12 Books That Feel Like Fall
The best season of the year is here (I think? Even though it’s still 90 degrees out…) and I cannot wait for cooler evenings spent curled up with a good book. It’s such a sweet time of the year, and these books (for some reason or another) bring to mind those autumnal feelings for me! They’d make for great reading over the next few months and I’ve personally loved each one.
Happy fall, friends!
Here are 12 of my favorites that just feel like fall:
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (read my review) • Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry (read my review) • The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions by Emily P. Freeman (read my review) • Thirst by Mary Oliver (read my review) • Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard (read my review) • Garden City: Work, Rest, and the Art of Being Human by John Mark Comer (read my review) • Wildwood by Colin Meloy (read my review) • Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney (read my review)• The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (read my review) • The Secret History by Donna Tartt (read my review) • The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (read my review) • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (read my review)
