The Best Books to Read in the Fall

September 9, 2019 by Meet Brenda 8 Comments

I’ve been really into fall this year, and I think it’s because temperatures still average about 90 degrees here every day. Being super into fall themes helps me feel like fall is actually here, even though it doesn’t feel like it where I am. Second, I walked into a mall last week (it was not even officially fall yet) and half of the stores were decorated for Christmas. There wasn’t even a Halloween decoration in sight. That is completely unacceptable to me. Fall deserves its time!

In honor of celebrating fall and rainy weather to the fullest, today, I thought I would share with you the books I believe are the best books to read in the fall. Let’s keep that fall spirit as alive as possible!

Love books? Love the fall? You won't want to miss this list of books I revisit every fall featuring the best books to read in the fall.

The Best Books to Read in the Fall

Harry Potter

It’s probably the back-to-school start and all the rain, but Harry Potter will forever mean fall to me. This year, I’m reading through Harry Potter with my kids, so I’m excited.

Something about adventures and revolution seems to go along in the fall. I’m not sure why The Hunger Games Trilogy reminds me of the fall, except perhaps because I first read it in the fall? At any rate, I love reading these books when it’s wet and cold outside.

The October Country is a short story collection by Ray Bradbury, with one story in particular titled “The October Country.” There is a pretty obvious connection to fall in this story.

Redwall is all about food, and if you have never read the books, they are worth it for the meal ideas alone. I always feel so hungry after reading Redwall. I love the food descriptions which sound like the perfect thing to serve on Thanksgiving.

A Series of Unfortunate Events is slightly spooky, which makes it perfect for fall weather. I’m excited and a little nervous for the new reboot arriving on Netflix soon.

Stories of magic and adventure remind me of fall. I think if I had to guess which time spirits would walk the earth, I would definitely pick fall. I guess out ancestors felt that way too, which is why Halloween exists! Get it all in Howl’s Moving Castle.

Smoke and Mirrors is a somewhat depressing short story collection by Neil Gaiman. When I read these stories, I feel like I am out in the mist somewhere with something spooky about to happen.

Love books? Love the fall? You won't want to miss this list of books I revisit every fall featuring the best books to read in the fall.The Gemma Doyle Trilogy

The deep primal way that magic is addressed in this series of books makes The Gemma Doyle Trilogy one of my favorite YA magic series. Although it has creeped me out on several occasions, the writing captures the spirit of a cold, English fall.

Love books? Love the fall? You won't want to miss this list of books I revisit every fall featuring the best books to read in the fall.The Lord of the Rings

What better way to celebrate fall weather than by curling up and reading epic adventures? After Harry Potter, I’ll probably have to tackle The Lord of the Rings series with my kids. It may be 10 years from now.

Love books? Love the fall? You won't want to miss this list of books I revisit every fall featuring the best books to read in the fall.The Time Traveler’s Wife

Time travel is weird, and The Time Traveler’s Wife is weirder. It appeals to my geeky science side and my love of magic and slightly depressing literature at the same time. This book belongs on any fall reading list.

Tell me, what are your favorite books to re-read in the fall? Or do you prefer to read new books every year?

Literary Junkies: October Book Fun

September 28, 2015 by Meet Brenda 3 Comments

Can you believe it is already time for another Literary Junkies link party? I can hardly believe that September is already over. On top of a crazy-busy October coming up, we just found out I was selected for a random business audit from the IRS, so I’ll be spending most of my October putting together all my business records into a pretty format when I’m not working or doing something every weekend (I’m going to Texas Book Fest on October 17 with Margaret Atwood!). Because of these things, I doubt I’ll have much time for reading in October.

But that is OK! I’ve read plenty in September.

1. What are you reading right now? Tell us about it.

I’ve been reading The Girl on the Train, which I found to be a very “meh” book. I really didn’t enjoy it at all, and I actually didn’t finish it. I don’t know if I ever will. I just didn’t like any of the characters, the way the story was going, or really anything about it. It is definitely the case of a book that just wasn’t a good fit for my personal taste.

Also read in September:

One Plus One

Me Before You

The Martian

All three of these books were worth the read. I particularly loved Me Before You (such drama!) and The Martian (best space novel I’ve read in years). One Plus One reminded me a little too much of Little Miss Sunshine for me to really enjoy, but it was still pretty fun.

2. If you were a writer, what kind of books would you write?

I know this easily because I’ve started two book series that are far, far from being completed, but I’ve had the idea for years. The first series is a middle grade adventure featuring two twin, redheaded sibling spies who help fight communism during the Red Scare era. The second series, and the one I started when I was in high school, is a series about a city named Tarth (yes, I know George RR Martin now has all rights to that name, I guess I should change the name if I ever publish). It is a adventure fantasy, probably YA, that explores the idea of if it is moral for individuals with magic ability to control individuals who do not have that ability.

3. Are there any favorite books you like to go back to when the weather starts cooling down?

I just wrote about this last week. You can see my full list here.
4. If you could have a chat with any author, past or present, who would it be and why?

Right now, I’m really loving everything Rainbow Rowell, so I think I would love to chat with her. She seems like an awesome person who could easily be my BFF under the right circumstances.

5. What book are you looking forward to reading this fall?

Do you love books? You won't want to miss the Literary Junkies link party featuring book loving bloggers. Find what to read next!

Well, Rainbow Rowell has a new one coming out. It’s the story that the main character was writing in Fangirl. I love stories within stories like that. I’m trying to see if I can get one of the color-your-own covers for it. 🙂

Literary Junkies: Falling in Love with Books Again

August 24, 2015 by Meet Brenda 6 Comments

It’s time for another Literary Junkies link up!

I love this virtual book club.

We always read such awesome books. if you’d like to join the club, come visit our Facebook group here!

On to this month’s reader’s questions!

It's fall, which means back to reading! Read why I'm falling in love with books again in this fun bookish post!

Falling in Love with Books Again

Find out a bit more about me and why I’m falling in love with books again in this month’s Literary Junkies questions.

It's fall, which means back to reading! Read why I'm falling in love with books again in this fun bookish post!What are you reading right now? Tell us about it.

Right now, I am reading a fun book that I have for a book tour coming up about a sort of romance/mystery that is just the thing to read in early September. I’m excited about it. There may even be a film in the works for it! It’s called Paris Time Capsule, if you are interested in reading it ahead of my review.

What books have you just picked up lately?It's fall, which means back to reading! Read why I'm falling in love with books again in this fun bookish post!

I’ve been picking up the new editions of Harry Potter to read with my daughter, who is finally old enough to appreciate them. We are basing all of our history this year on British History. It’s really just an excuse to read more Harry Potter, though.

Do you prefer to read one book at a time, or several at once?

I will read several books at a time, but I prefer to read them all at once. I just like living in one story for a while before moving on to another universe.

What makes you love a book?

I love books that are written well and capture the spirit of imagination. I’ll read things that are innovative and more classic themes, but I love beautiful writing and an engaging plot. You’ll always find me reading these kinds of books.

It's fall, which means back to reading! Read why I'm falling in love with books again in this fun bookish post!This one is totally random but Fall is just around the corner and we want to know…what’s your favorite cookbook?

My favorite cookbook purchase has to be The Redwall Cookbook. If you have ever read that children’s series, then you know how delicious all the food sounds! I really love the cookbook based on the recipes in the books. They are seasonally based, and it’s such fun! I tried making clotted cream apples from it once, and totally failed at the cream part, but the apples were quite tasty.

I’m curious about the cookbook question, too. What is your favorite cookbook?
