Top ten tuesday

This week’s theme is all about the books on our summer TBR!

Looking back at my Summer reading plan, I feel I went a little off-track. I read a lot this summer, just not too many from my planned book list. The only ones I read from my list were These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong and The Porpoise by Mark Haddon – both delightful. I am still on Violeta by Isabel Allende, which is nice, but has yet to get into the can’t stop reading stage.

Now prepping for my fall TBR and here goes!

My Fall Reading List
  1. The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor is part of my RIP reading challenge this year, and I am looking forward to a good dose of horror, maybe even paranormal?
  2. The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor – My librarian suggested this book when I checked out The Burning Girls. According to him, this is an even better book.
  3. A Sliver of Darkness by C.J. Tudor – Ten bone-chilling and mind-numbing short stories that was again recommended very highly. Yes, I will be on a C.J. Tudor streak this fall.
  4. Girl A by Abigail Dean – I have pushed this from my summer TBR into fall and maybe winter. I want to read this, but am worried it will be a bit too disturbing after three back-to-back horror books. Let’s see.
  5. The Cider House Rules by John Irving – This book has been sitting unread on my shelf for too long, and I am feeling a fat, leisurely, chunkster at the moment. I also loved the movie, and am hoping the book is better.
  6. Her Husband’s Mistake by Sheila O’Flanagan – Chick-lit to lighten up my reading a bit.
  7. The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi – I have heard rave reviews of this trilogy from my friends.
  8. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke – I put off reading this book for the longest time, because I was a little meh about her first book Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. But, Piranesi seems quite different in tone, and it is a short read. So, hopefully, this works for me.
  9. My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh – Just because I like the cover, and I also long for a year of extended hibernation.
  10. The Dutch House by Ann Patchett – I recently stumbled upon the audiobook that’s narrated by Tom Hanks. So, I might just probably listen to this book vs. reading it.

What books do you have on your fall TBR? Which books on my TBR would you recommend I read first? Any books you suggest I drop?

      hahaha! I know for me definitely, these lists are more like wishful thinking 🙂

      I just realized this book is so out of place among the rest on my list.

    I enjoyed Piranesi and The Dutch House, but I haven’t read any of the other books on your list. Piranesi is completely different to Jonathan Strange!
