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.

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

Up All Night - Laura Silverman

4/5 ⭐   Thirteen short stories exploring what happens at night. A perfect summer read for when you're not ready to go to sleep just yet. This anthology features a wide variety of stories all focusing on high schoolers/young adults and certain events or predicaments that they must deal with. Added with the I am not the most familiar with anthologies but I did enjoy the variety and that they were diverse in their characters and representations. I think a lot of teens would enjoy this one. I do think that some stories were better than others, but that is just my opinion. Overall, I really enjoyed this anthology. Thanks to Algonquin Young Readers & NetGalley for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.  6/22/21 *This review was previously posted on my Google Site.

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
