Hey guys! I’m here as part of Victoria Lynn’s Fall Party :) Be sure to hop over to her blog to see the other posts and enter the giveaways and those other fun things!
Today I’m sharing my favourite fall reads. They will either be books that make me think of fall, or that I like to read in fall, or that are set in fall. xD There are probably more, but these are the ones I could think of.
After that lengthy explanation, let’s start!

1) Jonas & Olivia by Victoria Minks.
I don’t remember if this book states that it’s set in fall. But to me it is the epitome of a fall read (which you can’t help knowing, if you follow my bookstagram. π) It is full of fall-ish food and weather and settings... it’s just speaks fog and colourful leaves and soup and sweaters and walks in the woods on dead leaves. It’s an amazing, beautiful story and I 1000% recommend it!
2) Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
This book starts and ends in fall. I love all the bustle and preparation for the winter and how the book chronicles a whole year. It’s sweet and pioneer-y and starts off an amazing series. ;)
3) The Night Archers by Kate Willis.
This book begins just before the harvest and ends a little after. I love this book for its theme — and the characters. They were just amazing. <33 It is such a sweet, heartwarming read.
4) Gift From the Storm by Rebekah A. Morris.
I think this book is set just before winter sets in—if I remover correctly. π It definitely has fall vibes for me—the cover feels like November! π This was a lovely book with such an interesting mystery and wonderful family scenes.
5) Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery.
This book starts in September and chronicles Anne’s college years. I really love this book because of all the maturing and learning and beauty in it. I love it so much that it's hard to talk of! <3
6) The Children of the New Forest by Frederick Marryat.
This one I have not yet reviewed but I've loved it for years and reread it dozens of times. It's exciting, it has lovely family/sibling relationships and scenes, and it's a little survivalish--I love the descriptions of how the children provided for themselves. I also love the characters and the witty humour, and... it's just an amazing read.
7) Squirrels, & Other Fur-Bearers by John Burroughs.
This is nonfiction but it is beautifully written and very interesting. It's also very humorous. It was my first Burroughs book, and it's why I fell in love with his writing.
8) What Katy Did at School by Susan Coolidge.
This one also I have not yet reviewed, but it is the second book in one of my top 3 favourite book series. The author did an ASTOUNDING job with these series. So I definitely recommend them all, and read them in order!!! xD This one is Katy & her sister Clover at boarding school. (I really like boarding school stories.) It's very humorous, and full of faith content, and introduces one of my favourite characters, and shows Katy growing up and learning and growing even sweeter. <33
9) Anne of Windy Poplars by L.M. Montgomery.
This book starts in fall and Anne is the principal of the Summerside High School. This book focuses on a host of new characters, which is very interesting! Like all the Anne books, it's funny and interesting and beautiful, and I love all the little bits about her scholars.
10) Third Year at Malory Towers by Enid Blyton.
This book starts in the fall and goes on to winter--English winter, very different from my winter! ;) (The fifth book in the series, In the Fifth, also starts in fall but it doesn't feel very fall-ish to me! Horses mean fall somehow. xD) This book is very humorous and has some good little lessons, like all the books.
