Slippers at the ready: hibernating season is here. It’s time to get cosy, and what could be more inviting than a good armchair and an even better book? To inspire your Autumn reading list, we turned to Content Creator and ‘bookstagrammer’ @tillylovesbooks, whose snappy reviews and enviable shelfies have earned her 107k followers (and counting). Here she shares her top novels for the season.

'Spells for forgetting' by Adrienne Young

“The perfect atmospheric Autumn read, this has one of my favourite settings and is full of romance, mystery and a little bit of magic!”

'Weyward' by Emilia Hart

“No Autumn is complete without a witchy novel, and this is one of the best. The characters’ connection to the natural world is beautifully written and makes for perfect Autumn reading.”

'What you are looking for is in the library' by Michiko Aoyama

“An absolute hug of a book, which is perfect to cosy up and escape with – this novel is all about the magic of books and libraries, and is also my go-to gift for fellow readers.”

'We begin at the end' by Chris Whitaker

“Good thrillers are fantastic all year round, and this is my personal favourite. Unforgettable characters, an incredible sense of place and twists and turns to keep you reading late into the night!”
