I just read Howel's Moving Castle this month! I'm dying to get my hands on the movie but I can't find it anywhere! Great video as always Jay!

Unfortunately it isn't available to stream anywhere. But you can find blu-ray/dvd copies out there. I always see it, along with other Ghibli movies, at my local Barnes and Noble.

I’m so glad to see someone mentioning The Belgariad! There’s a follow up series, The Mallorean. I read The Belgariad in high school when I worked in a bookstore. I was thrilled when they later wrote The Mallorean. I reread both these every few years. They are fantastic.

[@janab.9127]

My favourite, too, i usually turn to the audiobooks in winter :) and the two other novels Belgarath and Polgara, telling the story before the Belgariad series are wonderful :)

[@ellias]

I LOVE HOWLS MOVING CASTLE MOVIE SO MUCH. I read the book in a lodge during winter next to a fire on a red leather couch when i was 11 or 12 i can't remember but it was a special book during that time. Your videos are ALWAYS TOP NOTCHED 100000%. REDWALL (so much nostalgia) have you read the flying dutchman also by brian jaques? those were great times as well great video as always Jay :)

[@CapturedInWords]

That scene just sounds so cozy, now I feel like I should rent a lodge in the winter SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of reading! :D Redwall is amazing! I never did read the flying dutchman books by him but I always wanted to! I might have to pick those up at some point Thanks Ellias!

[@jacob3386]

so cool to see someone on here talk about the belgariad! i've hardly seen anyone else talk about it and it's one of my favourite fantasy series!

[@janab.9127]

That's my favourite of all times! Belgarath was my very first fantasy novel that I read - during a vacation at the seaside :) and it is a love for life! The perfect series to listen to as audiobook in winter evenings!

[@manisekarkarthickraja4928]

I’m so glad to hear someone talk about David Eddings!!!!!!! He doesn’t get enough love. He’s one of my all time favorite authors, and a go to for anytime I need a comfort read. I also love listening to The Belgariad on audio. I still need to read all the others, though I am halfway through listening to Neil Gaiman narrate Neverwhere and it’s brilliant. I’d also recommend The Graveyard Book by him.

[@CapturedInWords]

I really wish more people talked about The Belgariad! I haven't listened to the audio books, but I might do that for my re-read! I've been interested in The Graveyard Book for awhile, so i'll definitely have to give that a read soon

I love the Belgariad! So good! And The Princess Bride is an amazing book! I tried rereading Redwall earlier this year but then I got to a part where someone was on a mission to rescue some people who had been kidnapped. Then he just decides to stop for tea... So I DNF’ed and decided to just stick with my fond memories of reading it as a child.

I'm in the middle of Howl's Moving Castle. I get so hungry when I read especially Harry Potter. The Princess Bride! Is my favourite. It just make me so happy. I just reread the book over and over. Neverwherevus one of the few Gaimsn novels I haven't read yet. They are not always hits for me but there is something completely compelling about his writing. Even though I am not a horror fan, Ocean At the End of The Lane is my favourite by him. Excellent list like always 😀

Glad you enjoyed Mort, it's one of my favorites Wait until you get to the Witches they are awesome. Granny Weatherwax is a force to be reckoned with. In terms of Neil Gaiman I'd say check out Stardust and The Graveyard book.

[@CapturedInWords]

I can't wait to get further into Discworld because Mort was brilliant! And thanks for the recommendations, I've been meaning to read both of those for awhile now! I watched the movie for Stardust a long time ago but don't remember too much, so I'll for sure have to read the book!

[@timothyhansen7026]

Great list again! Thanks for the recommendations. And I'm so glad that you started a discworld book!! I HIGHLY recommend listening to the audiobook for 'The Wee Free Men'; Stephen Briggs brings the characters to life in a very unique and compelling way. (Maybe do a video exploring some of your favorite narrators? Jim Dale and Stephen Briggs are mine). Another book you should read (but changing gears a bit) is 'Till We Have Faces' by C.S. Lewis.

[@CapturedInWords]

I will definitely try out the audio book for The Wee Free Men! I'm always looking for some good audio books, so thanks for the recommendation! :D and I've actually been meaning to make a video about my favorite narrators at some point! I've read all the Narnia books and a few of his essays but I've been wanting to read some more C.S. Lewis! will for sure give 'Till We Have Faces' a read soon :)

[@crgaming8102]

Yesss I was waiting for this mate, thank you !

[@ryanlol5786]

I’d personally recommend Philip Pullman’s Northern Lights as a cozy read. It’s pretty different from the other two books in the His Dark Materials series and is much more focused on world building and it’s great main character. It doesn’t feel the need to rush things like the other two HDM books and stays enchanting and wondrous throughout. There’s a certain relaxing quality to Pullman’s writing that pulled me in and had me thinking about all the whimsical concepts and spins on existing ideas that were so tightly packed into his Alternate-Universe Oxford. Please do note I’m only recommending Northern Lights and ONLY Northern Lights as a comfy read, the other two books are just as great, in my opinion, but the series quickly expands along with Pullman’s ambition and the story became way more grand from there.

[@jeremydanchuk1897]

Awesome to see Gaiman get some respect for more then just American Gods(though American Gods is AWESOME), Neverwhere gets no where near enough respect. For David Eddings, I prefer the Elenium over the Belgariad, both are good, but I found the Elenium a little more polished, also Sparhawk's horse kicks ass. If you have read Name of the wind and have not read Slow regard of silent things, I would recommend it, nice short novella on one of the more unusual characters from that series.

[@DStudden]

I was really hoping you'd do another of these videos this year! There's a couple of these I'd never heard of, like Mort, which sound amazing so I'll definitely have to give them a go

[@Law-of-EnTropy]

@@CapturedInWords I've finished the video and I also want to add _The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland With A Ship Of Her Own Making_ by Catherynne Valente is a great book for Fall. I mean, the protagonist's name is September, and she loves Holloween and orange things. Another one, also a Neil Gaiman recommendation, is _Ocean at the End of Lane_ . That book, I can only describe as, a book to read on a cozy couch on a cold day while sipping warm coffee in front of a hearth, painting the room orange.

[@austinmcglothlin275]

I'm a huge Neil Gaiman fan and some of his ABSOLUTE BEST works that I'd recommend are "American Gods", "Ocean at the End of the Lane", "Good Omens", and "Stardust". All very different stories and 3 of these have been adapted to film or tv in some way. "Ocean at the End of the Lane" and "Stardust" are much shorter and simpler reads and a great small excursion but the other 2 books are probably his best. Also, he co-wrote "Good Omens" with Terry Pratchett.

[@artbyandia]

I was suprised by how much I loved "Howl's Moving Castle" especially because I thought the movie was just alright. It is one of my favourites and it gives me warm feelings. I didn't like the sequels much though. I need to check "The Belgariad" and I wonder if I should read "The Princess Bride" because I love the movie so much. I would also say "Reaper Man" by Terry Pratchett fits here, since I like it more than "Mort", and "Wyrd Sisters". My favourite books by Neil Gaiman are "Coraline", "The Sleeper and the Spindle" and "American Gods". "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is also quite good.

[@gloriagloria716]

I love Patrick Rothfuss Name of the Wind but a couple of others I favour are Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke and Bone and also Stephan R Donaldson's The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

[@tpstps85]

I just finished the first 2 books of The Mirror Visitor quartet by Christelle Dabos, A Winters Promise and The Missing of Clairdelune (next 2 still not translated) and they gave me such a Gibli feeling, the world is really original, and they feel really cozy but not without some darkness to them. Really recomend.

I'm watching this at the end of January, but I mean.. You can always enjoy some coziness, right? :D Also I CANNOT believe that I just found out that Howl's moving castle is by Diana Wynne Jones? The first book I ever called my "favourite book" was by her. It was Power of Three, actually. Sadly I don't own it anymore and I don't know if I'd like it as much nowadays as I did back then, but I might just have to get a copy and re-read it. Thank you for making me remember part of my childhood ❤️

[@ammalyrical5646]

Definitely, a book I'd put on this list is the comedic fantasy The Mis-Adventurers an (Almost) Epic Tale by Steven Partridge. Or maybe the Riftwar Cycle by Raymond E. Feist.

[@andrewreising4541]

Gaiman recommendations: The Graveyard Book is a YA retelling of The Jungle Book, but with the Mogli-esque character being raised by spirits in a graveyard rather than animals in the jungle. Good stuff. Good Omens is a collaboration between Gaiman and Pratchett about an angel and a demon trying to stop the apocalypse. Bonus: a six-episode miniseries adaptation of this book just came out on Amazon this summer, and Gaiman was actually the showrunner for it. Snow, Glass, Apples is a short story retelling of Snow White that might be my favorite thing that Gaiman has ever written.

[@wndwalker]

For Neil Gaiman books I really recommend Stardust the story of Tristan Thorn who goes to collect a star for the girl he loves. The fantasy world he goes into is so magical and interesting it really made me fall in love with fantasy as a child and I still re read it to this day. The Graveyard Book is also exciting- a bit more halloweeny than cozy. It follows the story of a boy called Bod who is sheltered from his family’s murderer in a graveyard by the resident ghosts. Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite fantasy authors, I’d recommend any book by him!

[@wolfofcoins]

Great recommendations! "Howl's Moving Castle" is my absolute favorite among Studio Ghibli's movies - and it made me read the book, which I did not regret :) My all time favorite read for fall is (paradoxically) "Winter Rose" by Patricia McKillip. It's absolutely magical and has basically all four seasons described, but in autumn you can really smell the decaying leaves... And my favorite Neil Gaiman's book is "Anansi Boys" :)

[@404CarolineNotFound]

I will always recommend Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I haven't read anything else by them yet but I had a really fun time reading it and enjoyed their combined writing style very much.

[@gauravkumarvalmiki529]

[@auralealivada]

Not sure if this counts for fall or winter but every year around Christmas I read Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. Death is one of the main characters in this book which is Pratchett's take on Christmas and how all the traditions around it evolved.

[@clairemeehan4141]

Great list - I will pick up Howl's moving castle because that sounds really interesting. I love Terry Pratchett's discworld series. I have only come to it in recent years and am still working my way through. I haven't read any in order but it doesn't seem to matter much. My favourite ones are the witch ones, and the ones focusing on Samuel Vimes and the City Watch. As for Gaiman, you really need to read American God's (the book is amazing). Happy fall reading 🍁🍁🍁

Thanks for another beautifully well-made video! My daughter, who is 11, watched it with me and I hope she will share the love for books (fantasy ones, especially) with me. I just finished the Fitz and the Fool trilogy and read lots of it for her. She loves writing, but I'm sure she gets lots of ideas from the books I read with her. I just started today another one by Robin Hobb/Megan Lindholm (same person, though) called The Inheritance. They are 10 short stories in different writing styles, as the writer describes it herself. I think I'll enjoy the stories nevertheless. I saw your Farseer trilogy on the shelf in another video, by the way. Just wondering if you have started reading the books... Regards from Australia. 😎🌞

[@TheGeekyHippie]

The only Neil Gaiman I have read, and highly recommend, is *American* *Gods* . I believe he also wrote the graphic novels/comics *Sandman* which I have always heard amazing things about. My personal favorite Eddings is his *The* *Elenium* and *The* *Tamuli* two back to back trilogies in the same setting, just as *The* *Malloreon* follows up from *The* *Belgariad* . I haven't read any of his stuff in 30 years it seems though, not since the last book of *The* *Tamuli* came out. I would recommend (sticking to Fantasy to start and will have some Science Fiction at the end; I've always read them interchangeably) trying some Stephen R Donaldson, starting with *Lord* *Foul's* *Bane* which is book one of the "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever." It is about a novelist named Thomas Covenant (duh!) who finds himself stricken with leprosy and his life turned upside down and himself a pariah. Not long after he ends up in another world, a fantasy land (this is all in the first couple chapters, and is in most synopsis of the the book). { *TRIGGER* *WARNING* : There is a rape scene early on in the novel; it is not gratuitous at all, and is important to the development of the characters and the plot, and as far as I can recall it is not graphically described). Covenant is not a great (or really even good) man to begin with, he's more of a bitter anti-hero, but his journey, and the world he travels through (The Land), is fascinating. This kicks off the first of two trilogies which is then followed by a quadrology for 10 books total in the series. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Thomas_Covenant Next I would recommend Raymond E Feist's *Magician* which is sometimes split into *Magician:* *Apprentice* and *Magician:* *Master* which kicks off his "Riftwar Saga" which is the first installment of his "Riftwar Cycle." After that is *Silverthorn* and *A* *Darkness* *at* *Sethanon* . The next installment in the Cycle is co-written with Janny Wurts, and is knows as the "Empire Trilogy" (my personal favorite of Feist's stuff, btw). That is *Daughter* *of* *the* *Empire* , *Servant* *of* *the* *Empire* , and *Mistress* *of* *the* *Empire* . www.crydee.com/raymond-feist/reading-order/written Also, if you're looking for more light-hearted fair, and can handle pun after pun after pun after.... you get the picture, try Piers Athony's *A* *Spell* *for* *Chameleon* which is the first in his really long "Xanth" series. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanth Another light-hearted comedic fantasy is Robert Asprin's "MythAdventures" series starting with *Another* *Fine* *Myth* . en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythAdventures Fitting with the season, try *Dragon's* *of* *Autumn* *Twilight* by Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman. This is the first of the "Dragonlance" novels, which kicked off an entire epic franchise/shared universe of fantasy novels set in a D&D setting. Despite being a licesned setting novel this book, and the next five in the series (the two in this trilogy, the "Dragonlanc Chronicles" and the trilogy "Dragonlance Legends") are actually pretty darned good, and epic as all get out. Amazing characters, ones you can empathise with (including the "evil" one). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonlance_Chronicles en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonlance_Legends Now, if I may be forgive I'd like to recommend a duology of Science Fiction (New Space Opera) that could be looked at as Fantasy but set in the future and dealing with space (just think of all the tech, which isn't really explained as to how it works like SF usually does, as magical devices if you really have problems with SF as a genre; trust me, these two books are very different). Try *Pandora's* *Star* by Peter F Hamilton, and its sequel *Judas* *Unchained* . These two books are his "Commonwealth Saga" which is then followed be the "Void Trilogy" which takes place about 1200 years later and then he published another duology called "Chronicles of the Fallers" set between the other two series in time. Best experience is to read them in publishing order (on re-reads chronological order is fine).

I’ve just started reading Neil Gaiman and loved his writting!! I read Coraline which I recommend wholeheartedly, it is very different than the movie. I’ll check out Norde Mythology for sure and Good Omens.

[@CapturedInWords]

I've only seen the movie for Coraline, so I'll definitely have to give the book a read!

[@Mark-iv6yg]

Top to bottom a wonderful list, will add red wall to the book pile 🤓

[@CapturedInWords]

Hope you enjoy Redwall! :D

[@filipab0oks]

Oh man, I've missed your videos! I read Howl's Moving Castle this month and it was an absolute delight, and the moooovie is sooo good 😍👌

[@sophiasthoughts]

I highly recommend Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. I don't want to say why I think you'll love it but, based on things you said in here, I'm positive you'd enjoy it

[@Steve_Stowers]

If "cozy fantasy" isn't really a genre, it should be (by analogy with "cozy mysteries"): nothing too dark, too violent, too epic, or too challenging. Off the top of my head, Patricia Wrede's "Enchanted Forest Chronicles" are a good example.

[@mistborn1136]

You should do more kingkiler video. The third book is still far from releasing and in the meantime you should keep us busy.

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm working on some more Kingkiller videos for November! :)

[@ReadsWithKesara]

It's been a while since I've heard someone talk about the Redwall series. I read it as a child and loved it. I've been meaning to reread them but my library doesn't have them 😢

[@middevelzorro]

My Neil Gaiman recommendation is the Ocean at the end of the lane.

[@CapturedInWords]

Awesome thanks for the recommendation! I've been meaning to read that one :)

[@mr.a5117]

the Graveyard book, Darren Shan- author, Going bovine, Flip These are my favorite books I can think of rn give them a chance and you wont be disappointed

[@JennyMullins26]

Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite books ever, so I always love to see it get some love.

[@zigi1524]

The book I'd recommend is The city of dreaming books by Walter Moers. It is just a fantastic books about books and writing and is one of those books that manage to transport you to the place they're hapenning in entirely. I've never read any author that described scents, especially food that good. Anyways, it's full of mistery, innovative creatures and places, and really funny and one of my favourite books.

[@doctorstrange6069]

Will we ever hear your thoughts on The Anvil of Ice by Michael Scott Rohan? Really curious about what you think of the book.

[@CapturedInWords]

Oh wow you're the first person who's asked me about that series! I plan on making a new series of videos called 'Forgotten Tomes' where I'll talk about books that are out-of-print or just not talked about anymore, so I will for sure have to make one for The Anvil of Ice at some point!

[@Newt5996]

I’m curious have you seen the miniseries Neverwhere is based on? It’s low budget and very 1990s but solid For Gaiman’s Recommendations American Gods, Coraline, and Good Omens (which is co-written with Terry Pratchett

[@pagesofthenorth5535]

I just finished Neverwhere yesterday, and it is now one of my all time favorites! So bizarre and funny, I really recommend it!

[@CapturedInWords]

Glad you liked it! :D

[@Eowynerre]

The ocean at the end of the lane by Neil Gaiman. Haven't read it but it intrigues me with its blirb and the Reveiws I've seen x def on my tbr x

[@CapturedInWords]

I've been meaning to read that one, it sounds very interesting!

[@savioneves8791]

I loved "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman. It's a fantasy book, with a bit of horror in it.

[@CapturedInWords]

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely have to give it a red :)

[@bdazzle_book_lover]

I've really been enjoying the Weary Dragon Inn series by S Usher Evans
