20+ book recommendations for a spooky, witchy, cozy fall 🍂 fantasy, thrillers, horror, dark academia

[@LibrariesandLattes]

I really need to use a thesaurus… Feel free to tally up the amount of times I say “atmospheric,” “spooky”, cozy,” “gothic,” “vibes,” and “moody.” 😂😳🤦‍♀️

[@adarkcornerofthelibrary]

I do the same thing! 😂

[@ellenmadebookclub]

That’s pretty much the essence of fall though 😊

[@itsmimiduong]

SAME THO 😭 I'm always struggling for adjectives!!

[@themodernbookwoman]

Great recs!! The Familiar is on my fall tbr! I loved the Anatomy duology! And Legendborn is one of my FAVE series!! I cannot wait for the third book!! Addie LaRue is so good for fall vibes. 👌🏼

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thank you!! I hope you’ll love The Familiar! So glad you loved some of these books I mentioned too 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@itsmimiduong]

The Familiar sounds so good for fall!! But of course, big focus for me on the cozy romance 😂 But Spells for Forgetting sounds so enticing with plot. The mystery aspect of it makes it interesting for me! You definitely reminded me I had Holly Jackson on my TBR for so long. Maybe I'll finally get into the series for this fall. But my favorite part has to be your cat having the best of its life going up and across your bookshelves 😍

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Cozy romance (and fantasy) is where it’s at!! Yeah Spells For Forgetting was definitely a cool mix of elements! And yay, hopefully you can get to A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder soon 😊 Haha yeah she really wanted to be the center of attention!! 😹

[@Sullisreading]

Taking notes!! So many of these look so good. The Hollow Kingdom sounds so fun 😂 also love a cat cameo! Haha also loved Legendborn, definitely a great series for fall.

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Yay, hope you can find one (or more) from here that you love!! Yes Legendborn was so good. Thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@BonnieNicoleWrites]

I usually don't like seasonal reading, but I am really feeling it this year! I'm ready for all the cozy and witchy and fall vibes! Thanks for all the recommendations.

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Yay, I hope you can get in the fall reading mood and pick up some good books! You’re very welcome, and thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@ShawnBrink-xj3eh]

I enjoy light horror in particular. Thanks for sharing your list in that genre. I'll have to check out those titles.

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Nice! Hope you find some that you enjoy! Thanks for watching 😊

Lots of good recommendations on here for autumn! Ace of Spades is a favorite for me. Mexican Gothic is another book I loved.

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks for watching!! So glad you loved both of those too 😊

[@ellenmadebookclub]

Lots of good recommendations! I have a few of em on my lists already, like Mexican gothic. Hollow kingdom sounds like a fun time. The one with the kid who draws sound intriguing as well but very creepy

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks friend! Hope you can get to Mexican Gothic and Hollow Kingdom!! Yeah Hidden Pictures is quite creepy, maybe don’t read it before bed if you do end up reading it 😂😳

[@subhareadsbooks]

I’m hoping to read The Familiar next month! Okay, I’ve seen the Anatomy duology at the library a few times but wasn’t sure about YA. I feel like YA is hit or miss for me but if you love it then I might have to pick it up! I love that we have similar tastes because the books you’re recommending are ones that I want to read or have read! AH, the very secret society is one of my favorite books! It’s the best!!! I can’t wait for the sequel! Unfortunately I did not like Legends and Lattes very much. I’m pretty sure I DNFed it. I love cozy but it was just TOO cozy for me. 😂 Legendborn is the perfect fall read, i agree! Okay, Hidden PIctures is on KU right now so i should read it ASAP! These are all such good recommendations! Thank you for sharing. I am SO SO ready for fall!!!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Ooo I hope you’ll love The Familiar!! Hopefully you can check some of these other ones out and like them as much as I did! Totally get it about Legends and Lattes, haha there definitely isn’t a lot going on there plot wise 😂 I’m so excited for fall too! Thanks for watching, friend ❤️

[@Laura_Reads]

I’ve either read and enjoyed or want to read pretty much all of these! 😂 I think our tastes align pretty well!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Haha nice, I love that!! Thanks for watching! 😊❤️🎃

[@booksmitin]

I was debating on Spells For Forgetting. Thanks for your review of that!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Oh nice, hope you’ll love it! No problem, and thanks for watching 😊❤️

[@HannahlovesStories]

So many good recommendations! 🍁🍂

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thank you!! 😊❤️🍁🎃

[@readingwithkaylav]

If we were villains sounds really good, definitely adding to by TBR! In the past, I haven’t really read a lot of thrillers, dark academia or anything spooky, but I’ve been dipping my toes in. I really enjoyed the ruthless boys of the zodiac series, and a few great YA thrillers! This poison heart was so so good and I can’t wait to read the next one and I’m reading the naturals right now 🫶🫶 thanks for these great recommendations!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Yay, I hope you’ll love that one! I’ve been interested in checking out The Naturals and will have to check out the other ones you mentioned as well. Thanks for watching! 😊❤️

[@Chenoaschapters]

I have Legendborn on my TBR for this month!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Yay, I hope you love it!! Perfect time to read it! 😀🍂📚🍁

[@BooksByAnneleen]

I’ve slowly been adding all of the Grady Hendrix books to my TBR cause they all sound so hilarious! I read Hörrorstör a while back and it wasn’t even scary 😂

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Haha nice, yeah I’d be interested in reading more of his books! Definitely more into the funny, light horror than true horror 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@adarkcornerofthelibrary]

Great recs! I've been so wishy washy with Addie Larue- some friends have loved it but I don't know why I haven't tried to pick it up 🤷🏻‍♀ Same with if we were villians- I am just not a shakespeare fan haha. I def need to get to Ace of Spades! I've never heard of Hollow Kingdom but sounds right up my alley 😅

[@LibrariesandLattes]

I totally get it, I’ve definitely heard mixed reviews on Addie LaRue! And if you’re really opposed to Shakespeare, then you might get annoyed by If We Were Villains, haha. Yes I think you would enjoy Hollow Kingdom, it’s unique for sure 😂 Thanks for watching!!

[@goodmornindreamer]

Hello! Had to stop on by and hear about your recommendations 🥰 I keep forgetting that I have The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and haven't read it yet. I need to try to get to it this year now! Love the kitty cameos as well 😍

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks for so much for watching and commenting!! ❤️ Ooo, I hope you love Addie LaRue, it is really one of my favorites! And yes my cat always loves to act wild when I’m filming 😂

[@goodmornindreamer]

@@LibrariesandLattes I'm sure I will! I can't wait to pick it up 🥰 haha cats just know that it's their chance to shine when the camera turns on🤣

[@LibrariesandLattes]

@@goodmornindreamer so exciting!! And yeah so true, cats are little attention hogs 😂 and of course mine doesn’t want anything to do with me unless I’m filming, haha!

[@goodmornindreamer]

@@LibrariesandLattes hahaha cats are something else! All of our cats love me, but one of them can't stand my fiancé 🤣

[@Curious-Cat]

So many good recs!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Thanks!! 😀🍁❤️
