my favorite books to read in autumn 🍂

Hello friends!
Today I wanted to do more of a chatty video where I share some of my favorite books to read during autumn. I love recommending books that I think you'll like, but this time I wanted to share my absolute personal favorites. These are books that make me feel fall to my core. I know this video is a bit of a different style than usual, but I just wanted to spend a relaxing evening chatting about fall books and enjoying a nice warm cup of tea 🧡

Your aesthetic and your talent in videography are extraordinary! Your videos feel like a warm hug, that's the only way I can describe it! ❤️

I would loveeee to hear your book recommendations for those of us who like to embrace the autumn season itself, but aren’t into anything scary or Halloween related. Just all the coziness, nature, and the comfort of fall. ☕️🍂🍁

Darling Desi is like the Taylor Swift of this comfy cozy romanticizing your life YouTube world. The best vibes always

I love your videos so much! Started binge-watching them yesterday and already decorated far autumn, made a movie list, bucket list etc…just amazing vibes :) 🍂❤️

You always upload at the perfect time - just made a cup of tea in my new pumpkin mug! 📖☕️🍂🎃 thanks Desi, can’t wait to watch this!

[tracyjordan]

Yes! I've read the entire Practical Magic series! I still have all my old Nancy Drew books ( I'm 53). Ahh....Autumn vibes!

I recommended this under your last video aswell but I'm gonna recommend it again in case anyone's interested: Prose and Cons by Amanda Flower is a really lovely cozy murder mystery set in autumn, with a magical tree in a bookshop, a cat, a crow and a bookclub hosting an Edgar Allan Poe reading. it's really lovely!
edit: someone just pointed out to me that it's actually part of a series (and the 2nd one at that) which I had no idea cause it reads like a standalone but I guess it's probably best to start at Crime and Poetry. (which I'm gonna read as soon as I can get my hands on it)

The Graveyard Book is one of my Al time favorites! The audiobook with the full cast is pretty incredible!

Hello Desi, I was so happy when I saw you posted a new video! September is a lovely time but at the same time, school starts and as a new teacher, it makes me anxious. That's why i love your videos, they calm me down and remind me, that there are so many things to appreciate during this wonderful season!🍂

[vickythinks]

I can really listen to you for days talk about book that you love, that want to read and re-read. You inspire me to read and have that craving to immers my self into new stories aswell🤎🤎🤍🤍🧡🧡💛💛

[kiraasay]

So many of these went straight into my Amazon cart- thanks for the recommendations!
I would so love to do another Gilmore Girls readathon this fall! 🍁🍂📚☕️

Hey Desi! Today’s my first day of school and I’m super excited to watch this when I get home! I’m currently reading a few autumnal books! I’m reading Cackle, Anatomy: A Love Story, and Small Favors! They’re all so good!!! I cant wait to read your other book recommendations! Also, your background is so cool! Someday I hope I can decorate like that! Thanks for all your hard work Desi!! 🍂🧡

[nicip]

Thank you for sharing! I wanted to mention that A discovery of witches was made into a small series on Sundance now. They did a wonderful job of matching the feeling and story to the books. The actors are all amazing and it’s a great fall watch!!

[robinowens]

Practical Magic is my all time favorite book. I love that she decided to write a series

[EveryFurtherMile]

Your videography is always so I can't get over how much I love how you put together videos. What a vibe!

[emilylee]

So happy to see you post a new video Desi. This is such a wonderful way to start September! Looking forward to autumn 🍂 hope everyone is doing great 😌

Hi Desi! I am once again recommending the Lockwood & co books because they are so perfect for fall and I'm hoping that at least one person sees this comment and takes me up on this. Middle grade, set in London, with a group of young teenagers who run a company called Lockwood and Co that takes care of ghosts and supernatural phenomena that are plaguing the citizens of London. The first book (The Screaming Staircase) is set in fall, and it's soo spooky but also cosy, with descriptions of all the food they eat between cases, and the fun tumble-down house where they live. I think it's super underrated and I want to see more people read it!

Frankenstein is such a great choice! I know you can get a lot done with audiobooks, but sometimes I tune out and miss a lot. Personally, I like hearing the characters develop a voice as I read. The words disappear and it's like I'm there watching it all unfold.
