I’ve read the trilogy of Discovery of Witches. Absolutely a favorite!! Each book got better and better!! Loved everything about it!! I agree I enjoyed The Night Circus but it was just a bit slow. And The Graveyard Book, AMAZING! I would recommend Mina: The Dracula Story Continues by Elaine Bergstrom. I read it years ago, and loved it. I’m new to your channel and absolutely love your content! Perfection!

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)

I LOVE Discovery of Witches!!! Totally agree, it kind of just steals into your life and makes you obsessed! If you loved it, you may love Nora Roberts' trilogy beginning with DANCE UPON THE AIR--it's about a New England place called Three Sister's Island and the main character Nell runs away there taking as a job at the local bookstore's cafe (SO many delicious baking descriptions) and discovers that she's a witch and so are two other women on the island. She's taught by one of the witches to hone her magic and may fall in love with the local sheriff(!) and confront her past. It's just SUCH an addictive book and I loved it so wanted to recommend! Nora has a fantastic writing style and if you haven't read her books I highly recommend this one to start. It's romantic, cozy, but also has slight thrillery element but with a happy-ever-after as promised in all Nora books! Also great to start for autumn!

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!

I love when people talk about the practical magic series, my grandma and I loved and read that entire series, she introduced it to me and we would share and trade the books back and forth. Alice Hoffman has a lot of other cozy books. This year I'm going to try and read the Blackbird House by her, it looks very short and magical. I also picked up Wicked Deep to read as well, witchy books are my favorites. I'm currently reading Small Favors, the book that's inspired by the Village, I think you had recommended it a few years back but I found it at my local library and grabbed it immediately. I'm also looking forward to reading my vintage additions of Nancy Drew and Judy Bolton mysteries. I got them from antique shops around the east coast and I love the old dust shields and the detailed illusions on the inside covers. I want to drive back into Harry Potter, and definitely try an Agatha Christie novel, or some other murder/true crime books. I just picked up The Book of Cold Cases, by Simone St James (I absolutely loved her previous book, The Sun Down Motel, I swore I could feel the rain and hear the hum of the neon signs with her descriptions) I'm so glad that other people talk about Goosebumps series, because I don't know why, it was embarrassing to me at first that I wanted to reread those, but now I'm like so what? I want to pretend I'm like 12 again. I'm constantly picking up new books from bookstores, thrift stores, the library or the free book nooks in my town, its comforting to know that new experiences and knowledge are just pages away at all times.

“This time of year, he thought, the hills would be beautiful. It had been late summer when he’d left for the Coonskin system and the hills still had worn their mantle of dark green, but now, in the middle of October, they would have burst into the full color of their autumn dress. There’d be the winy red of oak and the brilliant red and yellow of the maples and here and there the flaming scarlet of creeping vines would run like a thread through all the other colors. And the air would smell like cider, that strange, intoxicating scent that came upon the woods only with the dying of the leaves”(Clifford D. Simak’s Goblin Reservation).I guess this writer loved autumn too! All his books I’ve read take place in autumn. You can almost smell that scent from book’s pages…

The vibes are impeccable as always, but girl I am SWEATING seeing you in that sweater in July. (At least, this was FILMED in July, LOL.) We can all wish and hope for that lovely crisp fall weather!

Haha it was filmed in August! But the evenings here are actually cooling down quite a bit! Plus Jared (my husband) is always hot so we turn the AC on in the evening before bed. I usually wear sweatshirts because of that 🙈 I’m always freezing!

@@DarlingDesi Yeah, I meant August - oops! And too funny - a lot of stores and restaurants around here blast the AC too.

I loved the cozy vibes of this video. It truly felt like a book club meeting in a friend's living room. I have some autumnal book recs as well: 1. Sheets by Brenna Thummler: It's a graphic novel about a teenage girl whose parents own a struggling laundry mat, when one day the ghost of a little boy shows up there. Despite dealing with death and loneliness it's a super wholesome book with a strong current of unique friendship that I love. Also the art is really pretty. It doesn't exclusively take place in autumn but I feel like the topic of ghosts makes it perfect for spooky season. 2. The Secret History by Dona Tartt: I know it's highly recommended but I think it lives up to the hype. Heavy academia vibes if you're into that. Tartt's language is so descriptive yet lyrical and it makes for a truly immersive experience. 3. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty: Also known as Ask a Mortician here on youtube. I've been a long time subscriber of Caitlin and felt so lucky when I managed to snag a copy of this at my local library. The book details Caitlin's first year working for a crematory and is full of information and anecdote that makes you really think about the commercial funeral industry, death positivity, your own perceptions surrounding death and what you want for yourself when your time comes. It sounds a bit morbid I know but it actually helped ease my fear of dying greatly and I think autumn is the perfect time to contemplate your own mortality personally lol. warning though, it can be a bit graphic with descriptions of decomposing bodies, preparing bodies for viewings, etc. Thanks for another great video Desi, and for adding more books to my already miles long notes app list of books to check out haha.

I just finished Dracul last night. I bought it on your recommendation from a previous video. Great story! I read A Discovery of Witches several years ago and totally fell in love with it so recently bought a copy for autumn reading. I think I would enjoy the Practical Magic series too so will search for it. Your videos are inspiring and remind me to ENJOY life! Thank you!

This is such an amazing video! I can hear the fire crackling in the background and it just gives me all the fall vibes! I will be watching this again and again, because I know I’ll forget or misplace whatever lost i put these books on. Hahaha hope you are well!! I hate that I missed the monthly Regency zoom call last Sunday! I’ll catch you all this month, though! 🙏🏻🧡🤎

The All Souls Trilogy (Discovery of Witches) reads the same throughout, so if you love Discovery you'll love the other two as well. In your descriptor I'd add that Diana has hesitated using her witch powers her whole life and in suppressing them she finds herself in many predicaments wherein only magic is the answer. Discovery is just the beginning of her journey in realizing just how powerful she is; it's awesome!

I'm new to this community and I'm also one to rarely comment under videos, but I don't remember when I last enjoyed book recommendations that much. I never thought cozy mystery could be for me but you made me want to dive into every single one. Thank you for being such an engaging and thoughtful creator.
