Curl Up & Read: Cozy Fall Picks from Copper & Fern
The air is turning crisp, and the days are getting that unmistakable scent of leaves crunching underfoot. Fall has a way of reminding us to slow down; to trade the busyness of summer adventures for something softer, quieter, and a little more reflective.
There’s no better way to honor this shift than by curling up with a good book, a warm drink, and a cozy blanket. At Copper & Fern, we believe that books aren’t just something you read — they’re something you experience. They become part of your rituals: the soft pages under lamplight at the end of a long day, the words that keep you company during slow Sunday mornings, the ones that make you laugh out loud when no one’s watching.
This fall, we’ve handpicked a collection of books that feel like little companions for the season ahead — stories and guides to inspire, heal, and delight.
Fall Is For Rituals
There’s a rhythm to fall that invites ritual. Maybe it’s the first cup of tea you brew while the house is still quiet, or the way you light a candle as the sun dips a little earlier. Books like Crystal Borrelli’s Within the Divine Realm are perfect for these slow, sacred moments — guiding you inward, connecting you to the earth, and turning your daily routine into something a little more magical.
Making Space For Slowness
Modern life doesn’t leave much room for stillness — which is why Fall can feel like such a gift. Creating little moments of slowness is how we recalibrate. Maybe that looks like flipping open Leigh Joseph’s Held by the Land and learning about Indigenous plants and their healing properties, or maybe it’s simply sitting with a coloring pencil and the Wild Life Camp Colouring Book, letting your mind wander as your hands move. These practices help us come back to ourselves.
Finding Comfort and Connection
The shift into cooler weather also brings a deep craving for connection — with others and with ourselves. Shannon Cairney’s Oh Hi Motherhood is like a hug for every mom who’s feeling stretched thin this season, reminding you that you’re more than just the tasks and the lunches and the school schedules. And for those moments when what you need most is a good laugh, Heather Hendrie’s Awfully Hilarious: Stories We Never Tell is the perfect companion, offering real, raw, laugh-until-you-snort stories that make you feel a little less alone.
If you’re looking for something for the little ones in your life, look no further than S is for Squamish by Our Simple Story, and numerous Indigenous Books from Native Northwest.
Your Fall Reading Moment Awaits
Whether you’re craving wisdom, humor, or just something beautiful to page through by the fire, our book collection was curated with this season in mind. Think of it as your permission slip to slow down — to swap scrolling for stories, to let the seasons set the pace, to sit with words that feel good for your heart. Pour yourself that tea, wrap up in your coziest blanket, and choose a book that calls to you. You can browse our full book collection right here — your perfect fall reading moment is waiting.
