Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister This was an interesting one. If you love to read thrillers in Fall (like I do), I’m going to highly suggest you give this one a try. The Premise: As the book begins, Jen is home for the evening, waiting for her son to return from his night... Continue Reading →

Cackle
Cackle by Rachel Harrison This book feels a bit like a Halloween fairy tale, making it perfect for a Fall Read, at least in my book. The Premise: Annie is dumped by her longtime boyfriend.

First Frost
First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen It’s time for FALL READING!!! I love this time of year. It’s perfect for both light books with a hint of magical realism and creepy thriller/ crime books. This book is solidly in the first camp. This is a sequel to Garden Spells, but if you didn’t read it,... Continue Reading →
The Family Upstairs/The Family Remains
The Family Upstairs and The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell I read The Family Upstairs some time ago and now Lisa Jewell has released the sequel, The Family Remains. I reread the first book to remind myself of the story and then immediately picked up the second. Both are twisty domestic thrillers that kept me... Continue Reading →
The Lazy Genius Way
The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi I know it’s still summer, but I love some non-fiction/self-improvement reading as we move into Fall. I think it’s that whole back to school vibe that makes me want to learn something new or tackle a project to feel organized and efficient. The subtitle of this book says... Continue Reading →
Vanishing Edge
Vanishing Edge by Claire Kells I seem to be reading a bunch of crime thrillers recently and I really enjoyed this one because I love a good wilderness book…when the environment is almost a character itself. The Premise: Welcome to Sequoia National Park where ranger Hux happens upon an abandoned campsite…or should I say "glampsite". ... Continue Reading →
