Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
I have the full ten books this time, and I’m excited about all of them.
Brandy Norwood’s autobiography that I mentioned in one of my summer TBR posts has been pushed back to a March of 2026 release. I hope to feature it again on a winter or spring TBR list if the publication date remains more or less the same in several months.
There are a few Top Ten Tuesday bloggers who talked about some fabulous books I ended up adding to this list, so I will be thanking them today as well.
1. Seven Ways Through the Woods by Jenn Reese White
Thank you to Nicole @ BookWyrmKnits for this recommendation.
Why I’m Interested: I love picture books and the woods, so this is going to be a fun read for me.
2. The Macabre by Kosoko Jackson
Why I’m Interested: Two words for you all: cursed paintings. Such a scary topic as we slide into Halloween season.
3. Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood
Release Date: Today
Why I’m Interested: Chronic illness amidst a global pandemic sounds intense for sure…but you also don’t get to read about disabled characters in this setting very often. I’m intrigued and hoping this is fantastic.
4. Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy by Mary Roach
Thank you to AJ Sterkel for this recommendation.
Release Date: September 26
Why I’m Interested: I know a bit about organ transplants and cadaver skin being used to help heal burn victims but not about all of the other body parts that could be used to give the living better and longer lives. This could be quite interesting.
5. The Hunger We Pass Down by Jen Sookfong Lee
Release Date: September 30
Why I’m Interested: Yes, I know I may be repeating a few answers from this past summer, but this still sounds like such a good read. I love books that follow the same family through multiple generations.
6. Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
Release Date: October 7
Why I’m Interested: October is often a horror-heavy month for me because Halloween is my favourite holiday, but as I slowly drift away from (most) horror I’m finding other festive books to read. This one looks cute, especially given that I reread A Christmas Carol every December.
7. Female Fantasy by Iman Hariri-Kia
Release Date: October 14
Why I’m Interested: It looks silly and fun, and I mean that in the best possible way.
8. Slayers of Old by Jim C. Hines
Thank you to Annemieke @ A Dance With Books for this recommendation.
Release Date: October 21
Why I’m Interested: Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of my favourite shows back in the day. I’ve always wondered what a slayer (or other chosen one) does after they retire.
9. The Look by Michelle Obama
Release Date: November 4
Why I’m Interested: Fashion is generally a topic that doesn’t’ interest me at all, but I’m hoping Mrs. Obama might throw some more stories in with the photos of her various outfits over the years.
10. Book of Lives by Margaret Atwood
Release Date: November 4
Why I’m Interested: I know almost nothing about Ms. Atwood’s personal life but am curious to change that.
Hope you enjoy all of your Fall TBR hopefuls! I’ve been seeing B.K.’s books on many lists for a while now so perhaps I should take a closer look. 🙂
Thank you. Happy reading!
I liked how you gave us reasons for choosing each book.
Here’s a link to my TTT post

Thank you. 🙂
The Macabre looks good! Maybe not for me, but my wife loves creepy books…
Personally I don’t enjoy reading about fashion for its own sake (I couldn’t care less about wearing something fashionable myself, ahaha), but more for the way fashion reflects people and history. Here’s hoping the Michelle Obama book is like that!
Hope you enjoy all these!
Fingers crossed. And thanks.
I’m really looking forward to Slayers of Old too.
Cool!
Nice picks. The last two seem to be like good books. Have a good week.https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2025/09/23/top-ten-tuesday-2/
Thank you.
Good Spirits is also on my TBR! I’m very intrigued by The Look.
Here is my TTT: https://thissideofstoryland.blogspot.com/2025/09/top-ten-tuesday-fall-2025-tbr.html
Oh, cool! I hope you like The Look as well.
Oooh! A new Mary Roach!
I know, right? 🙂
Ooh, Female Fantasy *does* look like it’d be a lot of fun! I love the cover for Good Spirits so much as well. Happy reading and I hope you enjoy all of these, Lydia! 🍂
Thank you, Dini! I was just about to come over and comment on your post, too. 🙂
Slayers of Old! As a recent retiree, this one is a must read for me.
Awesome!
I’m so excited for Replaceable You! And the Margaret Atwood book, of course.
Woohoo!
If the inside of Seven Ways Through the Woods looks anything like the cover, you’re in for a treat. That is gorgeous artwork. Enjoy.
Thank you very much!
Slayers of Old sounds so interesting! I hope you’ll love all these books 🙂
If you’d like to visit, here’s my TTT: https://thebooklorefairyreads.wordpress.com/2025/09/22/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-fall-2025-to-read-list/
Thank you. 🙂
Your books all sound so good. I hope you enjoy them.
Thank you!
Buffy was one of my all-time favs, too! I’ll have to check out Slayers of Old! Hope you enjoy all on your Fall TBR!
Oh, awesome. I hope you enjoy that one.
I predict great reading ahead! Happy fall reading! 🍁
Heh, thanks, Carol.
Will There Ever Be Another You has been popping up in bookish newsletters for the last week or so. It sounds very interesting – I was going through some serious stuff during lockdown, so I might have to grab this one.
I hope you enjoy it!
I like the sound of Good Spirits! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Thank you.
Yay for having all of them!! Now I hope you enjoy ALL of them! Happy reading!
Thank you very much. 🙂
Slayers of Old looks so good!!
I know, right? 🙂
Good list! Anything with Michelle Obama gets my interest! Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood has a very cool cover! Enjoy!
We have similar tastes. 🙂
I think Slayers of Old sounds like so much fun! I read another book by Jim C. Hines and I enjoyed it. I also love the creepy can on the cover!
Here’s my TTT: https://darkshelfofwonders.com/top-ten-books-i-hope-to-read-this-fall/
Oh, cool. I’ll have to look up his other work.
I’m not a huge fan of Margaret Atwood, but I’m tempted to give her memoir a try. Enjoy your reads!
Thank you. Happy reading to you as well.
Those all sound very interesting. I hope you enjoy them. Happy Tuesday!
Thanks!
Happy reading all of these! 😀
Thank you!
Fashion doesn’t interest me much either but I will read pretty much anything that Michelle Obama releases.
Exactly. 🙂
Such a great list. Nice to see a holiday title in the mix. Hope you enjoy these.
Thank you. 🙂
I enjoyed the last book I read by Roach. I’d definitely read more from her and REPLACEABLE YOU sounds really interesting. A little gross, to be honest, but fascinating. I hope you enjoy it and all these others.
Happy TTT!

I had the same thoughts. Ha! Happy TTT.
I love stories about cursed paintings so The Macabre sounds really good to me!
Awesome. 🙂
Great titles, enjoy!

Thank you.
Really interesting in The Hunger We Pass Down as well. Hope you enjoy your TBR this fall.
Thank you. 🙂
Slayers of Old is one I’m really looking forward to, also! And I hope you enjoy Seven Ways Through the Woods. (I have to wait for my library to process their copies before I can read it, and I don’t know how long that will take. But I’m looking forward to it also!)
Happy TTT (on a Thursday)!
You’re welcome, Nicole. I was hoping you’d see that.
May you enjoy both of those books as well.
I’m very curious about Margaret Atwood as well, and the Mary Roach book too! I hope you enjoy all of these!
Thank you. Happy reading!
Interesting choices! I’d like to check out the Mary Roach book — I’ve read a few of her books in the past, and always find them entertaining. Hope you enjoy!
Thank you. Happy reading to you as well.
Aw awesome! I love it when bloggers share how they came across some books. I hope Slayers is going to be a great read.
Thank you very much. Fingers crossed.
