It was difficult to narrow this list down to only ten books. There are so many great stories coming out this autumn that I ultimately decided to give this a Young Adult spin.

1.The Forest of Ghosts and Bones by Lisa Lueddecke
Publication Date: October 1
Why I Want to Read It: The idea of acid rain freaked me out a little when I was a kid. While I’m not sure if the rain in this world is quite like that, I’m curious to find out.
2. 
Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam
Publication Date: October 6
Why I Want to Read It: Unexpected blackouts are scary but also fascinating.
3. We Hear Voices by Evie Green
Publication Date:
Why I Want to Read It: It’s normal for a child to have an imaginary friend, but generally they aren’t as violent as this one. I have no idea where this blurb is going with this idea and hope it’s a creative one.
4. Sugar in Milk by Thrity Umrigar,
Publication Date: October 6
Why I Want to Read It: I haven’t read many picture books about immigration before. It will be cool to see how its written.
5. A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow by Laura Taylor Namey
Publication Date: October 6
Why I Want to Read It: I’ve often wondered what it would be like to work in, or better yet own, a bakery.
6. The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen
Publication Date: October 13
Why I Want to Read It: The protagonist’s love of fairy tales grabbed my attention immediately, and I only wanted to read it more after the blurb mentioned him having a secret.
7. My Heart Underwater by Laurel Flores Fantauzzo
Publication Date: October 20
Why I Want to Read It: This book covers so many topics I find interesting, from coming out to immigrating. I think it will be a great read.
8. Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett
Publication Date: November 17
Why I Want to Read It:
9. Patience & Esther: An Edwardian Romance by SW Searle
Publication Date: November 17
Why I Want to Read It: I rarely read romances, but this one looks good. It’s always interesting to see examples of how LGBT+ people lived in the past.
10. This Is Not a Ghost Story by Andrea Portes
Publication Date: November 17
Why I Want to Read It: There’s something about late autumn to late winter that makes me even more apt to read ghost stories than usual.
These all look lovely. I would especially like to read Sugar in Milk.
Thank you!
Omg, I haven’t heard of so many of these but Cuban Girl’s Guide and The Magic Fish look so so good 😍 Definitely going on my TBR lol. Great list, Lydia!
Thank you! Enjoy.
I haven’t heard of these, hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Thank you.
This is Not a Ghost Story is also on my list to read!!
Neat!
I know exactly what you mean. I had a hard time narrowing things down to ten books … which is why I ended up with twenty-two this week. Oops. But you have so many great reads listed here! I haven’t heard of The Magic Fish before, but I’m definitely checking it out.
Thanks! Hope you like it.
These are new to me. I hope you enjoy them. 🙂
Thank you!
The Magic Fish, caught my eye. Thanks for coming by.
You’re welcome.
Agreed, this time of year is when I am most likely to pick up a ghost story or spooky book. I have a few on my list this time also!
And I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who was freaked out by acid rain as a child. I’m glad we seem to have moved past that issue as a society. Hopefully we actually learned something from it.
Yes, for sure! My fingers are crossed that we have.
Great list! We Hear Voices sounds interesting.
So glad you think so. 🙂
This is Not a Ghost Story has me so curious! I need to go look that one up. I hope you enjoy all of these when you get to them!
Thank you!
This is Not a Ghost Story is so intriguing!
I know, right? 🙂
I have The Magic Fish ready to read as an e-arc. There was something about it that drew me to it too.
So cool!
I’ve heard AMAZING things about Patience & Esther and I’ve had my eye on it for ages.
I hope it’s as good as it sounds 🙂
Fingers crossed!
I imagine working in a bakery would be….fattening. 😀
I have to agree with you there. Ha!
Cuban Girl–interesting. I wonder if the popularity of Chanel Cleeton’s books has prompted that?
Could be! I really don’t know. 🙂
Oh, Sugar and Milk is so pretty! I hope you enjoy all of these. <3
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for sharing! These are all new to me. I hope you enjoy every one!
You’re welcome. Cheers!
I hope you will enjoy all of these!
Thank you.
A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow looks so cute!
I know, right? 🙂
I’m in love with these covers. Enjoy your reads!
Thank you.
Great list, hope you enjoy.
Thank you.
This is Not a Ghost Story and Patience and Esther are now on my TBR. Great list, as always! I love how you go for books I’ve never heard of!
Thanks a lot. Hope you like those books.
I’m not familiar with any of these, but some of them look really great! Can’t wait to hear more about them. Enjoy!
Thanks a lot.
Great list! We Hear Voices looks really good to me. 🙂
So glad you thought so! Thanks.
Great list – and also, thanks for visiting my list!
You’re quite welcome.
What a great fall reading list! I definitely found some books to look into further and hopefully add to my TBR! 😊
So glad to hear that!
I really like the way you organized this post. It makes sense why you have books on your list.
Thank you very much.
What a great bunch of books. I’m really excited for We Hear Voices and am now curious about This Is Not a Ghost Story. Enjoy your reading!

Patience & Esther looks adorable! I hadn’t heard of it, but I’m going to add it to my TBR.
Enjoy!

You’re quite welcome. Enjoy!
Oh, nice list! Patience & Esther catches my eye in particular. Hope you enjoy!
Awesome! Thanks, and you, too.
This time of year is always great for ghost stories!
Absolutely.
Neat list. Sugar in Milk, The Magic Fish, Patience & Esther, and This is Not a Ghost Story all caught my eye. I used to read more horror and ghost stories than I do now. Maybe I need to take another look. Perfect time of year for it.
Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.
You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy those books.
There are definitely a lot of good books coming out! Some of these look so good!
Thank you!
I’ve been hoping I’ll be able to get my hands on A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, but don’t think it’ll be squeezed in until after the new year.
I’m rooting for you! Hope you get it sooner than you think.
I love the look of A Cuban Girl’s Guide! Anything with tea is a yes from me
Cool!
Autumn is definitely a great time for ghost stories. Great list! Hope you enjoy them all.
Thank you!
I’m really looking forward to The Magic Fish. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. Enjoy.
Some of these look a little creepy, so I am going to have to look them up. I am ready to dive deep into scary reads. Happy reading!
Woohoo! Enjoy.
I’d like to check out #1 and #2 from your list.
Here’s my TTT list this week.
Cool! I hope you do.
I haven’t heard of any of these but the covers are great! Hope the stories are wonderful, too. Great list and thanks for visiting my TTT! 🙂
You’re welcome. Thanks for dropping by.
You’ve picked up some really interesting books. We Hear Voices sounds like a horror movie I’ve watched called Z (I’m really into good horror movies). I hope you enjoy all of the books whenever you end up reading them 🙂
Thanks for visiting my TTT.
You’re welcome.
Z sounds good!
I think you’ve got me with Sugar in Milk. I’m a sucker for children’s books but to hear that it’s also a story about immigration just makes my heart warm.
I hope you enjoy it!
I’m really looking forward to We Hear Voices and This is Not a Ghost Story. Sugar in Milk looks really beautiful, also!
Happy reading!
These are all new to me! But the ghost story really caught my eye.
Cool. 🙂
These are all new to me! I guess this is one of the reasons why I love TBR week!
Same here. 🙂
This is Not a Ghost Story sounds perfect for this time of year, hope you enjoy 🙂
Thank you!
The covers on your books always look so beautiful. I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun with all of them.
Happy Reading.
And thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.
Aww, thanks. And you’re welcome.
You’ve chosen some lovely titles, but a picture book about immigration caught my eye straightaway — I want that for my nephews AND my upcoming new nephew too!
Awesome. I hope they and you enjoy it.
Nice list! Some intriguing looking covers there. Enjoy!
Thank you.
Patience & Esther: An Edwardian Romance looks really good!
I know, right? 🙂
I haven’t heard of any of these but I hope you love them when you get to them ♡
Thank you!
I want to read A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow too! You have some great books on your TBR.
Thanks. Hope you like it.
LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND is one I’ve been looking forward to as well. I hadn’t heard of THIS IS NOT A GHOST STORY before, but now I want to read that one, too. It’s still a million degrees here in Arizona – the perfect time for a chilly read 🙂
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Happy TTT to you as well! Hope you enjoy those books.
Looks like a really diverse mixture of books you have lined up. Happy autumn/fall reading! 😃
Thank you!
All of these covers are so gorgeous! Hope you enjoy all of these 🙂
Aww, thanks.
I love the cover of the first one! Something about it…
It’s pretty amazing for sure.
This is Not a Ghost Story is one I’m very curious about. I haven’t seen any reviews for it yet but I think it sounds like a great choice for a fall read.
I hope you like it!
The Cuban Girl’s Guide… sounds good. (I’m always down for a potential foodie book.) Acid rain freaked me out when I was a kid too. Nice list. Happy Fall!
Thanks. Glad I’m not alone there. Happy fall!
I just finished Leave the World Behind, it was certainly not what I was expecting!
Interesting! Can you say in what way without sharing spoilers?
This Is Not a Ghost Story sounds like a really interesting read, definitely appropriate for this time of year.
I totally agree with you there!
I hadn’t heard of any of these before but they sound really intriguing. I’m definitely adding them to my TBR 🙂
Hope you like them.
I need to add This Is Not a Ghost Story to my fall TBR. Great list!
Thank you. Hope you like that book!
I haven’t heard of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow! It sounds great.
I hope you’ll like it if you read it.
The Cuban Girl’s Guide is on my TBR list as well, just not for the immediate future. Too many other books on my backlist to get to before I read stuff that comes out this year.
Enjoy!
Ok, my tbr list just got ALOT longer because all of these sound AMAZING!!! 🤯😍 Also, if you like stories about owning bakeries, you should read Bloom by it’s sooo cute and it will definitely make you hungry with all the talk of pasteries and bread! 😁
Yay, I’m so glad!
I’ll see if I can find a copy of Bloom. Who wrote it?
your 2nd and 3rd picked piqued my interest. such lovely covers, too!
Aww, thanks!
