A Fall TBR
Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books on my Fall TBR. Fall is 3 months long. I have no idea. So my list will be books that would be good to read in the Fall. I don't want to tip my hand and say what will be on my October TBR, so if any of these books are on that list I won't mention it. Also, that TBR isn't complete anyway.
In the Fall I like to read spooky books around Halloween and more serious literature. Literary Fiction is perfect for a rainy Fall day. Certain types of non-fiction, such as books about books and true-crime, feel good for Fall. Darker mystery books and thrillers and fantasy are also possibilities.
Ok. Now, I've created the list, and honestly, every book on the list is a spooky October book. I could literally create a 10-book list for all three months of Fall. So anyway, here are 10 books that feel to me like they should be read in October.
