'Gilmore Girls'
‘Gilmore Girls’

As the leaves change color, nothing is superior to cozying up by the fireplace with the perfect fall comfort show. For me, that will always be the nostalgic 2000s drama “Gilmore Girls.” The main characters Lorelai, a stylish single mother, and Rory, her smart and sarcastic daughter, are emblematic of a unique dynamic shaped by their small age gap: best friends first, mother and daughter second. Their opposite personalities are perfect complements, contributing to the comedy, romance and 2000’s fall feel of the show. As the two stroll through the town in cute boots and scarves with coffees in hand, the fall aesthetic is conveyed in a unique and intimate way. Even as the environment around us changes, the show holds its place as a testament to my autumn ritual — because nothing screams fall like watching “Gilmore Girls.”

'Charlie Brown'
‘Charlie Brown’

Charlie Brown, the star of “Peanuts,” a famous TV series, has been bringing warm autumn vibes to viewers around the world since 1966, when the classic movie “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” debuted on TV. Good ol’ Charlie Brown returns to the screen every year as his loveable and adorably confidence-lacking self. He and his friends spend their Halloween trick-or-treating, partying and camping out at the local pumpkin patch to get a glimpse of a mythical creature — will Charlie’s friend Linus lay eyes on the Great Pumpkin?

Fall Songs

What’s up, music fanatics! It’s DJ Fall Feels coming at you with songs for autumn. Music is the best way to get into spirit, so here is a mix of popular and hidden gem tunes for the cozy vibes.

Sliding into jazz, we have “Paradise” by Sade. You might recognize this artist’s name from “Smooth Operator,” but this song is just as smooth and satisfying.

“Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac is another. Everything about this beat makes me want to grab a pumpkin spice latte, crack open a book and curl up in a blanket. Nothing gets you quite in that fall mood like Fleetwood Mac.

‘Wolf Hollow’

I flew through Lauren Wolf’s historical fiction novel Wolf Hollow in one sitting, and it made me want to light a candle and drink a large mug of peppermint tea. If you’re an avid historical fiction fan, or enjoy reading novels that are a perfect blend of beauty and suspense, this book is for you.

It follows 12-year-old Annabelle McBride’s life, which is peaceful until Betty Glengarry, a vicious bully from the city, joins her class and targets Annabelle and her younger brothers.

This novel is a perfect fall read, with its detailed descriptions of the tense October atmosphere and the suspenseful tone truly depicting poignant events. Be sure to add it to your bookshelf this autumn!
