Free, Downloadable Digital Bookish Backgrounds + Desktop Wallpapers for Fall 2025
Happy Fall, book lovers! Your favorite quarterly bookish digital wallpapers are here. For all of us who have been hibernating and waiting for Fantasy Fall all year, your time is now. It’s hard for me to think ‘cozy thoughts’ when it was 85 degrees here in SF this week, but I know it’s starting to cool off elsewhere, and the leaves are starting to look so beautiful in shades of red, orange, and golden. And that means sweater weather and the yummy fragrant drinks we only get to enjoy this time of the year (spiced cider is 1000x better than pumpkin spice—I said what I said). Plus, immerse ourselves in our favorite fictional worlds. BTW, if you haven’t joined the free Fantasy Fall Reading Challenge, you absolutely should! There are 9 prompts, free social templates, a Discord chat, and you can even track it on Storygraph.
Lots of moody options this quarter, so you can pick your vibe and match your desktop to you mood, whether you’re a writer or reader. And of course, as a millennial, I love a good ‘sad beige’ moment. But there’s a sprinkle of muted green too!
Hope one or more of these captures your eye, and spruces up your desktop for fall! Grab one or all of them for FREE below and enjoy a fresh desktop background for the season, and don’t forget to let me know which ones you loved best on social or in our Discord community—I love to see where they end up around the world:
