Autumn TBR List

Happy Fall!

It is finally Fall and I could not be happier. The past two months have been really difficult with impossibly hot weather and working all the time. And because of how busy I have been I haven't read anything traditionally published in over a month... I haven't read a book since the middle of July. 

And I am desperate to read something. Without oversharing, things have been going on in the background that also impacted my ability and want to read and I am trying to push through that so here we are!

I saw a booktube video about an Autumn TBR list and I thought that would be a great idea for a post to welcome me back into the thick of things! 

Since I am mood reader and very much leaning into the autumn vibes I am going to build my TBR list around that and some ARCs I was fortunate enough to receive. I am looking for some easier, lighter reads in an attempt to ease myself into and not overwhelm my baby brain with something too intense. It's been over a month, I gotta ease myself in to it. 

TBR List:

  • Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey (ARC). This was very graciously sent to me by the publisher. It is a rom-com with total opposite leads, total lovable female lead and secret admirers. 
  • In The Company of Witches by Auralee Wallace. Cozy mystery featuring witches, a New England B&B, and more!
  • Back in a Spell by Lana Harper (ARC). The third in  The Witches of Thistle Grove series this time we get a sneak peak into the Blackmoore family.  
  • Over my Dead Body by Sweeney Boo. This is a YA graphic novel that I just really liked the cover and it fits the spooky autumn vibe. 
  • Shady Hollow by Juneau Black a cute cozy mystery where the cast of characters are all woodland animals. 
  • The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. 
  • Can't Spell Treason without Tea by Rebecca Thorne. This cozy fantasy was one I kept seeing on Tiktok and had to pick it up. 
I think for a start this is good. These are just some of the titles I want to read, but these ones are the ones with the most appeal to me currently. I think I will make a more spooky, horror focused one for October. Definitely with some Darcy Coates on it cause she is my favorite.  
Thanks so much for reading! Let me know what books you're looking forward to reading the Autumn season.

WWW Wednesday 6/22/22

  Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This is a meme hosted by Sam of  Taking on a World of Words . A fun midweek check-in where you answer three questions: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading?  What do you think you'll read next? Currently I am reading,  Ace  by Angela Chen. A book that I have had for about a year and am rereading it and finishing it. I am annotating it and having a lot of fun so far.  Also I picked up To Sleep in a Sea of Stars  by Christopher Paolini at the library earlier, but haven't started it just yet.  I missed last weeks WWW Wednesday post so I am combining last weeks and this weeks. It been a bit of a slow time for me. I have been reading more fic and such online than traditionally printed material. Also I have been struggling to find something that actually interests me. I have been getting bored rather quickly.  Recently, I finished Gamer + Cat  Vol. 1. It's a super cute slice of life and one I will definitely be looking o

Certain Dark Things - Silvia Moreno-Garcia

5/5 ⭐ A fresh take on the old classic, Silvia Moreno-Garcia manages to reimagine vampire lore into something completely unique. Take whatever previous notions you have of vampire stories and toss them out the window. She managed to introduce such an interesting take on vampires, ones that take on aspects from their cultures like Alt with ties to Aztec mythology and so on.  All of these subspecies of vampire builds on the richness of the world Moreno-Garcia created. Alt flees to Mexico City, a closed nation free from any vampire after her family is killed by a rival gang of Necro vampires(a deadly European subspecies of vampires). With only Cualli, her loyal and deadly dog, and a garbage boy named Domingo helping her, she has to flee both the Necros and human gangs who wish her dead.  Vampire gangs are definitely a new one for me. The characters come to life on the page within the excellent worldbuilding. You just get lost in the story, captivated until the very end.  The diversity of t

Over my Dead Body by Sweeney Boo

  5/5  ⭐ Found family, a magical boarding school, and a missing friend. A perfect combination in this spooky YA graphic novel. Plus the incredible artwork is not to be missed.  This is one that caught my eye as I kept passing in the teen department at one of the libraries I work at. I then read the little summary and was hooked.  This story follows Abby as she learns one morning that the closest person she has to family has disappeared and feels that the school isn't doing enough in the search for her. And so takes it upon herself to discover what secrets this school has been hiding for years.  Accompanied by friends and a mysterious story from the schools past, they learn that the off-limits woods hold more than they expect when a similar story of a missing students comes up.  This was such an atmospheric and gorgeous graphic novel. And perfect for those looking for a more gothic meets dark academia story for the season.  Plus the characters were well rounded and covered the spect
