Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Fall 2025 to-Read List

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.
