyard Book!
Oh, your list is as eclectic as mine is. 😉
It sure is. Eclectic, and unknown to someone like me! I’ve heard of City of Brass, but the rest of your list is new to me.
OOOH! Exciting! I can’t wait to see what this type of post is!
Great choices by the way! Some of these I really want to get to at some point…
I DID just start listening to Harry Potter for the first time, and my goodness, I didn’t think I could be impressed by these books after all this time, and yet here I am, completely in awe of this series, it’s writing, and the magic behind it.
Of course Harry and the raven Boys! Great choices Joe 😉
You must be shocked that I didn’t put in RPO or Red Rising. Though, now that I think of it…
