Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Fall Vibes

It’s Tuesday again and after taking a little break last week, I’m back with another Top Ten Tuesday list. However, I’ve gone rogue once again, as the original topic is not interesting for you guys. The original topic is Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. However, most of my school reading material was Dutch, originally Dutch even. Of course we read a bunch of books for English, German and French, but there was not much choice and I can’t for the life of me remember them. Also, this topic instantly gives me the ick because I truly hated reading for school, it put me in a reading slump it took me nearly 7 years to recover from. I still avoid the classics and nonfiction for this exact reason. So, as fall is in full swing and I’ve spotted lots of fallen leaves already, I thought it would be nice to provide a random list with books giving fall vibes. The weather is not making up its mind though, as temperatures might again hit 22 degrees Celsius tomorrrow and Thursday, whereas it was just around 13 degrees the past couple of days. Anyway, here are ten books that gave me fall vibes!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

  1. The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater – I always think of spooky season when thinking of highly spiritual books, so this one can’t be missed on such a list.
  2. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree – H the pastries!
  3. Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas – This book takes place around Dia de los Muertos so on November 1 and it gives off incredible fall vibes.
  4. The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore – The title says it all.
  5. One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig – The story doesn’t even take place during fall, but the atmosphere is so dark and gloomy it really gives off such vibes.
  6. All the Harry Potter books – I know I know, she who must not be named… But the movies aren’t on tv during the darker months for nothing, are they? This entire series gives off fall vibes to me.
  7. The Monster in the Holly Library by K.A. Linde – Again, this blurb sounds so grimm, it has to be a fall read.
  8. New Moon by Stephenie Meyer – Technically this doesn’t even take place during fall, but it still gives me those vibes because of the entire atmosphere this storiy is breathing.
  9. City of Ghosts by V.E. Schwab – This takes place during summer, but it’s a ghost story so therefore fits fall perfectly.
  10. Salem’s Lot by Stephen King – Do I need to say more? Many of King’s books fit this prompt though, but I haven’t read them.

What book gives you all the fall vibes?

  1. Definitely get HP being a “fall” series. I used to re-read the series (save for OOTP which I’d avoid because I loathe Umbridge) every autumn-winter quarter. 🙂

  2. Interesting list! So many titles that are on my TBR too, especially The Pumpkin Spice Café. I’ve heard mixed reviews though, what do you think about the book? 🙂

    1. I still haven’t read it either, but I’ll go into this with the expectation it will end up a 3-star read 🙂

  3. Interesting list! I’ve been wanting to read The Pumpkin Spice Café for a while now. What did you think about it? I’ve heard mixed reviews.

  4. Great list! I love Fall, even though we don’t get a traditional one here in the Phoenix, Arizona, area. It stays ridiculously hot through November. At least I can experience changing leaf colors, brisk weather, and cozy Autumnal vibes in books 🙂

    Happy TTT!

  7. Nice list! These definitely give off fall vibes!

  8. This is a great list! I’ve not read all of these, but I see where they can give me fall vibes.

  9. I always feel like anything featuring witches has a fall vibe, regardless of what season it’s set in. I hope you have a great week.

    The Harry Potter series definitely has Fall vibes! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

  12. Some year I’m going to do a raven boys reread starting on St Mark’s Eve, I love those books! This is an awesome list!

  13. lol I like that you went a differe Way with this week’s TTT. I often turn to the Harry Potter books this time of year.

  14. Autumn is my favourite season yet seems so neglected in books compared with summer or Christmas!

  15. A great list. I love Harry Potter and the Twilight series. The only Stephen King book that I have read is Salem’s Lot (which I enjoyed).

    Have a great week!

  16. So many good ones on here! I really want to rewatch and reread Harry Potter. It has been so long.

  17. OOh nice picks! Mostly new to me ones except I recognize a good amount! Harry Potter I feel like is that all year round kind of book. You could pick any season and I’d feel like it fit since Harry usually went through that season for a time at some point in the story. Yes, she-who-must-not-be-named doesn’t need any acknowledgement for that, but the books are pretty much a hardcore staple of my childhood that cannot be forgotten. Great picks!

    Thanks for visiting my TTT!

  18. Cemetery Boys is perfect for this time of year. One of my favorites that I am glad it getting a sequel.

  19. I also stay away from the classics. Being forced to read specific books is the best way to get people too hate them. The only season I pay attention to when I read is Christmas but I do agree with Harry Potter as being a fall read.

  20. I love books with fall vibes, and it’s the perfect time for them now that the weather is finally starting to change.
