Runs on Coffee and Cream

As a mood reader, the fall season makes me want to deep dive into fantasy books. Something about the dark, fantasy universes fit with the cozy fall season. I also decided to throw in a fall-themed romance book because the title won me over and I can't scroll social media without seeing the book cover. This is my fall book list. 

Are we all rewatching Gilmore Girls again now that fall is here?! I'm halfway through season 1 AGAIN. It's my comfort show and I could honestly have it on constantly. It's crazy that I'm now older that Lorelai when the show started...

Seth Cohen grew up and melted our hearts all over again. And when I say "our hearts", I mean, us, millennials. We fell for his nerdy awkwardness in The OC and now, again, all grown up as a nerdy, passionate, and very kind-hearted man. And the chemistry he has with Veronica, um, I mean, Kristen Bell, is SO good. Seriously, watch this show!

 

Let's be honest, my backlog of books to be read on my Kobo is insanely long. But, more and more books keep being released that I MUST have. November's new book releases are no exception. These are the titles I'm most wanting to pick up. 

 

What do I consider a witchy book? Usually they're rainy, take place in autumn or winter, are moody, definitely magical, have a cozy vibe, and obviously they star witches. Some of these witchy reads are lighthearted, romantic, coming of age, or fantasy stories. But they all have magical, strong woman who are witches. The weather outside always influences what I read, and right now, any of these books would be the perfect fit. Here are my picks for books for October (and the rest of the cold months). 

What's cozy gaming? It's just that - gaming that provides a cozy atmosphere; relaxing, comforting, not stressful. After learning about this newer gaming genre, I realized cozy gaming has always been what I've been interested in and played. Probably one of the most popular cozy games? The Animal Crossing series, and well, I've put in hundreds of hours into Animal Crossing New Horizons and New Leaf. I've explored this genre with Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, Disney Dreamlight Valley and Story of Seasons as well. I love these cozy farming-type games. 

In September, two new cozy games are being released and they have topped my wish list!

Flannel shirts are a staple for fall, right? Especially oversized and super soft ones! I purchased one from Cakeworthy back in the spring and it is THE BEST. And now they've released an incredible line up of Halloween-inspired clothing, including flannels.

Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, The Haunted Mansion, and SO MUCH more!

Look at this Haunted Mansion Glow dress!

The entire collection is huge so I'm only sharing a handful of my favourites. Definitely check out Cakeworthy's entire Halloween line.
