The fall season feels, tastes and sounds different for everyone. Fall is a favored season for readers and writers.
Yes, I’m biased towards this season. Therefore, I’ve created a playlist that includes various genres that can fit with the aesthetic of the fall season and that I hope you will find inspiring. This playlist mixes upbeat, classical, and softer music to make a diverse playlist that changes your emotions faster than the leaves change colors.
If you’re like me, you enjoy melodies that make you feel like the main characters in a novel, and that’s what the included piano and violin pieces are for. Additionally, for the writers, the different genres can help gauge different emotions which can be helpful in your writing.

In addition, the following activities could be completed while listening to these songs: book annotation picnic, book club brunch get-together (fall themed of course), pumpkin decorating (make it bookish), and/or reading in fall aesthetic places.
I hope these songs either make reading feel like a dream, transcending you into different reading realms; or aid in creating someone’s future favorite story. Enjoy!
