Ten Books on my Fall TBR List
Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review.
I like to try to read a lot of different things, across genres, formats, and where I got them from. I am utterly terrible about sticking to a TBR each month because my moods change SO much. The only “required” reading I usually have to do is if I signed up for a blog tour, for my Book Buddies review, and for my real-life book club. I’ve wanted to find a TBR format that works for me so I can still have some kind of method to my madness and I’ve been lurking on Andi’s TBR methods for a while. I decided to try it for the rest of September and October. Here are some of the categories I came up with…
I tried to think of the books I genuinely want to read this fall, and what categories they may fall into. I don’t want to restrict myself too much so I did leave a freebie option or two. I filled this page with categories – 18 books – but I will most likely exceed that number between the rest of September and all of October. That gives me even more wiggle room! Now, some of the ideas for books I may read based on these categories…
Book Buddies | A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis
Graphic novel | Ms. Marvel graphic novel
ARC from BEA | Juniors by Kaui Hart Hemmings
Secret sister pick | After I Do by Taylor Jenkins
Library book | Magnolia by Kristi Cook
Retelling x 2 | Scarlet and Cress by Marissa Meyer
Blog tour book | Water on the Moon by Jean P. Moore
Backlist | The Martian by Andy Weir
Kindle eBook | Hollow City by Ransom Riggs
Once summertime is over, I’m usually ready to jump into more fantasy titles. You can definitely see the lack of contemporaries (comparatively!) on this potential TBR. I usually don’t read creepy books, but I have two on here that kind of go with the Halloween season. We’ll see!
LOVE that you are trying it out! Categories make it so much easier to be a mood reader!
And do we have the same Foxy Dori in Dragon Fruit? If so you have EXCELLENT taste. 😉
Yes I doooo! I love it!
Oh, Ms Marvel is fantastic! I hope you enjoy it. Same goes for Cress & Scarlet. I would love to reread those gain when Winter comes out.
I’m really excited – I’ve had Ms Marvel sitting around for a few months now.
Ms. Marvel is so good! I’ve only read Scarlet. I have to get to Cress some time soon, or at least before Winter comes out. I like how you chose the books you want to read. I just sort of compiled a list of books I’ve been wanting to read and some fantasy books. Great list!
Thank you 😀
The Martian is on my list too! I’m really hoping to get to it before the movie comes out. I’ve heard it’s so great!
I recommended it to my dad, based on book blogger reviews alone, and he read it right away. He liked it a lot and passed it along to me, so I’m definitely trying to read it before the movie so we can go!
I am a mood reader (especially based on the weather like you) and I very rarely follow my TBR as well, but maybe I will this time. lol I had a hard time only picking 10 books this week. Happy reading!
Thank you 😀
Great list. I really loved The Martian, much more than I thought I would. Scarlet and Cress are also great. Cress is my favorite in the Lunar Chronicles series. Here is my top ten list: http://www.bookbinges.blogspot.it/2015/09/top-ten-tuesday-fall-tbr.html
Good to know!
I’m impressed at how organized you are! Wow. And you’ve got a great list of books here. The whole Lunar Chronicles series is fabulous. I also liked A MADNESS SO DISCREET. It’s a good Halloween read 🙂 I’ll be reading HOLLOW CITY in the next month, too, in anticipation of reading/reviewing the newest book in the series.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Haha thank you!
The Martian is at the top of my TBR pile for fall as well! (Especially with the movie coming out. Starring Matt Damon AKA bae AKA I will make time to see this movie even if it is by myself, a poor and timeless college student.)
hahha Matt Damon is the best <3

Thanks!
AFTER I DO is my favorite novel from Taylor Jenkins Reid! It made me cry so, so much when I read it last year. And I totally approve of reading SCARLET and CRESS. That series is gold! And MAGNOLIA was super cute and fun!
Glad to hear it!!
