Autumn is such a delightful season! It lends itself to long walks crunching through gem colored leaves, sipping hot spiced cider in front of crackling fires, and reading aloud snuggled together on the couch.

Like my lifelong bosom friend, Anne, I am so glad to live in a world with Octobers! Aren’t you?

We are sharing a wonderful living book list with you today that contains some of our family favorite Autumn read alouds. Not all these books are Autumn themed, or even happen in the fall, but they are books we seem to gravitate to when the wind begins to rustle the brightly colored leaves and the chill in the air beckons us to more indoor activity.

This is the book list included with our beautiful fall resource, A Gentle Thanksgiving. You can use the code LBAUTUMN to save 25% off A Gentle Thanksgiving just for checking out our book list post! We hope you’ll share the post with friends and the wonderful books with your family.
