Some of my favorite reading usually takes place in the fall… says a girl who also loves reading outside during the summer or by the fire and Christmas tree in the winter. I guess I usually just love reading during all seasons. BUT the fall is fun because it’s perfect for starting to get into some light fantasy, turn my mystery/thriller summer beach reads into something a little darker for the autumn, and start to think about my EOY/seasonal TBRs. There are more and more books coming out with obvious “fall vibes” since the success of The Pumpkin Spice Cafe last year and I’m here for it, especially when they promise Gilmore Girls settings (a show I strongly dislike but can appreciate the vibe of due to its Connecticut setting and small town). I’m struggling with a bit of a reading slump right now where I spent each night watching sports and scrolling on my phone instead, so this fall TBR is more like a “books I would love to read this fall but likely will not get to because I can’t focus on books to save my life.” Hopefully it helps me when I’m trying to figure out what I want to read next, and maybe it will even motivate me to get more shit done.

As always, I hope to read more in September but I can’t guarantee it… I always read less in my birthday month because I end up with a lot more plans and events to work around. Mood Reading I’ve been really struggling with not knowing what I’m in the mood to read and never reading things I actually think I want to read because the books are kind of long. I really hope to read a few short books (below) and at least one graphic novel to get ahead on my reading goal and feel less pressure. Review Copies   I decided to clear out some of the older review copies from my TBR – I definitely still want to read them but clearly won’t be doing it any time soon. I have a few coming up or recently published that I definitely want to […]
