Autumn is finally here, my favourite time of year. I’ve decided to make a TBR post for this season as I have several books in mind that I definitely want to read over the next couple of months. I’m not sure I’ll get around to reading all of them, as I’m a big mood reader and I can easily get distracted by other books not on my TBR. Nonetheless, these are the books I want to read for autumn:
- Neverwhere – Neil Gaiman. I’ve been intrigued by this book for years now but as soon as I saw the special edition illustrated by Chris Riddell, my favourite artist, I knew I had to have it. I’ve been holding off on reading it until October as I thought it would be a good autumn read.
- Dracula – Bram Stoker. Of course everyone’s heard of Dracula, I thought October would be the perfect time to read a classic horror story with Halloween coming up.
- Bellman & Black – Diane Setterfield. I discovered Bellman & Black after finishing Setterfield’s latest book, Once Upon a River. I thought she had only written The Thirteenth Tale prior to her newest book, so it was a really pleasant surprise and perfect timing to read a ghost story for Halloween.
- Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo. I’ve wanted to read Six of Crows for years now, I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, it’s also part of my 2019 Reading Goals to read the Grishaverse. I’ve already read Shadow and Bone and I didn’t enjoy it much, but I think Six of Crows will be more my thing.
- The Testaments – Margaret Atwood. I’ve been on the fence about picking up The Testaments. The Handmaid’s Tale is one of my favourite books and when Atwood announced a sequel, I was very apprehensive as I feel some books just don’t need a sequel. I’ve decided to buy it anyway and I’m hoping I won’t be disappointed.
- The Priory of the Orange Tree – Samantha Shannon. The Priory of the Orange Tree has been on my TBR for a while now but I keep getting intimidated by how long it is, it’s definitely one of the biggest books I own. I’m determined to give it a try though.
- Caliban’s War – James S.A. Corey. This is the sequel to Leviathan Wakes, which I absolutely adored, and is on my list of sequels to read in 2019.
- A Gathering of Shadows – V.E. Schwab. Another book on my list of sequels to read this year. This has been on my TBR for a while now, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the story progresses.
- The Masked City – Genevieve Cogman. This is the sequel to The Invisible Library, which I read a few years ago now. I may have to re-read The Invisible Library first though, as it’s been a long time and I can’t remember everything that happens in the story.
