Top Ten Books On My Fall TBR

I used to live in the north, but now here I am in North Carolina, eagerly anticipating sweater weather. But it will never come. Which is fine by me, I suppose, because I really do like warmer weather. Plus I know winter is coming and I don't want that yet.

Even though it doesn't feel like fall yet, I will pretend that it is. Here's my list of books that maybe I will read and get to these next couple of months!

I recently went to see David Arnold at Flyleaf Books, and I got my copy of Kids of Appetite signed! Every one of his books that I have are signed by him now, which is great because I consider him one of my favorite authors. So I will definitely be getting to Kids of Appetite at some point.

Holly has raved about The Female of the Species a ton, which means I will definitely be getting to it at some point. I feel like I've already mentioned this, but oh well.

Shannon absolutely loved Disruption, and I'm sure that I will too. I really am just putting all my faith in my buddies, because I do tend to do that.

I bought the box set, which includes Crooked Kingdom. And that comes tomorrow!

Ah Gemina. I'm still debating as to whether I should buy a finished copy or not. I should if I have the money for it! Or maybe wait until it's on sale somewhere haha.

I am very excited for Replica because it is such an interesting concept, to flip between chapters. How am I supposed to keep track of my reading via Goodreads though? How does that work haha.

Surprise! I actually really liked Magonia! Which is why I will definitely be picking up the sequel, Aerie!

And there's also Holding Up The Universe too, because honestly I think I would read anything by Jennifer Niven. I remember her coming to Rochester for the Rochester Teen Book Festival, and back then she wasn't super well known. That was a fun experience.

Iron Cast! I have no idea why I'm drawn to it. Again, Holly loved it and wants me to read it ASAP.

And I just had to pick up Timekeeper, how can you resist the plot line for this? Seriously check out that blurb!

Are you ready for fall? Apple picking? Pumpkin picking? Sweater weather? Presidential elections? (no)

"Are you ready for fall?" YES! It's my favorite - including those cozy sweaters. :)

Though I don't know much about Lauren Oliver's writing or books, "Replica" seems to be a popular novel. Plus as I remember, it does sound intriguing. Hope you enjoy your fall TBR!

I loved Disruption. And Corruption. Fantastic duology. I'm also excited about Holding Up the Universe and Gemina!
And I think I'm going to have to read a Leigh Bardago book one of these days! Happy reading!

GEMINA is on my list too, I've had it preordered for months and I'm dying to read it since ILLUMINAE was one of my top 3 favorite books last year. I really hope it can live up to expectations!

The blurb for TIMEKEEPER indeed sounds great, I'm always interested in stories that are set in the Victorian era and if they also mess up with time it's even better :D

The Leigh Bardugo books always look SO pretty but I'm not sure if I would like the stories, maybe I should just give them a try some day^^

Egad. I've got so much books I wouldn't know where to start. But yeah, there's at least 4 from your list I want to read too! Crooked, Holding Up, Kids of Appetite and Gemina (even though I haven't read Illuminae lol).

Thanks for sharing, Val!

I am so ready for Fall and actually started to wear longer sleeves, even if the weather doesn't agree with me, hahaha. I bought a small pumpkin for my appartment, so it definitely helped the mood. ;) I hope everything will turn out okay with the presidential elections for the U.S. In France, we only have ours next year and it's not as bad as for you guys (but we haven't seen the candidates yet), but with the attacks, it won't be funny either... :(
But anyway, let's talk about book, which is a happier topic! I'm so excited to read Crooked Kingdom and Gemina, just like you! :D

I highly suggest alternating chapters when reading Replica. Just the reading experience alone is fantastic. I enjoyed the book and I hope you enjoy it too!

Timekeeper sounds AMAZING I agree!! I have an eARC and should get to it asap because fjdkslad amazingness.😂 Also I'm reading Crooked Kingdom right now and SO HAPPY. Also we never have any sort of "fall" weather in Australia so I barely know what you are all on about hahha. I mean, we get Autumn, but it's mostly just like the weather goes slightly colder for a month and then BOOM. Winter. Australia doesn't mess about. *nods*
Also Disruption is amazing. Listen to Shannon. Because, see, Shannon listened to me. #WINNING

Ready for fall? Yes! Apple picking? Actually never done it before. Pumpkin picking? Yes! Sweater weather? Surprisingly, yes, so long as it's not winter sweaters, just fall sweaters. Presidential elections? Ha ha ha... definitely not.

Crooked Kingdom is on my list as well (and everyone's), and Disruption does sound interesting!

Gemina, Crooked Kingdom and Replica are three of my most anticipated books as well Val. :) Hopefully they meet our expectations! Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous choices!

So, definitely need to read Replica and Gemina and KOA. I bought Gemina (well, pre-ordered) because the graphics in the ARC weren't done, and frankly, I need the finished graphics. It was worth it to me I think? I also need to read like, every single other one of these. Except FotS, and Iron Cast which I am reading now. Oh and Aerie, because I always just say no to bird people. ALWAYS.

YES DISRUPTION. I haven't read it myself but it's OzYA, and Jessica Shirvington is incredible.

Crooked Kingdoms is very high on my tbr too because I adored Six of Crows. I haven't read All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven yet but I really want to, along with her latest release.

Lovely post! I am so happy I came by your blog!

I've never even thought about how you can update Goodreads while reading Replica! That IS a very good question, and I hope you find a way somehow (and enjoy the book because it's gooood). :D
