I never get to celebrate fall here along the Texas Gulf Coast. No pumpkins. No cool breezes. Apples? Nope. No pretty fall leaves. Sigh.
Ah, but I can always lose myself in a wonderful fall book.
Some with a fall-ish vibe I've read...
Some I have thought about reading...but haven't read yet...and probably will never read...
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
Yes to The Secret history - any book set on a college or prep school actually has a pretty good fall feeling for me.
ReplyDeleteOoh nice picks! Mostly new to me ones but I did read The Enchanted Spellshop! The author was coming to my library so I thought why not? Plus I had read one of her YA thrillers so I decided to give it a shot. It was a cute softer read and was nice! I also read Dracula many moons ago! Ironically it was when there were hardly no other vampire books to read (at least in YA!)!
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to read some of these fallish books this fall or sometime soon!
Here's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
The Spell Shop looks intriguing. I cannot imagine fall without leaves and apples and frosty days.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, these books have a sort of fall wibe. I have read Tartt, the Brontës, Collins and Stoker. I will check out the others. I have not read anything by Bradbury (a shame) and har thinking about reading some of the classic sci-fi (Bradbury, Huxley, etc) soon. Babel is on my shelf already. I am also curious about Morgenstern, not having read anything by her.
ReplyDeleteI love the covers of Babel and really should read it sometime.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier.
I welcome any reason, whatever the season, to re-read Jane Eyre!
ReplyDeleteJane Eyre is definitely worth the read. I could never make it through Wuthering Heights. Hated it. lol. My TTT
ReplyDeleteIt's the same here as we are also influenced by the Gulf weather. Growing up there was an orchard and they made their own cider, had hay rides, and I loved going there.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the book 11/22/63 and the mini series was great as well.
11/2263 and Dracula are both on my "someday will read... probably..." TBR list 🤭 Great picks!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of The October Country. No pumpkins or apples? Darn. Here's my TTT: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2025/09/30/top-ten-tuesday-book-covers-with-fall-vibes/
ReplyDeleteGreat choices. It's similar here in Florida, no real Fall season. I do enjoy looking at all the covers though. I've been seeing The Pumpkin Spice Cafe and it looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI’ve read the three “thought about” books and I hope you get around to them some time.
ReplyDelete11/22/63 is my favorite King novel. It's largely historical fiction with a slight horror element that increases as the book wears on -- the horror coming from the idea that "History is Obdurant" and resists change, so the closer the main character gets to altering history, the more adversity he meets. The love story in it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIn many ways I wish I hadn't read Pumpkin Spice Cafe. And The Spellshop was a DNF for me.

The Night Circus definitely has a fall vibe; it's one of my favorite books. Maybe I'll revisit it this fall.
ReplyDeleteDracula and The Woman in White also give off fall vibes, though I haven't read either one yet. They're both on my "maybe I'll get to this someday" list. I need to read Babel; I started it, but set it aside and never got back to it. One of these days! I have read Jane Eyre, though I don't necessarily think of it as a fall book. I've read The Spellshop too, and I highly recommend it; it's light, cozy, and delightful. (More of a summery flavor to it, though.)
I haven't read any of these.
ReplyDeleteFunny about the Stephen King book about the day Kennedy was killed. I was just mulling over the idea of reading it as my One Big Book Challenge for next year. It is a toss up between it and Moby Dick.
ReplyDeleteWuthering Heights for the creepy moors and, of course, Dracula!! Good work. I didn't post this week.
