books you *need* to read this fall | classics, fantasy, horror & cozy recommendations ☕️🍂

I could also recommend carmilla but I just feel like I had a lot more fun reading a dowry of blood

I just I would highly recommend this honestly of course like that's why it's on this list it's just such a wonderful book

I'm only 100 pages in because every single page there is something to annotate there is just something that makes me want to stop and fully immerse myself in this book I Don't Want to Miss a single word because everything is so beautifully constructed and everything is so violent

carmilla is also good yeah carmilla is also like the original vampire maybe I'll just recommend both a dowry of blood and carmilla are great vampire books

I really love this story because even though our main character is this little girl and you think it's just going to be this really fun this really quirky type of story it can get quite spooky at times and I will be honest I was scared sometimes

this is a must on your Classics Autumn Fall TBR

when I first read this book I was just I instantly fell in love with everything about it and as I was reading it I just kept thinking to myself this book would be perfect to read in October it's whimsical and magical and heartwarming and so fun to read

oh my God the easiest five star I've ever given in this whole entire world it's filled with Darkness and Gore and violence and Beauty

I think it's one of the most beautiful works of literature that I've ever had the honor of reading

this state of confusion this state of trying to make sense of what's going on is what made this reading experience so enjoyable

it's such a personal story to me in the sense that I could feel what she was feeling or I've felt what she's felt and the way that she handles things the things that are happening around her family the characters the story it was so beautiful

moon cakes is heartwarming and playful and simply wonderful

when I read it I'm kind of in the middle if I'm honest like I don't really hate it but I also don't love it but I do love the concept of it

I recently read Sense and Sensibility and it's become a new favorite classic just because the way that this story progresses and the way that these characters you're growing with them along the way the way that the themes of sensibility and sense are explored is also really just genius

the way that this house feels like a character the way that you never really know what's happening you don't know if you're going insane you don't know if the family is insane and like you don't know who to believe you don't know who to rely on and this feeling of not knowing is so fun

I feel like I never really do a good job at explaining why this book means so much to me and why this is one of my favorite books of all time

the descriptions and the writing I think are so beautiful and they're so lyrical and I think that the whole mystery as well is so exciting and it keeps you on your toes

when I love a book so much it's so hard for me to explain why it's so hard for me to explain why it's so good why you should read it just do it just read The Picture of Dorian Gray

a wonderfully twisted and perverse and also iconic beautiful tragic traumatic reading experience and I want everybody to feel what I felt when I read it

some of these stories left me wide-eyed not wanting to close my eyes for fear of something creeping up on me on the dark it was excellent everything I wanted Perfection

I also could recommend we have always lived in the castle both of these books are stunningly beautiful
