Autumn Book Recommendations

We are well into cosy reading season! The -ber months are arguably the best times for readers. Just think: Rain tapping at your window, Hot chocolate/coffee in hand, Blanket either lay across your knees, or right up to the neck, and a good old book. PERFECTION. With that being said, there are hundreds of books to be read during this season, so I thought I would share my Autumnal picks. 

I thoroughly believe in reading ANY book or your choice at any time, so if you don't want to read autumnal books and would rather either continue your beachy, summer reads, go ahead! You can always save these recs on your Goodreads for whenever you're ready. I just think there is something so fun about reading books which reflect the current season. Each of my picks give me an autumnal feeling for whatever reason - whether it was the author's intention or not. 

Let's get into it!

Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter Review

Better Than The Movies is a YA novel I have seen all over social media for a few years now. My knowledge prior to reading was that it's a Young Adult, Rom-Com. Although I'm no longer the demographic for YA novels, sometimes it's nice to read a light-hearted and clean book; especially after reading something a little heavier (which in my case was Babel). I don't enjoy reading Smut, so this sounded like the perfect choice for my mood.

Babel by R.F Kuang Review

After reading Rebecca. F Kuang's Yellowface, I was super excited to start my Babel reading experience. I had heard incredible things about this novel - in fact, I don't think I've ever heard criticism about it. The astounding amount of praise it has received was enough to get me excited about diving into its pages; and I was not left feeling unfulfilled. This novel lit a fire in me that was completely unforeseen, and I don't think I will ever be the same again.
