- Hello my dears! 🍂✨
Today, I’m thrilled to share a curated list of Dark Academia books that capture the mystery, allure, and beauty of this genre! It wasn’t easy to compile this list, as Dark Academia means something different for everyone. For some, it’s as simple as the familiar, magical halls of Harry Potter, while for others, it’s a unique blend of gothic atmosphere, intellectual intrigue, and shadowed secrets. I’ve gathered a selection that I hope will have a little something for every taste-from enchanting mysteries to haunting tales that linger long after the final page. These reads are perfect for curling up with as the evenings grow colder and darker! 📚🍁
Have you read any of these atmospheric gems? Let me know which ones are finding their way onto your TBR! 🖤📚

Do you post your recipes anywhere? Your baking always looks so delectable! I don't know where you live or where you get all your props or anything, but I love watching your book recommendations as well as enjoying the entire setup and ambiance you create! If you had a bookshop cafe, I would be there all the time!!
I'm always excited to watch your videos, not for the book recs only. but for the delicious snacks you feature! I have to admit,your attention to detail 🤗I get distracted by the treats and forget about the books 🙈❤️I love your channel🫶🏾🤍
100% agree!! It’s a snowy morning where I live and this video is nice and cozy 🔥 📚 🫖
If I ever make it to Africa for our city trip together, I'll make sure to bring plenty of delicious pastries 😉🥧 It would be such a pleasure to spend an afternoon tea with you 🤗🫖
@@amomentofwonder Aww🤗that sounds like a dream come true.I'd love to share an afternoon tea with you, surrounded by the beauty of Africa.( Uganda )🫶🏾
I have such a long list of books to get from the library thanks to you, I am reading more than I have in years!
My daughter is completely captivated by this channel (and really likes your graphic novel recs) - these books are a bit mature for her but one day!
We both wish Brews & Books was real, and existed in our town 😊
Yay new video :) I love these videos, definition of cosy :)
Oh thank you 🤗 that's such a compliment, cosy and comfortable vibes are exactly what I want for my videos 📚🫖🥧
A tip for the hospitality! It’s the extra little things: the sift, the drizzle, the dollop, the stir, and the warm welcomes, that makes this series so cozy
I really can't thank you enough for the constant support of my channel 🤗❤️ That is so generous and kind of you. And thank you for the lovely comment as well 📚🫖
Let me treat you to a cup of tea this time! 🍁🍵🧡 You and your videos are lovely and sweet.
Oh that's so kind, thank you very much for the support - and the cup of tea of course 🤗❤️ I'll make sure to enjoy it in peace and quiet with a good book. Thank you 📚🫖🥰
I love your Channel ❤ looking forward to every new video and it's always worth it 😊
That is such a kind thing to say, thank you very much 📚❤️
I absolutely love your Brew and Books videos and I always look forward to them! I read All the Dead Lie Down at your recommendation, and it was amazing. I've also found a few other books because of your videos, so I really appreciate them - not only your fantastic recommendations, but also the cozy, autumnal atmosphere of these videos!
I actually just finished reading All That Consumes Us today (it's definitely a new favorite for me, I loved it) and I even thought of how I could easily imagine that book in one of your videos and now I opened UA-cam just to see it in the thumbnail of your video!😂
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed In These Hallowed Halls - I can't wait to read it soon! If We Were Villains is my favorite book so I will also be picking it up because of M.L. Rio hahah
Thanks for your videos, and I hope you're having a beautiful fall🍂
It's always so nice to catch up with a fellow book lover who has a similar taste in books 🤗❤️ I'm glad to hear you enjoyed "All the Dead lie down"! And "All that consumes us" is definitely a new favourite for me too, it really had exactly the atmosphere and feeling I want from a good dark academia/gothic book 🖤👻
Thanks for the recommendation of "If we were villians", I had it on my wish list and have now taken your comment as an incentive to order it 😁📚
@amomentofwonder Yes, I completely agree!😌
I'm so glad to hear that you're going to read If We Were Villains - it has the perfect dark academia/autumnal atmosphere and allows you to do a lot of reading between the lines, which I personally love! I really hope you'll enjoy it!😊
I didn't know there was a new Juneau Black book out! Your desserts looked amazing 🧡
I also only saw it by chance - somehow I had thought the series was finished, but was of course all the happier that I was wrong 📚🦊🍁 It really was a wonderful addition!
Hello, dear! Your videos are always magic and magic! And also inspiration and beauty! Thank you for that!❤
Thank you so much Tati 🤗❤️
This series brings me so much joy and peace. I love it!
Hearing that makes me very happy, thank you 🤗❤️
Mal wieder ein sehr schönes Video und sehr inspirierend. Es mach Lust auf mehr ❤
🤗😘🥰
This video is the perfect gateway into the dark and mysterious world of Dark Academia! 📚✨ I love how you've chosen a range of stories, from haunting mysteries to spellbinding tales, that captures the depth and variety of this genre. Dark Academia has a way of drawing readers into its shadowy halls and complex characters, making it so hard to put these books down. Can't wait to dive into your recommendations for the ultimate cozy, chilly-night reads! 🍁☕
Wonderful book reviews, gorgeous treats, and divine music!
Thank you Dear, happy to hear you enjoyed the video 🤗❤️📚
I'm in love with all your videos ❤ Your kitchen is a dream. 😍
Awww, thank you Lili 🤗❤️ Have a lovely day my Dear!
So beautiful as per usual! The colours in this are so relaxing and the food hehe, so yummy! Such a unique channel, I know you'll get to the millions! 🥰
I’m a fan of Brews & Books 🧡. Such a unique concept, I love it 😘.
Thank you very very much 🤗❤️
Thank you for such a comfy video. So soothing .
It is my pleasure, i'm happy to hear the video brought you some comefort and coziness 🤗🫖📚
Your vest is absolutely lovely together with the belt! You inspired me to bake! 💕💕
Hello, Nessa! I'm so glad that I've found your channel! It's so good and relaxing! I am a book liver too, so thank you for sharing those titles with us. I haven't read any of them yet. All the best, greetings from your new subscriber from Prague 💛💛💛
I’ve been meaning to read a Juneau Black mystery for a while now…..I think this is my sign to finally do so! I love this video, as always. Happy Halloween week! 🍂🎃🕷️🍄🟫
Oh, in that case you are in for a treat! The Juneau Black books are really quite wonderful cosy mysteries. I once read they were "like Beatrix Potter's books, only for adults" and the comparison is really apt. I enjoyed them immensely! 🦊🍁📚
@@amomentofwonder Yay! It is wonderful to have good books to look forward to. 🙂💕
I like your channel. It's very unique and the book recommendations are great. ☕
Aw, I am reading Twilight Falls right now and look forward to Summers End in time. It is such a great series. I have loved all the books so much.
I couldn't agree more, I also really enjoyed the series ❤️📚 Summers End is perhaps a touch less cosy as it's not set in homely Shady Hollow, but it had the best "who done it?" of all the books in my opinion. I can't wait to hear how you like it 🤗
@@amomentofwonder Oh that is so good to know! Thanks.
My favorite videos. I look forward to everyone.
Thank you, that's so sweet of you 🤗
Looove your videos!!♥♥♥
Thaaaaank you 🤗❤️
With the beautiful things you create amazing video dear ❤️ love All the goodie’s and teapots ❤❤❤
Love your outfit 😍
Have a wonderful day dear!!
Wake up babe, Brews & Books is open today, I wanna get a good spot by the fire
Hahaha 😂❤️ "We have to hurry, otherwise all the good teapots will be gone!" 😉🫖
Always enjoy your videos and when you get a chance would love to see the great and drink you served listed with each titled 😊
Oh you're right, I meant to do that but forgot 😵💫 I'll make sure to add a small description of the treats and deinks to the next video 🫖🥧
@ 💖🫖☕️🍩🍪🧁🍰 Thank you!
So many wonderful books to add to my list! Thank you!❤ XxxRichalyn
Always a pleasure to help your TBR grow my dear 😉📚
I wish this place was real ❤ I love these videos so much h
I wish that too 📚🥧🫖 who knows, maybe one day it will be real 😁
Oooh Im so happy you made a D A video, with many fantasy books as well! 😍 have you read M L Mios If we where Villains? Its the only D A without magic that I've read. And then I read Babel 😍 So i have a lot of catching up to do! I have A Deadly Education trilogy waiting for me, and The Secret History as well.
Hello! I'm a recent admirer of your channel ❤ May I ask where I could find the mug you featured during A Lesson in Vengeance?
Of course you may ask, I always like to share my "sources" with you if I can 🤗 Unfortunately I bought this mug in our local TK Maxx, and there is no reference to the manufacturer on it 🫤 I'm sorry!
A Lesson in Vengeance is on my fall tbr, but I’m a bit scared because I don’t really enjoy books that get super dark in terms of violence. It sounds really good though
Oh, that is indeed a dilemma 🤔
It's a really good book, but there are definitely some dark and also violent parts in it. Have you checked out Victoria Lee's website yet? She has spoiler free trigger/content warnings for her books there. Maybe that will help you decide if the book might suit your taste? 🤗📚

I have to ask, you prepare all these delightful teas and sweets, there must be leftovers galore - Who eats all of it?
What Christof and I don't eat ourselves, he takes to work the next day 🥧 He works in a large company and has lots of colleagues who are hungry for pastries and treats, so there are always just crumbs left at the end of the day 😉👍
Ans I usually add fruit to the tea and turn it into iced tea 🤗
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
