The fall and winter months lend themselves to more book reading. Shorter days and longer nights, cooler temps, and the hankering to get cozy are just a few reasons to enjoy a good book in the fall.
I love a good book list. It allows me to always have a book ‘on deck’ so I’m never without something to read. Today I’m sharing a Book List for Fall for moms and kids.
Book List for Fall (For Moms)
Welcome Home
Myquillin Smith (aka The Nester) is my home decorating boss. She is real, down to earth, and has coined the term ‘cozy minimalist’, which I love. Her new book, Welcome Home came out September 15 and you better believe I pre-ordered it. This is her third book (I highly recommend her other two) and is about creating a home with more style and less stuff for each season.
The Lazy Genius Way
Kendra Adachi introduced me to one of my favorite meals: change your life chicken. She is a mom, wife, podcaster, and creator of The Lazy Genius movement. I am looking forward to diving into The Lazy Genius Way this fall.
Simplicity Parenting
Once a year, I try and read this book. It’s my favorite parenting book and one I gain a lot of value from. Kim John Payne thoroughly describes the childhood I want for my kids and how to get there. I thought I would get to this book over the summer, but it didn’t happen. It’s on my Book List for Fall.
You Be You: Why Satisfaction and Success Are Closer Than You Think
This is Jamie Ivey’s second book and comes out October 1, 2020. Jamie is a podcaster, mom, wife, and loves Jesus. I am a big fan of her and her work. I know I’m going to love this one.
Night Road
If you haven’t read Kristin Hannah, you should. The Nightingale, The Great Alone, Firefly Lane, and Winter Garden are some of my favorite books, all by Hannah. Somehow I missed this 2011 book and I’m excited to read it this fall. The only fiction book on the list, I will devour this one.
Book List for Fall (For Kids)
Scarecrow by Cynthia Rylant
It’s not fall without a book about a scarecrow. This book is sweet and is the perfect lead in to a scarecrow art project. Check out this Art Hub for Kids.
Because of an Acorn by Lola M. Schaefer and Adam Schaefer
Every fall we have little oak trees growing in our yard because our squirrel friends bury acorns everywhere. This is the perfect book to discuss the connections of nature. It’s simple and short and begs for a nature walk after reading.
Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn by Kenard Pak
Recommended by Sarah McKenzie over at Read Aloud Revival, this book is beautiful and gets you in the mood for fall.
Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper
Pumpkin Soup tells the story of friendship and three animals making pumpkin soup. My kids love to reread this one and giggle every time.
Applesauce Day by Lisa J. Amstutz
If you’re heading to an apple orchard to Celebrate Fall, this is a great read before or after you go.
Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew: The Pumpkin Patch Puzzle
Mysteries are a thing around here and Nancy Drew is queen of mysteries. We will be reading The Pumpkin Patch Puzzle this fall.
The Friendship Garden: Pumpkin Spice
The Friendship Garden series is new to us, but it looks sweet and perfect for ages 4-8, which is great for our family.
Reading seems like the right thing to do in the fall. Tell me: What books will you be reading this fall?
