According to new data from Google Trends, search interest in “cozy books” is at an all-time high, and searches for “fall romance books” have increased by more than 400%.
That gave us an idea. Grab your cozy, fall-themed read (we suggest stocking up at this weekend’s Southern Festival of Books) and head to one of the comfiest spots to turn pages in Nashville:
Settle in at Funny Library inside Virgin Hotels Nashville, where natural light + colorful decor make for an inviting spot to linger, or sink into the Graduate Hotel’s patterned couches with Poindexter coffee in hand.
When the leaves finally turn, head to Centennial Park to read under canopies of bright yellow leaves — just make note of the areas closed for construction.
Editor Dylan’s pick is Americano Lounge for its cozy nooks and late hours.

Last night’s Thursday Night Football matchup was only the second game in NFL history to feature two quarterbacks over the age of 40. Maybe those professional athlete dreams are still alive. A local adult rec league could be your first stop en route to the Hall of Fame. (ESPN)
A few readers got specific with their picks. Arthur Smith and Mike McCarthy — both names floating around in national coaching speculation — appeared multiple times. Others looked to the past with a nod to former Titans HC Jeff Fisher, while a handful of fans threw in Nick Saban for good measure.
