Leaf piles, gorgeous late-afternoon sun, crisp mornings: It’s definitely fall again outside, and we couldn’t be happier. One of the best things about the chillier temperatures of autumn is that tons of new books are always released around this time, and we all have more time to read them, now that picnics and BBQs and rooftop hangs are not constantly going on around the clock. Love you, summer, but—hello, fall!

OK, we definitely found plenty of time to burry our heads in a book when the weather was warm too—lying on a blanket in the park reading for hours is pretty much the best summer activity ever (or on the beach, if you’re a sun goddess who also wears sunscreen, obviously)—but there’s just something about fall that inspires us to brew a pot of tea, curl up in a nook somewhere, and read all day.
