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.

A Beeline to Murder - Meera Lester

4/5 ⭐ I was a little nervous when I started it that I wasn't going to like it because some of the dialogue is a bit much but I was pleasantly surprised! The setting was wonderfully designed and you felt like you were there in Las Flores, walking downtown and visiting the cute and quaint places Abby visits in her quest to solve the murder of French-Canadian pastry chef Jean-Louis Bonheur. She is aided by the victim's brother and her former colleagues in the police department to uncover the truth. And the victim's adorable and excitable dog, Sugar. I liked how the book was dotted with recipes for not only baked goodies but other things like doggie treats, chicken wraps and how to treat a bee sting. I wasn't the biggest fan of all the cheeky dialogue between Abby and her best friend Kat. Or when it was used elsewhere. There is an overabundance of nicknames used. It felt over the top and after a while it was annoying. But that was probably the only part I wasn't a fan o...

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...

Payback's a Witch - Lana Harper

5/5 ⭐ Filled with a fantastical description, feisty characters, and a devious plan concocted by three spurned witches, this book is hard to put down. I am notorious for being picky when it comes to fantasy and romance stories, so finding one that was a combination of both that I loved was thrilling. Emmy Harlow has finally returned home in order to fulfill a centuries-long tradition in her family. I don't know if it was just me but I could feel the struggles Emmy was facing from page one. Harper managed to make her feel alive and genuine, which I am coming to find appeals to me when reading. Emmy fled her hometown nearly 10 years earlier and the wounds are still hurting. She's a little lost, a little pissed, and a little in love. Her homecoming is something she struggles with throughout most of the main story. The longing for a home but not knowing if it is the place she grew up in, the magical and wonderful Thistle Grove. Or if it is magicless, solitary Chicago to which she fl...
