Good heavens, I can't believe
autumn is upon us once again! I never used to like it but I'm
learning to love the colder weather (slowly, but surely) and I'm kind
of falling in love with sweaters and fireplaces and reading on rainy
days.
I don't know about you but
I've found my reading is very specific during the warmer seasons and
the colder ones. During summer and spring I pretty much read
contemporary all the time because BEACH! ROMANCE! CUTESY STUFF! It
just screams summer, you know? (or is that just me being
odd?) During autumn and winter I love reading
fantasy, dystopia and paranormal. With the sky dark, the rain pouring
and the wind howling it just seems right
to read genres where magic and mayhem unfolds. However, as I'm trying
to read more Netgalley/Edelweiss books – of which many are
contemporary – there will be some of that thrown in too!
My Autumn
TBR Pile:
1.The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey
I've
been wanting to read this book forever.
Why haven't I read it yet?! I mean, it's right there on my kindle. Also, PRETTY COVER IS PRETTY.
2. Never Never by Brianna Shrum
PETER PAN! I
love Peter Pan, methinks I'm going to like this one.
3. The Hollow Boy/The Creeping Shadow by Jonathan Stroud
I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T READ THE LATEST LOCKWOOD AND CO BOOKS. I'm getting them to review shortly and I'm so excited because they're deliciously creepy with their ghosts and hauntings but they also have amazing characters, the writing is fabulous and the plots are generally excellent. The perfect halloween read!
4. Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige
Escapes from
mental institutions, Snow White, romance...IT SOUNDS SO GOOD. However, I've read quite a few negative reviews but hopefully I'll love it!
5. Frostblood by Elly Blake
This
fantasy sounds epic,
I must say. It's been getting pretty good reviews as well which is
always good!
6. I Am the Traitor by Allen Zadoff
THIS TRILOGY IS
FANTASTIC. ANTI-HEROES, ASSASSINS AND DRY HUMOR. WHAT'S NOT
TO LOVE?!
7. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
7. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Everyone
has read this but
me, I swear. I WILL get to this series this autumn – I hope I love
it as much as everyone else seems to!
8. More of Me by
Katheryn Evans
This
book sounds so
intriguing. It sounds quite eerie and poignant and AH, why haven't I
read it yet?!
9. They Call Me Alexandra Gastone by T.A. Maclagan
CIA?! FALSE
IDENTITIES?! SPY MISSIONS?! YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
10 . Charlie,Presumed Dead by Anne Heltzel
As
you probably know by now, I never
read thrillers/murder mysteries but this sounds so
good.
Have you read any of these? Which book do you recommend I read first? What books are on YOUR autumn TBR pile?! LET'S TALK.
