Welcome to a new Spine & Leaf Books segment: Reading by the Season!
Four times a year I’ll be releasing a new list of 12 books inspired by the season.
Sometimes the setting will take place in a particular month or time of year, other times it’s just a vibe. Some are based on the title relating to the season. Maybe a few will be personal; I will remember when I first read the book and unconsciously relate to a time and place.
I hope you find some books on this list that will feel great to read in the season.
Fall Books
Fall is here and my list of fall books is as well. Enjoy these 12 book selections to read this autumn.
One per week(ish) will keep you going while the air turns crisp, the sun sets early, and the leaves begin to drop. Enjoy these books around the campfire or while you wait for the football game to start.
I hope you find some charming and thoughtful books on this list.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
Teenager Jacob discovers an empty and abandoned orphanage full of strange photos of children who are extremely peculiar. But they might still be in the orphanage, held out of time. Who are they really?
13 Reasons Why
The book that inspired the hit Netflix show of the same name, 13 Reasons Why is stunning. It’s a complex and heart-wrenching story centered around the suicide of a teenage girl.
Things Fall Apart
Tradition and advancement come head to head in this tale set in pre-colonial Nigeria. Igbo warrior Okonkwo stars in the first of three books as he endures a changing world where he no longer holds power.
The Name of the Wind
In the first book of an unfinished epic fantasy trilogy, Kvothe narrates the story of his own life. A life of magic, power, music, and deception. The epic scale and hilariously witty characters will have you hooked.
The Vanishing Half
Twin sisters on divergent paths reunite when their teenage daughters figure out the family connection. But the twins have chosen vastly different lives and are worlds apart.
Angels and Demons

A Terrible Fall of Angels

Gumption
Nick Offerman is the embodiment of all things good in wild America. He values nature, hard work, and grit; the traits he recognizes in his heroes which he details here.
A Discovery of Witches
Diana Bishop didn’t mean to do a lot of things: like fall in love with a vampire or discover a long-lost tome that only she has the power to unlock. But that’s life in this fantastical story that blends history, lore, and romance.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Follow Eddie, a now-aged veteran, as he meets 5 people in Heaven. After dying, he’s feeling like his life was nothing special. Until he hears about the unique influence and impact he has left behind.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter, an 11-year-old wizard, makes friends and plays sports while learning magic at his new wizard school. But an unresolved danger from his past lies in the shadows. A classic tale of good versus evil set in the magically stunning wizarding world.
Atomic Habits
The only thing harder than building good habits is breaking bad ones. James Clear, a habit-pro, can give you practical advice and real-world tools to reshape your life.
