Simple Tips for the Ultimate Fall Reading Experience

The air is starting to turn crisp, the leaves are changing to vibrant yellows and reds, and suddenly, all you want is a cozy blanket, a steaming mug of something warm, and a book you can disappear into for hours.

But if you really want to elevate your autumn reading routine, a few small touches can make a big difference, think: lighting, location, and of course, the perfect fall-inspired TBR.

Whether you’re reading outside under golden leaves or curled up indoors while the rain taps the windows, these tips will help you create the perfect fall reading vibe.

The first thing you need is a great candle. Not only does it offer that perfect moody light, but it also fills your senses. This collection of bookish candles by Mythologie Candles is perfect for fall reading. You’ll feel like you’re in a dark academia style library with brass sconces, leather couches, and probably a centaur moseying by.

Everyone knows you have to have a warm beverage for the perfect, cozy fall reading experience. And I think your mug should match the aesthetic to really make the cozy happen, so why not choose something like this Donovan Pottery hand-thrown mug (and tea set)?

Of course, no cozy reading experience should go without a soft, cozy blanket.

And finally, what fall reading is complete without a warm beverage? This Magic Hour tea has the perfect name to get the job done. These organic ceremonial teas are sure to transport you into a world of autumnal magic.

There are so many more things that would make for a perfect, cozy fall reading session. But not all of us can make an entire reading nook in the span of a weekend to celebrate the season…or can we?

Happy reading!
