Top Ten Tuesday | Books On My Autumn 2025 Reading List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week you compile a list of ten books that coincide with that week’s theme. You can find everything you need to know about joining here!

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

Unlike years past, I have been pretty solidly tackling my TBR lists. I finished 9 of the books listed in my summer TBR, which means I can no longer do the easy thing and move books from one reading list to another. I need to sit down and actively plan my Autumn reading list.

And these are the books I have chosen.

1. All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriott – The fam and I have been watching and enjoying the Netflix series, so decided to start on the books.
2. All Things Bright and Beautiful by James Herriott – The second book in the series
3. An American Marriage by Tayari Jones – A book about racism and marriage. Sounds interesting!
4. The Break by Marian Keyes – Another book on marriage. This one is about a long-term couple undergoing a sort of midlife crisis.
5. Circe by Madeline Miller – I put this book on my TBR ever since I read and loved The Song of Achilles. I don’t know what happened, I guess I got distracted and this book dropped off my radar. Back it goes on my TBR now.
6. Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi – Another author who’s on this list because I loved her previous book.
7. Pandora’s Jar by Natalie Haynes: Greek myths always pull me in, and this book about women in these myths sounds very intriguing.
8. The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles – I never completed his more famous work – A Gentleman in Moscow, but I hope I will have more luck with The Lincoln Highway – a book about a road trip in 1950s America.
9. The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’ Farrell—I read Hamnet and loved it, even though it was quite gut-wrenching. I will be better prepared emotionally this time around with The Marriage Portrait, which also promises to be harrowing.
10. Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon – Set in Syracuse after the Peloponnesian War, this book will have all the Greek drama I need in my life.

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