Fall has completely settled in, and it’s time to say goodbye to ghosts and goblins and get ready to gather for the get-togethers of November. Consider these books your bridge to the holidays—and it’s time to get cozy!

While November’s often thought of as a time of dormancy, there are plenty of new reads popping up all month long. Perhaps you want to catch up with a long-lasting series or fall into a fabulous fantasy. And if you need an escape from the present, you can take a look back with some nostalgic memories.

Also, as a Taylor Swift addict, I’d be remiss not to mention there’s a new book out about the Queen of Pop this month, too.

So, let’s gobble up all the good reads, get ready for family and friend-focused festivities, and enjoy a great audiobook or two while traveling!
