#TopTenTuesday: Books Giving Me Those Autumn Vibes!

Dini @ dinipandareads41 Comments

It’s that time of the week again, friends! We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt is: books that give off autumn vibes! I have no idea why but I really struggled with this prompt? Maybe because it’s a pretty ‘broad’ concept — what are the vibes even? So before my little brain decides to overthink a prompt that should be straightforward AF, I’ve decided to just include all the things. Which basically means I’m looking at books that have autumn cover color vibes, books I think I’d like to read in autumn, and books I’ve loved that remind me of autumn (cozy and possibly also creepy). Yes, it’s really all the things 😂

Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell & Faith Erin Hicks
There’s NO WAY this book wouldn’t make top of my list because ever since I read it (before autumn) I haven’t been able to stop raving about it throughout the season. J’adore Pumpkinheads 😍

The Simple Wild by K. A. Tucker
It’s weird, but this cover gives me autumn vibes or maybe I look at this cover knowing that the story gives me all the warm cozy vibes, which make me wanna curl up to read it? Whatever it is, it is!

Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander #2) by Diana Gabaldon
It’s really the cover and there’s something about the title (perhaps the Amber) that makes me think of autumn when I read it. I haven’t read this series yet, but I’m looking forward to it!

Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager
Maybe it’s because of the color combo, the thriller factor or because I read it in October, but this book is giving me serious autumn vibes, despite being a story about summer camp!

Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker & Wendy Xu
This cover is autumn all over. Definitely get strong fall vibes from it and it doesn’t help that the story is simply cute AF (and also takes place in autumn)!

The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
Don’t the colors on that cover just scream autumn?! Although the content is more terrifying winter…

Dead Poets Society by N.H. Kleinbaum & Tom Schulman
Okay, I know this is a movie cover and for once I actually really don’t mind it (don’t @ me)! And this novella (166 pages) did come out after the movie (apparently it was based on the script) but when I think about the Dead Poets Society, it definitely screams autumn to me!

The Farm by Joanne Ramos
This is another cover that really gives me autumn vibes. Is it the color combo? I don’t know…

The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
It’s the floral pattern on the cover that definitely makes me think of autumn vibes. Although this book not really ‘comforting’, I think this family saga would still be a good read for the season!

The Wise Man’s Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle #2) by Patrick Rothfuss
That cover is really giving off the autumn vibes but I also think that this would be a great book to read in the fall. I think I should take my own advice and read it! 😂

What do you think of my ‘autumn vibe’ books? Do any of these also give you the same vibes? If you’ve also done a TTT, leave your links in the comments below so I can come check them out! Let’s chat 🙂

    • Hahaha is it odd that I can see you cawing with the birds?! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Amanda love! 💜 I loved Last Time I Lied! I’m so glad that it was a group read I joined in October otherwise who knows how long it would’ve sat unread in my Kindle library 😅 I can’t wait to finally read Wise Man’s Fear although I’m putting it off because who knows how long it’ll be before the final book comes out lmao

  3. Great list this week. The Farm was a very good book. And I can’t wait to read Pumpkin Heads and Mooncakes. The library lists for both of those are kind of long. 🙂

    My TTT.

    • Argh, I was so excited to add The Farm to my collection and it’s still sitting unread on my shelf right now. I’m so bad 🙈 Pumpkinheads and Mooncakes were both super cute! I hope you enjoy them when you get your hands on it! 🧡

    • Omg yes, I wanted to watch Dead Poets Society right away when I thought of it. It’s been years but I can still remember parts of it (which is a miracle considering my memory) but I remember it really hit all my emotions hard 😅

  7. I love the books you chose for this list! I haven’t read all of them, but judging by the covers, they definitely fit the season 🙂 And I have to agree that even The Simple Wild without any hints of orange has an autumn-feeling. Maybe it’s the misty mountains. That always does it for me 😀

  16. Ooo! “Pumpkin Heads” seems too perfect for this list, and I’ve seen it on a few others. Looks like a cute read. Also, “The Immortalists” has the perfect cover art for the prompt, I mean, all those leaves… and the colors! 🙂 Thanks so much for the Finding Wonderland visit.

    • 100% would recommend you read Pumpkinheads ASAP! Haha it’s such a sweet and feel good graphic novel that’s perfect for this season! The artwork is perfection 😍 I agree on Gabaldon’s books — there’s something about them (the titles? colors?) that do give me autumn vibes! Not that I’ve read any of them haha 🤣

  20. So many wonderful autumn picks! I love that you included Dead Poets Society. I didn’t know until recently that there was a novella from the film–that is definitely one of my favourite movies of all time and SO very appropriate for autumn!
