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. Since she can’t afford to live on her own in Manhattan, she takes a teaching job in a quaint town... Continue Reading →
My Plain Jane
My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows This will be short because there isn’t a lot that needs to be said. The Premise: A Jane Eyre retelling with a supernatural twist (aka ghost hunters). As an extra special detail, Charlotte Brontë was a character in the retelling of her own book. I...

Night Circus
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern The premise - A secret duel between two illusionists. They have been training for this competition since they were children. Little do they know, only one can make it out alive. And where would such a dual take place? Why yes, in a magical circus that arrives without warning... Continue Reading →
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 →
Fall Reading
Fall Reading There are a lot of great books coming out this fall. But sometimes new releases are a little scary because there aren’t enough reviews to read and judge if the book is likely a good fit for you. If you prefer to revisit some older books, visit a couple previous posts about some... 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 →
A Discovery of Witches
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness This is book #1 of The All Souls Trilogy. I read this series a few years ago, and was recently reminded of it when hearing someone suggest the series as their “go-to” Fall read. I remembered that I liked the books, but as I picked them up again,... Continue Reading →
A Secret History of Witches
A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan Tis the season of the witch, is it not? It seems witches have been a common theme in many of the books I’ve read this month, but since I like to choose my books based on the season, I suppose it’s not all too surprising. I find... Continue Reading →
