 welcome back to my channel. Today is gonna be the first video of a bunch of fall slash spooky themed videos. Today is mostly just gonna be fall kind of aesthetic recommendations, just books to get us started in fall. And so I am super excited. I am super pumped so I'm gonna give you some recommendations to start off your fall and then later on I'll come out with spooky recommendations and then ten books that I'm going to be reading this fall slash spooky season. So I'm gonna have like a lovely string of videos just based on the season and I am super excited for all of those. So I'm just gonna go ahead and get started with today's video of just fall recommendations, autumn aesthetic recommendations. So the first recommendation I have is a book that is a little on the shorter side because I think for a lot of us school is starting back up again. Or at least for me school is starting back up again and so it's getting very busy and I'm not reading as much as I was or as much as I was hoping to be. So the first one I'm suggesting is a shorter book that's been pretty popular and that is The T-Dragon Society. This is an amazing book and I've talked about it before but if you are not reading as much as you used to and it's kind of getting on you for that and you're just not feeling as good this is such a short read that you can read it in like 10 minutes and then you can feel good and you can be like I finished a book this week. So and I think this one it's very good for spring or fall. The reason I say fall for this year is because it's about tea you know it's there are these little dragons and you can harvest like leaves off their horns and little parts of them to make this tea and I think like I drink tea all year round even like hot tea even in like the spring and summer but fall is really when like everyone else joins me in this tea craze so I would say that this is really good to get you in the mood for drinking some hot tea as the weather starts to get a little cooler. Now a lot of the genres or at least for me overall in fall there are certain genres that just appeal to me more or seem more like fall reads like historical fiction for me as well as kind of more of a historical romance mystery because you can anything that you can really like cozy up to like you cozy up to a good mystery or cozy up to a good romance or cozy up to something nostalgic too like one of the series I'm gonna recommend it's very nostalgic for me so anything that like gets you that warm fuzzy feeling whether it's solving a mystery or going back in time or just reading something familiar that just brings back happy memories so that's kind of what the rest of these books are based off of for this video. So the next book that I'm going to recommend is the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and I am recommending this one because it is a story that you can cozy up to like cozy up to. It does have to do with magic and it's like a magical competition but it's only between two people and they don't know who each other are and they didn't even set up the competition and it's like this really intense really like psychological magical competition that takes place within a circus and so while circuses generally tends to be more of a summer thing I just felt it was much more of a cozy fall read just because of the story of everything that's going on in the circus and the magic of it it just makes it it just makes it seem like it's fit for being wrapped up in blankets and just reading about these people trying to outdo one another in magic within the setting of a circus that's only open at night. This one I read last year and I very much enjoyed it. The next one that I am going to recommend is half historical fiction half not and that is Juliet by Anne Fortier and this is it goes back and forth between like the traditional story of Romeo and Juliet but then also modern times as Juliet to filo mei is kind of figuring out what happened to Romeo and Juliet and how it affects her as like the great great great great great whatever granddaughter of Romeo and Juliet or maybe Romeo or so she she's an American who goes to Italy to kind of find out her family history and how it relates to the Shakespearean story that we all know is Romeo and Juliet but what we may not actually know about this story that Shakespeare has changed around and I I read this one last year and I really enjoyed it it is like I said it's like half historical fiction and then the half that isn't historical fiction is like kind of mystery kind of figuring things out and so I think both halves of it is perfect for fall because you've got that historical element but then you've also got like a mystery to cozy up to so I'm gonna say cozy up to so many times in this video it's gonna be amazing so yeah I would very much recommend this book as well it just brought me so much joy I I know I was laughing in some places like the main character sister oh my gosh I love her I love her I didn't at first but I ended the book loving her so I think the side characters in here are really what makes it not the main character the side characters are what make this book next I'm gonna suggest a trilogy and this trilogy to me is very nostalgic because I read it when I was younger and I have re-read it actually a couple of times and that is the chemical garden trilogy and especially the first one with her I really enjoyed this trilogy and it's one of if you liked the selection you're gonna like this a lot because it's a similar idea this girl kind of gets like kidnapped or taken she has no other choice but to win over the heart of this really rich guy who lives in a mansion about the same time she is separated from her brother her twin brother and so she is kind of living in this place where she gets all dulled up for the master of the house but then she's like trying to figure out how to escape in order to find her brother and just the story of it just I I loved it it's been a little bit since I've read it so I might want to reread it again but I just I just remember loving this so much when I was younger when I first read it and every time I've reread it since I'm like if you look at the cover the cover has almost a spooky feeling with like the bird in the cage and how it like relates to the wedding ring but then it's like oh you've got like these white flowers on the back it gives spooky eyes but I think it's more of a just generic fall read than spooky like there's nothing spooky about it but it's it's such a sweet story with all three of these books for her to go find her brother and kind of balance her life in this dystopian world so the next series that I'm going to suggest it's interesting because I'm suggesting the way we're children series by Sean and McGuire and the thing is is that I love I love love the series I know some other people who are like oh I hated it I didn't like it at all but I absolutely adored it and it's like the first time reading it I instantly got this nostalgic feeling because it's reading about all these different kids who went through different doorways to different like magical worlds and there are some worlds that are like chaotic and kind of evil but some worlds are like chaotic but good and some worlds are just kind of like you went to like Wonderland kind of place and it does and some of the worlds have a Wonderland vibe some of it's like like the underworld land of the death vibes and so I think that series is amazing to read in the fall because you're hearing of all these different almost fairy tale like stories coming from these kids but the first one is actually solving a murder mystery in this school for the kids who just can't move on and just can't move on since coming back from these fantasy worlds and it when I read it was so cozy and I was entranced by it and each book is very short so again it's very easy and very fast to read through them plus the cover of the first one is like you know it's a doorway and it's got fall colors and that just instantly makes me gravitated towards fall because it just in itself recognizes that it's a fall book and I appreciate that. If you haven't already you should read that. Now we're getting into the books that I don't own but I have read and the next one I would suggest is Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo again I read this last year when I read this when it came out it's a dark academia magical book about this girl who kind of goes and she investigates within the magical scene of the university and it's it's like a murder mystery it's like I said it's just dark academia and I liked it I did enjoy it it wasn't really my favorite like I just kind of had meh about it but I know a lot of people like it and I can definitely see how it's fall lives because like everyone's going back to school it is fall it's kind of starting off the school year and so really anything that has its story set in fall automatically really can be a fall read but a lot of the books I suggested before this were just like it's not set in fall or not necessarily in fall but it still feels like fall but this one is set in fall and so I think it definitely definitely would be a good read for fall if you're like into that kind of stuff. The last book that I'm going to suggest is the Seven and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle this one I'm recommending it but it also wasn't my favorite it's another one of those like if you guys love reading mysteries in the fall because it's a story that you can like wrap around in blankets and just be entrapped by then you may enjoy this but I I just didn't quite like it it was really hard to follow the logic of the story and then halfway through the book to me it became a little predictable or just like this is driving nuts I bet it's gonna be like this and just in the end but I think that not everyone agrees with me in that sense like I know a lot of people that really loved it so if you really are just looking for like all the mystery books that you can find or without being necessarily like horror or thriller if you're not into those vibes either because it's not Halloween yet or you just aren't which is totally okay then this would be a good one to go for because this guy keeps he lives the same day over and over again but he switches between which person he's living the day as and he has to solve the mystery of who killed Evelyn Hardcastle but because he keeps switching people we living the same day she keeps dying so it's like you would think you should be able to just solve it but it's not that easy yeah the last two books I'm recommending not necessarily because I love them but because they are definitely fall aesthetic and I think other people will definitely love them so those are all of my recommendations for this fall again I tried to make them not quite as like spooky themes like a lot of them do still have magic but that's just because I love reading fantasy YA yeah so if you like this recommendations video comment down below letting me know if you're gonna read any of these books or what other books you're gonna read this fall I'm always looking for more fall recommendations like I have the video or like I know some books I'm gonna read this fall but I'm always looking for more always so like comment down below like this video if you're gonna read any of the books in here or if you agree with any of the books that I said that would be a fall aesthetic then like like the video also subscribe if you're new here and we would love to have you join our army of reading more years and yeah so I think that's pretty much all I have to say I'll see you guys in the next video but until then happy
