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.

One by One - Ruth Ware

3/5 ⭐ Possible Spoilers - Read with care Snowed in on the French Alps, a cozy chalet filled with execs from a social media company, and murder. What started as a intriguing murder mystery said to be inspired by one of the greatest mystery writers, quickly fell down the slopes the author wrote about. I had heard mixed reviews about Ruth Ware's novels, some said they were great, some said they were left disappointed. I thought it only fair to read one and see for myself. Unfortunately, I felt disappointed. This one was talked up a lot in it's homage to  Agatha Christie's arguably best work 'And Then There Were None' which is why I decided to start with this one. Maybe that was my fault. Maybe I should have started with another one. But this one also sounded the most interesting to me anyways. It started off strong, introducing the characters and setting. Building the suspense before the first crime took place. But between the flipping back and forth POV and the dragge...

The Family Plot - Megan Collins

  4/5 ⭐ A family brought up learning about everything through the lens of true crime. Murder, mayhem, and death are the Lighthouse family's close companions. I was looking forward to this book since reading the summary. I have a mild interest in true crime and was interested in seeing how this story would incorporate such a widely talked about topic. For some, true crime is overdone and saturates media. And if anything, I think Collins does a fantastic job of acknowledging that fact and takes on true crime in a new and unique fashion. We are immediately introduced to the main setting, Blackburn Island, home to a serial killer who was never caught and the home of the 4 Lighthouse children and their... peculiar parents. I thought that Collins did a good job with the characters introducing them one right after another without it feeling rushed or like we were missing something. If anything it felt as though we learned a lot about the family within just the first few chapters. Without ...

Such a Quiet Place - Megan Miranda

4/5 ⭐   Her conviction overturned, Ruby Fletcher has returned to Hollow's Edge putting everyone on edge. A suspenseful and thrilling mystery set in the idyllic community of Hollow's Edge where the residents have been plagued with bad luck and hidden secrets. The cracks are starting to widen as Ruby's presence frightens everyone around her. I felt that at the beginning it felt a little slow and it was hard to get into but eventually I couldn't put it down! I thought the inclusion of the Community Page messages was a nice breakup and also included something that everyone has probably had some experience with. It was definitely a slow burn mystery that made me question everything that happened. Who was telling the truth? Who was lying? What secrets were they keeping from one another? It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and is a perfect summer read. Thank you to NetGalley, Edelweiss+, and the publisher for my advanced review copy. Out on July 13, 2021. 6/7/21 ...
