The transition to fall has begun! Sure, summer doesn’t officially end until Wednesday (September 22) but after Labor Day, we start yearning for cozy quilts, woodsy candles, and all things pumpkin spice. While the weather outside may still be frightfully hot where you are, autumn’s chill is en route, and it provides the perfect excuse to cuddle up to a good book. There’s nothing better than escaping into a captivating story (especially if it’s one of our book club suggestions!) while sipping on a hot cocoa by the fire. Here’s our list of this week’s best books.
