Book List: Cozy Queers & Fall Vibes
Break out the pumpkin spice lattes, fall is almost here!
I know, I know, summer isn’t over. We still have 20+ days of hot weather ahead of us. But autumn is when I thrive, it’s when I become my favourite self, so forgive me if I want to get an early start.
If, like me, you’re dreaming of a cozy queer fall, I have a book list for you. Whether you’re craving romance, dark academia, fantasy, or even regency time travel, there’s a pick here for you. So light a woodsy-scented candle, snuggle under a comfy blanket, and step into fall with these queer reads.
You, Again by Kate Goldbeck
This comes out Sept 12 and mine is already ordered. The cover screams fall, right? It’s giving When Harry Met Sally but make it bisexual.
Pride and Prejudice and Pittsburgh by Rachael Lippincott
A sapphic time travel regency rom-com? Yes. This just hit shelves this week!
Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail by Ashley Herring Blake
An enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy with big HGTV energy.
Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler
This is perfect for early September days, the summer-to-fall period when the leaves are just starting to change. Oh, and it’s super gay. Obvi.
Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
Is it even autumn without dark academia? This has been called Gossip Girl meets Get Out and honestly I can’t think of a cooler way to describe it.
New Adult by Timothy Janovsky
A queer take on 13 Going On 30, giving all the best qualities of a 90s-2000s rom-com.
Morbidly Yours by Ivy Fairbanks
An Irish mortuary has got to be the most original setting for a romantic comedy ever. I can’t wait to read this one!
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
An orc retires from battle to open a cozy coffee shop. A low-stakes, much-loved read perfect for fantasy fans.
These Witches Don't Burn by Isabel Sterling
Modern-day Salem, sapphic witches, and exes who have to team up to fight a common enemy. What more could you want?
Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors
There’s something so ‘fall’ about messy people making even messier choices in New York, don’t you think?
The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by K.J. Charles
A regency romance between a well-to-do gentleman and a swashbuckling smuggler.
Godly Heathens by H. E. Edgmon
A nonbinary, Native American teen finds out they are a reincarnated God from another world. This doesn’t come out until November 28, but from what I’ve already heard about it, it will be worth a perfect fantasy read for fall/winter.
