It's not just you, Jay, fall/autumn has always been associated with reading in my mind too. When I was a youngin in my school days, maybe summer was up there too, but something about the quieting down of the atmosphere, where things start to slow in preparation for winter, yet everything speeds up at the same time, with lots of festivities and holidays and watching the kids go back to school (or going back yourself, and thinking about all the assigned reading). I think it's natural that fall feels like the time for more reading.
I forgot about the Edge Chronicles! I read the first one as a kid. Love a dangerous forest survival story. The weirdest part was when that girl captures the main character, thinking he's a pet. I don't know why I didn't continue with the series.
I'm pretty sure this is the second time I've seen Gormenghast get recommended on this channel (relatively new here and stumbling on backlog), and the thoughts and summaries of parts of this book sound super intriguing! The art that shows helps really sell the theme and spirit of the tale. I may have to check this one out. Another book to the TBR Tower of Babel. I've been thinking about reading Dragonlance again this last week. Pretty sure it was specifically because of the first books title 😅. Just crazy it came to mind almost thirty years later. It was one of the very first fantasy books I ever read, that had me collecting DL and other DND books through the 90s. It had such great world building!
WOW... This is a magnificent compilation of Cozy 🍂 Autumn novels!!!!! A number of these novels/series are on my TBR/Audible list- as always, thank you so very much for all the time, effort and creativity put into your videos- they are always a feast for the senses!!!!! 🎉 Also, I LOVE the various Fall/Halloween 🎃 decor on your bookshelves, especially the pumpkin that lights up various colors!!!!! If you can tell me where you got that from, that would be fantastic, as I would love to buy one for my own bookshelf!!! You simply ROCK!!!!! 🤩
I'm happy you enjoyed the video!! 😁 I decided this year the bookshelf needed some festive decor haha 🎃 I actually just found that light up Jack-o'-lantern at my local Dollarama. Best $3 I ever spent! There was a ghost as well that lights up and I think I might go back to get that. That's actually where I picked up all the Halloween stuff for my shelf. Thanks for watching!!! 😀
I’m glad you mentioned circuses. I’m a circus fan myself and I’m currently developing a fantasy book with a circus in a fantasy world, with talking animals and creatures that are unfamiliar with most people and a few common creatures with some changes to them.
So crazy I was just showing the edge chronicles to my older sister yesterday on my shelf. I have the twig trilogy in the awesome hardcovers. The series still holds up from when I was a kid, re read it a few months ago
Yes! Edge Chronicles! My husband introduced me to these a couple of years back and I'm slowly working my way through. Literally just finished Vox last night. Sure they're quirky kids' books but some of them actually get pretty dark.
@@CapturedInWords I sure did.. your definition of cozy is the same as mine and sometimes it’s hard to find recommendations because people want to always recommend low steaks.
YES I have read the Edge Chronicles! I love them. So funny as soon as you mentioned them I was ecstatic. I have the whole collection here, but it's strange because it seems like no one else has read them. They're amazing.
Ahhh I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one who likes them!!! That's so cool you have the whole collection! It's a shame those books aren't more well known, because they're a lot of fun
You are so welcome! And thank you for watching! 😁 It's been quite a while since I read Dragonlance as well, but it was one of those foundational series that really helped form my love for fantasy
I adore Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell AND especially the Chronicles of Prydain. I keep trying to convince my kids to get into them, but I found I'm better off just scattering good books around the house, like bait, and waiting for them to sniff them out on their own. I also got them Stone and Sky (because it's clean!) but I've been too anxious to read it until the SPFBO phase 1 is over since we're in the same group, lol. But I still plan too! Piranesi has been on the TBR a long time too.
I grew up reading fear street and I loved them... I still have the copies I bought when they first came out when I was Little, lol. They may be rotten by now, it has been a minute since I have touched them much less read them! Lawd how mercy, lol! I second the Legends and Lattes and Bookstores and Bonedust they are just fun and easy and enjoyable!
If Gormenghast sounds interesting to you, you should definitely give it a chance! :) There's also a BBC mini-series adaptation that came out in 2000 that is pretty charming too, although the books are of course much better
I would love for you to do a video on Dragonlance. It's been so long since I read that series and it was one of the first epic fantasy series. I think I watched the show of Goosebumps more than the books, but I had a few of them.
So last year i read Night in the Lonesome October after watching your video and i could think of nothing else for the whole month of october. I did what you recommended read every single day 1 chapter. It was hard and everytime i read 1 chapter i would just sit there for a couple of mintues and think on the 2, 3 sometimes even 10 pages i just read. I have decided to make it a yearly thing. So the first of october i will start it again :P
I'm currently rereading The Abhorsen Trilogy so when I heard you mention Sabriel I squealed a bit Thanks for spreading love about these underrated books!
So many great recommendations! And yes! Please make a Dragonlance video- I just bought Dragons of Autumn Twilight and was excited about reading it....then wondered if I was starting with the right book.... there are so many in that world.
The first trilogy (Dragonlance Chronicles) is Autumn Twilight, Winter Night and Spring Dawning. After that the next to read would be the sequel, the Dragonlance Legends trilogy.
Few like the Piranesi and The Night Circus already have been on my tbr for sometime. From what you have told, they definitely sound like nice cozy reads
Hello I just want to say thank you. A few months ago I literally thought that the only adult fantasy novels anyone read were LOTR Narnia and ASOIAF. (Now I feel dumb about that lol) but I came across one of your videos randomly and heard about Sanderson and the cosmere. This lead me to discover all these amazing series and books and different authors that got me back into reading. So thank you for that. Name of the Wind is the best book I have ever read. Now I join you in the long wait for doors of stone 😂
I can’t believe you mentioned Redwall!!! It’s so difficult to recommend to others “it’s about woodland creatures who live in an abbey… it’s very violent!”
Regarding Gaiman: there doesn’t seem to be much evidence other than the “mee too” argument + it’s in the court of public opinion. If there was something to it you’d think the case would be strong enough to go to criminal court, so - innocent until proven guilty still appplies.
Wow, been a hot minute since I've seen Goosebumps on anything. Great video, with a great list! I'm always excited whenever I see Gormenghast get a shoutout.
Thanks for watching man!! At some point I want to make a full video on Gormemghast, as it definitely deserves to be more well know! It's still the most atmospheric book I've read and I'm always thinking about it and all the odd characters
Chris Riddell is such an amazing artist! I loved his Goth Girl series 😁 Also, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the diversity of this list. While I always enjoy watching your lists, it usually feels, to me at least, that it's like 80-90% of classic, white male authors + Hobb and le Guin, so this one felt like such a breath of fresh air and I wanted to mention that! There's classic and modern fantasy in it, there's middle grade, YA and adult, there's indie and mainstream stuff, there are authors from marginalized communities (like M.L. Wang and T.J. Klune), there are classic, cozy, adventure, gothic stories and even a romantasy! Long story short, I just wanted to say that I appreciate it and I hope you continue to share with us more lists like this!💖☺
Chris Riddell has an amazing art style! I'm happy you enjoyed this list being more diverse 😁 I want to try and include a wider range of authors and genres/sub-genres in my videos going forward, so it's great to know that is appreciated!
You're right! The Name of the Wind does have a cozy fall vibe to it. Still love those freakin books, the writing is so beautiful and I wish we had more
@@CapturedInWordsit’s an amazing series! Very unique concept, fun characters and a great mystery. It’s even quite scary at times despite being middle grade! And it has probably my favorite non-human character! Or rather an inanimate object that can talk. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the recommendation because I am just making my fall 🍁 tbr 🤩 And same I'm also not very into the romance plot but one dark window sound interesting
@@CapturedInWords yess thank you😊 yeahh perfect timing and I added all the books you recommended and I don't know if I can read all those but still they sound amazing thanks. 🤩 👍
Didn't thought you are such cheap cancel culture apologist So what is up with Gaiman? Was he charged? Did I miss the court listening? Were proofs of some sort provided?
Uh pardon me? 😂 Lol right after I talk about how much I love Harry Potter, so not sure why you would call me a cancel culture apologist. I'm actually against cancel culture and think people get canceled for ridiculous reasons these days. As for Neil Gaiman though, there were allegations made by five women on the record and two off the record. It should also be noted that in literary circles it is pretty well known Gaiman likes young women. There's plenty of stories from comic con workers of him being creepy. A few weeks ago a recorded phone call was leaked where Gaiman admits he f*cked up and then offers $60,000 in bribe money to pay for a womans therapy that he sexually assaulted. I was blindsided by this news as I always really respected Gaiman. And I still do as an artist. I think he has an incredible mind and writes some of the most creative stuff. But power often corrupts, and people should be held accountable for their actions. So because of all that, I just don't feel right financially supporting him anymore. I'm not canceling his books, I think people should still read them and watch the various movie adaptations that are still beloved by many.
@@CapturedInWords So you are bragging that you support and didn't cancel JK Rowling, who is openly transphobic, you can read it in her tweets and comments. And in the same time cancel Neil who was "allegedly" accused with harasement by some money hungered womens from the 80s with no hard proofs. Dude there is literally salad in your head.
I've made a few fall recommendation videos, it's one of the seasonal videos I like to make but I update them each time. In this one I recommend a ton of books I haven't recommended before as well as some returning ones.
Yay for Kiki's! And I'm totally on board with seeing Dragonlance videos, I loved that series so much growing up! I'm afraid Harry Potter was ruined for me by Rowling's raging transphobia. Being a transwoman whose life partner is also trans, her rhetoric puts us both in danger. As such when I see anything Harry Potter related, all I can see is her message putting us more at risk.

Dragonlance is one of my ultimate cozy re-reads! Still love those characters! Totally there for Dragonlance videos
Wow, I was not expecting this. Dragonlance fans are like an endangered species.
😂 Capri-Sun. Love it! 😂 and dude, so awesome to hear you enjoyed Stone & Sky! Hope you love the rest of Karnak’s journey! 🤙
I can’t believe you referenced the edge chronicles. I loved these books as a kid!
Love your content. Keep it up.
I grew up with Goosebumps! I would like very much a video with a comprehensive history of these books!
The edge chronicles changed my life. Still keep book 1 on my desk

I luv Fall Season 🍁🍃🌿 you feel like wrapping up warm and reading books… 📚
My favorite season! ☺
Cozy is such a cozy word ☺️
Well your not wrong lol
Yes! Edge Chronicles! My husband introduced me to these a couple of years back and I'm slowly working my way through. Literally just finished Vox last night. Sure they're quirky kids' books but some of them actually get pretty dark.
That's awesome!! Glad you're enjoying them! :D And yes they do get pretty dark at times for kids books. I need to reread them soon!
I was so excited you talked about The Edge Chronicles! I have the original hardbacks and I love them!
So cool to find more people in the comments who have read them 😀 I eventually want to reread them all and make a full video on the edge chronicles!
Omg I was really hoping he would make a video like this!!!!!
Perfect! Hope you enjoy!!! 😁

Re-reading Mossflower Redwall prequel. The Redwall series definitely feels like a fall - winter read ☺️
I love “Dragon Lance “ I haven’t read them in a long time!!! Thanks for reminding me of them…. Love your channel 😊
You are so welcome! And thank you for watching! 😁 It's been quite a while since I read Dragonlance as well, but it was one of those foundational series that really helped form my love for fantasy

I loved Jonathan Strange, I gotta read Piranesi. Also, I’ve heard so much good things about Sword Of Kaigen, I need to get around to it.
My daughter loved the Goosebumps series. I loved The Night Circus. Am intrigued by Gormenghast.
If Gormenghast sounds interesting to you, you should definitely give it a chance! :) There's also a BBC mini-series adaptation that came out in 2000 that is pretty charming too, although the books are of course much better
You refuse to read Doors of Stone.
My LOTR re-reads are always in Autumn, it would feel wrong in any other season!
I think I would pick neverwhere or stardust over graveyard book. I agree about gaiman tho. Waiting to see how it all pans out.
Was looking for this exact type of video
I would love for you to do a video on Dragonlance. It's been so long since I read that series and it was one of the first epic fantasy series. I think I watched the show of Goosebumps more than the books, but I had a few of them.
Redwall is amazing. Great pick!
I am reading the silver blood promise and it’s great so far thanks for the recommendation
I read more spring and summer, the first warm days on the balcony with the sun
So last year i read Night in the Lonesome October after watching your video and i could think of nothing else for the whole month of october.

Have you read “The Witches of Eileanan”? Kate Forsyth
I've never heard of that one, but just looked it up and it sounds very interesting!
Edge Chronicles mentioned 😱
Few like the Piranesi and The Night Circus already have been on my tbr for sometime. From what you have told, they definitely sound like nice cozy reads
Very cozy! I hope you enjoy the reads when you eventually get to them :)
FIRST COMMENT!
Dragonlance: Legend Of Huma is good too!
Very good video!
Thank you!!
Nooo I didn’t know they canceled the HP editions 😭
Yeah the news was just dropped early this month I believe 😭
Truly a tragedy! 💔
Let’s goooooo

if i could live forever i would probably be reading all the books in this video >.
I truly don't get why everyone loves Piranesi.
I do get it, the story itself has a sense of whimsy and curiosity that I do adore, but it was also very predictable so I get the naysayers as well
I always enjoy your videos and my very favorite are your seasonal recommendations. I would love to see a festive winter holiday list!
Thanks for watching!! i'll definitely work on a festive holiday list this winter 😁
Omg LISTEN TO REVENGE OF THE LAWN GNOMES!!!!
I never did read that one! I think that will be my next listen, thanks! 😄
@@CapturedInWords you’re welcome!
