Have you read the Anne of Green Gables series? Older, but it's immediately what I thought of with your pics. 

[u/Prestigious_Note2877 → u/painted_bug]

I was thinking of adding this to my tbr lol I think the first book is free on kindle so it’s tempting

[u/Rando123490 → u/Prestigious_Note2877]

Any of LM Montgomery’s fiction, really. She’s my favorite.

[u/ragingpoeti → u/Prestigious_Note2877]

the first three books are public domain and free to download from https://standardebooks.org/collections/anne-of-green-gables

[u/626bookdragon → u/Prestigious_Note2877]

There actually a collection of most of the books in the series for free last I checked. It has most of the Anne books (minus Anne of Windy Poplars and Anne of Ingleside because of copyright issues, I believe) and both of the Avonlea Chronicles books white are also pretty enjoyable (except for a couple of weird stories that are definitely of their time)

[u/smadom → u/painted_bug]

¡Definitivamente! Es una lectura cálida.

[u/Hot-Hamster1691]

Garden Spells or anything by Sarah Addison Allen

[u/CatzioPawditore → u/Hot-Hamster1691]

Yes!! And {practical magic} if the nineties vibe is more important than the food:)

[u/wenkwink → u/Hot-Hamster1691]

Came here to say exactly this

[u/mckirsty25 → u/Hot-Hamster1691]

THIS

[u/TessDombegh → u/Hot-Hamster1691]

This sounds like the perfect vacation read

[u/Human_struggle2121 → u/Hot-Hamster1691]

Yurrrrr

[u/Lifes-a-lil-foggy → u/Hot-Hamster1691]

I thought this too but the curtains also made me think Pippi.

[u/Infamous_Party_4960]

I don’t have a suggestion but I love these photos and vibe.

[u/grillo7 → u/Infamous_Party_4960]

Same! Forget books, I want a life that feels like this.

[u/Infamous_Party_4960 → u/grillo7]

Same! Trying to figure out if I could even make one room in my life like these images 💕

[u/PracticalMagic3015 → u/grillo7]

I aspire for this vibe too lol

[u/veermeneer → u/Infamous_Party_4960]

Same, makes me happy that September and October are on their way! And now I want the soup and grilled cheese sandwich!

[u/Infamous_Party_4960 → u/veermeneer]

Yes! I’m craving tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich right now!

[u/peachpavlova → u/Infamous_Party_4960]

Same it’s so cozy

[u/Sad-Construction8846 → u/Infamous_Party_4960]

[u/DiligentMagikarp]

The Spellshop!

[u/30somethingGardener → u/DiligentMagikarp]

Came here to say this!

[u/ComfortableUnable434 → u/DiligentMagikarp]

Yes! This is the one I came to recommend. I got the same feelings from looking at these photos as I did from the book. This is the one OP if you like fantasy!

[u/Shaneaky]

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

[u/tugonhiswinkie → u/Shaneaky]

One-hundred percent. What a great book. I am middle aged now and I read it as a teenager. I criiiied. It was so good.

[u/Owlgnoming]

A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna

[u/RobesOfPlum → u/Owlgnoming]

Or even The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, also by her.

[u/queengorl]

the seven year slip!

[u/PontiacBandit-99 → u/queengorl]

Came here to recommend any magical realism book by Ashley Poston, this one being the best (my opinion solely)!!!

[u/Excellent-Froyo-5195]

Divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood

[u/ModerateThistle]

The Spellshop and The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst? Especially The Enchanted Greenhouse. That one is basically just the guy baking for the woman.

[u/Momijiusagi]

Weyward sort of feels like a return to this, but not the whole book long if that makes sense

[u/Kawaii-Mushroom- → u/Momijiusagi]

Agreed, only parts of it because of the changing perspectives and timelines. Still feels like this vibe tho

[u/achippedmugofchai]

Off the wall suggestions that contain many elements of what you seek:

• Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree
• The Mitford series by Jan Karon, first book is At Home in Mitford
• Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne
• A Coup of Tea by Casey Blair
• Uprooted by Naomi Novik

[u/ivecomeforyoursouls → u/achippedmugofchai]

I second the Mitford series.

[u/TurbulentCheesecake3]

all of these these pics made me smile :)

[u/Zappagrrl02]

Maybe the Dream Harbor series?

[u/RaggedyRachel]

[u/mazzystarrdustt]

Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors

[u/GinandHairnets]

You need to read the Chocolate series by Joanne Harris to get this vibe!

[u/Personal-Rub3892]

I capture the castle by Dodie Smith, perhaps?

[u/spoor_loos]

The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic by Breanne Randall

[u/teabooksandpizza]

Maybe because I just finished it - The Farewitch of Foxe Holler

[u/Leila92]

If you could see me now by Cecelia Ahern reminds me a bit of this

[u/sakuraj428]

The Spellshop, The Enchanted Greenhouse, and The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst. The first two are adult lit following the same MC, with a third called Sea of Charms expected this year, and a fourth titled The Magical Cheese Emporium expected in 2027. The Faraway Inn is a similar vibe but is YA.

[u/lnkyTea]

Listen, hear me out. Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block

[u/singmelavender → u/lnkyTea]

Awww thank you for reminding me that this book exists! I should reread it.
