The gentle Autumn rain taps at the window as the sky grows darker with the clouds and fog. Inside the atmosphere is cozy, with swirls of pumpkin pie twirling about the room. The soft glow of the fairy lights with the flickering candle create a calming view as I type.

Hello, my lovelies! ♡
Welcome to night one of the 13 Nights of Pink-O-Ween! Over the next 13 days, I have a plethora of enchanting post for the spookiest time of the year on my own spin on blogtober.
Tonight, the air is foggy & rainy, my pumpkin candles and incense are lit, and I’ve curled up in my favorite spot with a my kindle app!
My most favorite time of year is here again, autumn is the season for fated, atmospheric romance, where mist hangs heavy over the forest and love feels as inevitable as the changing leaves.
These five books are my absolute favorite companions for a cozy, enchanted autumn night. They all take place in Autumn or Halloween, making them perfect to add to your October/November “To Be Reads.”
So grab a warm cup of pumpkin spice tea, and let’s dive into these dreamy worlds of sapphic devotion!
☾ October by Nicole Pyland — Probably my most favorite out of the bunch! This book is actually part of a series where the second of every month a new book drops and the title is that current month, I love it so much I recommend reading them all. However this one takes place in October where a woman, Molly, falls for a co-worker, Finely, who just so happens to be on again off again with another co-worker, India. Finely is finally ready to move on from that relationship and realizes she likes Molly, who doesn’t believe Finely and India are truly over.
☾ Not Just Gal Pals by Elizabeth Luly — This is a cozy Autumnal book that i’ve just started myself! It follows an influencer named Jenny who has recently been canceled due to an unfortunate post. This leads her to extending her time in her hometown of Sapphire Springs, where she is visiting for her finest friend’s wedding. Enter Blake, Sapphire Spring’s only doctor, who’s had a crush on Jenny since high school. A crush that causes her to act awkward anytime she sees Jenny, who views it as Blake disliking her. Now Jenny and Blake must work together on their friend’s bachelorette party where sparks begin to fly.
☾ Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist by Ali K. Mulford & K. Elle Morrison — This is a “To Be Read” for me, but the concept intrigued me! An apothecary witch named Jordyn has romance on her mind when she gets witch wasted accidentally conjures up her dead ex girlfriend. Her dead ex is now haunting her until she finds someone new to move on with. Harlow, the new girl in town, soon realizes that magic really exists in Maple Hallow and she soon meets Jordyn as sparks being to fly. Will Jordyn’s ghostly girlfriend get in the way of love?
☾ Taping into Love by Monica McCallan — This one is a re-read for me because I love it so much! Back in town after the death of her father, Sierra Westmoore tries to rent out a room in the town’s bed and breakfast called The Maple Inn. The Inn is owned by Lucy and her family and Lucy does not care for the Westmoore family or the maple syrup they produce. Sierra has a plan with her brother to make things right and changing the opinion of the town about their family now that their father is gone. Lucy doesn’t believe a Westmoore could ever change, but will feelings for Sierra change her mind?
☾ Curses & Coldbrew by Ali K. Mulford & K. Elle Morrison — Another “To Be Read” for me! This book takes us back to the magical, ghostly town of Maple Hallow. This time we meet Ramona Henry, whose soul has gone missing and she sets out to go find the thief. Iris Stonewood is Maple Hallow’s flirtatious witch, who Ramona is annoyed by. When Iris is bored she decides she’s going to help Ramona find her soul. When souls start vanishing like candy on Halloween, they must find the culprit before Iris’s soul is next. Ramona and Iris are on the hunt all while their chemistry rises.
