Books With Fall Vibes That Aren’t Horror

Hello Friends! I wanted to share a post of some fun books that feel like fall but that are not thrillers or horror novels. Let me know if you have any that you would recommend!

Contemporary Romances

• Very Sincerely Yours by Kerry Winfrey – Takes place around Halloween and the main character likes to dress up at the vintage Toy shop she works at.
• How Sweet It Is by Dylan Newton – This one follows a bubbly event planner who is doing a book launch for a horror book and it was really fun!
• The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling – A contemporary with fantasy elements following a witch who gets dumped and drunk and curses her ex. Also has some steamy scenes!
• Pumpkin Everything by Beth Labonte – A very cozy romance that takes place in a small town that goes all out for pumpkin season.
• What If You and Me by Roni Loren – Another steamy romance that follows a horror author and a hot neighbor! A little bit of a heavier read but really good.
• The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker – This is another harder hitting romance that follows a woman getting to know her dad before he passes away. Takes place in Alaska around Thanksgiving.
• Truth or Beard by Penny Reid – This one starts out a bit awkward at a Halloween party with a sexy Gandalf costume! This book made me want to go to Tennessee for the Fall.

Some Random Suggestions

• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – Gothic classic about ghosts and spooky house and the mysterious man who lives there!
• Hearts blood by Juliet Marillier – Fantasy novel that is a Beauty and The Beast re-telling. Might be a little more early winter but very atmospheric and hoes well with fall.
• The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield – Best described by goodreads: It is a tale of gothic strangeness featuring the Angelfield family, including the beautiful and willful Isabelle, the feral twins Adeline and Emmeline, a ghost, a governess, a topiary garden and a devastating fire.
• The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova – The story about a woman’s quest to find out who Vlad The Impaler really was. I feel like anything Dracula related is a good fall read!
