When I first began working on this post, I couldn’t find anything that appealed to me.
There is a lot of gory horror as well as Christmas stories that are generally released in the autumn.
No offense to anyone who loves either of those genres, but I needed to look elsewhere to build my list this week.
Sometimes it pays off to dig deeper and keeps going. Here are some of the upcoming autumn books that have caught my eye.
I’m too much of a mood reader to commit to a specific reading schedule in most cases, but all of these do look interesting.
Thank you to Nicole @ BookWyrmKnits for doing this topic a week early and giving me two more titles to add to my list!
The City in Glass by Nghi Vo
Publication Date: October 1
Why I Want to Read It: This novella looks like a nice mixture of several different themes: adventure, romance, and fantasy.
The Black Hunger by Nicholas Pullen
Publication Date: October 8
Why I Want to Read It: The story looks scary but hopefully won’t be gory. Maybe it would be a good Halloween read?
What Does It Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella
Publication Date: October 8
Why I Want to Read It: I’ve never read her work before. After hearing about her life-threatening cancer diagnosis earlier this year, I’m wondering if I should give her work a try.
Masquerade by Mike Fu
Publication Date: October 29
Why I Want to Read It: My reading pile has been low on mysteries this year, and this one sounds interesting.
Publication Date: November 5
Why I Want to Read It: I’m very into cozy reads at the moment.
We Are All Ghosts in the Forest by Lorraine Wilson
Publication Date: November 7
Why I Want to Read It: 2020 sharply reduced my interest in post-apocalyptic stories, but I am slowly coming around to enjoying them again so long as there is no disease component to the plot. A world without the Internet would be so different.
The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso
Publication Date: November 19
Why I Want to Read It: The time travel and reality bending aspects of it sound cool. I also like the fact that the protagonist has a young child but is still able to go on adventures. Good for her!
It looks like this week’s list will be shorter than last week’s list was.
Look how many answers I came up with for this seasonal TBR post!
I own ebook copies of all of these titles, but there are so many incredible books out there that I have not yet managed to read anything from this list yet.
This is going to be one of those weeks when I give more than ten answers. It will help to make up for the weeks when I fall far short of that goal.
I still have a number of books from my 2023 seasonal TBR posts left to read.
I was originally thinking about discussing library books this week, but December is such a busy month for me that I needed to finish this post well in advance and therefore would probably have already read (or DNF) any library books I had on my radar when I wrote it by the time this goes live.
As I mentioned last week, winter is a time of year when I often get a lot of reading done.
We were already asked to share the books we were looking forward to in the second half of the year, so I’ll do my best not to have too many repeats for this post.
