If you’re anything like me, fall is your season. The leaves are swirling, the evenings are getting crisp, football is back, and suddenly all I want to do is slow down and soak up the cozy. That’s where the magic of a Pumpkin Spice Latte (yes, the one you can grab right here on my website), a snuggly fall blanket, and the perfect book come together.

So here’s the plan: brew up that latte, wrap yourself in your softest throw, and get ready to dive into a story that feels like it’s straight out of a Hallmark movie. I’ve rounded up five books from Amazon that will transport you to small towns, pumpkin patches, and apple orchards — all without leaving your couch.

5 Fun, Cozy Reads to Match Your Pumpkin Spice Latte

 

1. The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore –  Amazon

You knew this one had to be first, right? Jeanie inherits her aunt’s café in the quaint town of Dream Harbor, where she stirs up more than just lattes. Enter Logan, the local farmer who’d rather keep things exactly the same. Will pumpkin spice and a little bit of love change his mind? This one is warm, heart-warming, and practically begs for a latte in hand.

2. The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn by Valerie Bowman – Amazon

Apple orchards, autumn festivals, and romance that simmers right alongside the cider. If you love the idea of a cozy inn and a love story that unfolds under twinkle lights and falling leaves, this one will make you swoon.

3. Falling Like Leaves by Misty Wilson – Amazon Audible

City girl. Small town. An old flame. Add in the town’s fall festival and you’ve got the perfect ingredients for a weekend escape you’ll wish you were living. It’s sweet, heartfelt, and checks all the cozy-romance boxes.

4. Fall I Want by Lyra Parish – Amazon Audible

This feel-good rom-com is the perfect balance of sass, laughs, and heart. If you like a little sparkle and witty banter with your small-town cozy vibes, you’ll want to curl up with this one on a rainy afternoon.

5. Let’s Give ’Em Pumpkin to Talk About by Esra Popp – Amazon

She comes home. He’s still there. The pumpkins are big, but the emotions are even bigger. You’ll laugh, sigh, and maybe even shed a happy tear as these two sort through old memories and discover new beginnings — all surrounded by pumpkin fields and that warm, autumn glow.

Set the Scene for Your Reading Escape

Here’s how I like to do it:

• Grab a Pumpkin Spice Latte ( find the recipe here. ) because coffee + pumpkin + spice = instant fall happiness.
• Light a candle (bonus points if it’s apple or cinnamon scented).
• Pile on the soft blankets and maybe even fuzzy socks.
• Pick one of the books above and let yourself drift off into another world.

Because sometimes, the very best way to celebrate the season is with a hot drink in your hand, a good book in your lap, and a few quiet minutes just for yourself.

So tell me — which one of these books are you reaching for first? And if you’ve got a favorite cozy fall read, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s keep building our fall reading list together!
