Today's topic is Top Ten Books on My TBR List for Fall. I noticed some blogs mainly listed books that will be released this fall that they want to read. I'm never that organized or caught up, so I went to my rather extensive TBR (to be read) bookcase. Yes, they almost fill up a whole bookcase now! And some have been there for a very long time, as you will see. These are the ones I most want to read next, though I'm sure I won't get to all of them this fall, allowing time for book group reads as well. (I stuck to just grown-up books here, but you can also read my Top Ten Kid/Teen Books on My TBR List over at Great Books for Kids and Teens.)
- The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley - I've wanted to read this for years and picked it up at Borders' clearance sale recently.
- Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich - a birthday gift - after all these long books this summer, I'm looking forward to a little fluffy fun!
- Peony in Love by Lisa See - my mother lent it to me years ago, but I've been hearing a lot about See's latest release and thought I should see what all the fuss is about.
- The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber - my husband says it was very good and has just finished another Gruber book - I need to catch up!
- Another Thing to Fall by Laura Lippman - another Borders find that I got for my husband.
- Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen - an intriguing memoir I can't wait to get to - maybe I can convince my book group to choose this one.
- The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz - another Borders clearance item - I've heard good things about this for years.
- Midwives by Chris Bohjalian - borrowed from my neighbor years ago - I really need to read it and return it!
- Pigs in Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver - another that's been on my shelf for ages - all my friends say it's great.
- The Lost Girls by Jennifer Baggett, Holly C. Corbett, and Amanda Pressner - a memoir about travel and friendship? I must read it!
I LOVE the Spellmans! I can't wait for more.
