Top Ten Tuesday: Book Covers that Give off Fall Vibes


Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Closeup photo of yellow autumn leaves still on the branch. After a long, hot, humid summer, autumn is such a relief.

No more heat waves.

No more forest fires.

No more air quality warnings (hopefully).

My seasonal allergies will rapidly improve after the first overnight freeze.

Pumpkin-flavoured stuff is everywhere.

Soon the leaves will change colour and be beautiful for several weeks.

And Halloween is only about a month away!

In honour of that, here are ten book covers that give off fall vibes:

Book cover for oncakes by Suzanne Walker. Image on cover shows a drawing of a witch holding a steaming pie and a young man standing next to her as he easts something out of a bowl with a content expression on his face.

  1. These all look so delightfully autumn! I think I had Susan’s on my shelf at one time. 🙂

  2. You found so many books that not only celebrate fall with festive covers and titles, but that also are great reads.

  3. Some really clever choices. I like the Shirley Jackson one, very spooky.

  4. I love Susan Meissner’s books but still need to read that one! My TTT

  5. I love love love Pumpkinheads and Mooncakes! 😍 I still need to read The Girl Who Drank the Moon but I love that cover too. Great picks!

  6. Good call on TKAM! (Funny, though, since we in Alabama don’t really get fall. XD)

    Yeah, here’s hoping for better air quality and no more forest fires for a long while! I Loved both Mooncakes and Pumpkinheads so much!

  8. Mooncakes has been on my TBR for too long, it sounds like a fun read and the cover is so pretty!

  9. Mooncakes and Pumpkinheads are fall favorites of mine! I think I’ve overdue for a reread of Mooncakes, though. It’s been a while!

  10. Between the colors, the subject matter, and the design, these books are all perfect for the season. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.

  11. Mooncakes was delightful, and a perfect choice for this week’s topic! And The Girl Who Drank the Moon as a great cover, too. That one’s on my TBR list, if I ever get to it.

  12. Nice Picks. Pumpkin Spice up your life looks good. Thank you for visiting earlier.

  13. You picked some great ones! I am off to see about The Haunting of Hill House.

  14. Squashed for the win! Minimalist!

  15. You found some very fun autumnal covers! Kudos. 😀

  16. Yay for fall and your list definitely has an autumn vibe.

  17. I agree, so many great things about Fall😁 I love the covers for Mooncakes and The Cider House Rules.

  18. The Haunting of Hill House is SUCH a good cover!

  19. Both Mooncakes and Pumpkinheads were super cute and really hit that ‘cozy’ vibe.

  20. That’s a fantastic and comprehensive list of covers! I particularly love your inclusion of spooky classics like **The Haunting of Hill House**—nothing says autumn like a good atmospheric ghost story! And of course, **Pumpkinheads** and **Pumpkin Spice Up Your Life** are perfectly on-theme.

  21. I loved The Girl Who Drank the Moon! Great list!!

  22. I haven’t thought about The Cider House Rules in a long time. I remember loving that book! This is a great mix — so fun to see Mooncakes and Pumpkinheads included!

  23. So funny how different seasons mean different things for different regions. Fall is actually the start of our fire season. Mooncakes has one of the most charming covers.

  24. Love these – especially The Girl Who Drank the Moon. Happy Thursday!

  25. Mooncakes is really calling to me because it’s the Mooncake Festival and I’m feeling nostalgic!

  26. What fabulous choices, Lydia. Definitely fall vibes.
