If it has Pumpkin Spice in the title then we are interested! A charming small town story, this delightful romance follows the story of Jeanie, who takes over a cozy café filled with autumnal treats and community spirit. The perfect feel-good read to fall asleep to under your favourite blanket.

2. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

For those who love a blend of fantasy and but are looking for a little more comfort, Legends & Lattes offers a delightful escape. The novel follows an orc named Viv who decides to leave her life of adventure to open a coffee shop in a quiet town. Full of heart and humor, this is going to keep us warm on the cold nights to come.

3. The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

The Ex Hex combines romance, magic, and a dash of Halloween spirit, making it an excellent pick for those who are looking for something a little more spooky! When Vivienne accidentally curses her ex-boyfriend, chaos ensues in their small, witchy town. 

4. Autumn by Ali Smith

Autumn by Ali Smith is a more reflective, literary choice that captures the mood of the season. This novel, the first in Smith’s seasonal quartet, explores themes of time, memory, and change, all through the lens of friendship and politics. Its lyrical prose and meditative pace make it a perfect companion for quiet, reflective fall evenings.

5. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

No list of cosy reads is complete without Little Women! The March sisters’ story is filled with warmth, family bonds, and the ups and downs of life. The novel’s depictions of New England in the fall, with its rich descriptions of harvests and gatherings, are comforting and magical.

Each of these books offers a slice of autumnal comfort, inviting you to slow down, savor the season, and lose yourself in a world of warmth and wonder.
