Autumn Seasonal Reads (76 books)

Books that are best enjoyed during the fall, under a grey sky, as you burrow into the nearest pile of leaves with your stockpile of burlap and pumpkin spice scones. You've been waiting for this all year. Your inner squirrel is content and ready to read all those gloomy, autumnal books that can't possibly be read when the sun is shining. Don't forget your vat of tea!
