It’s Tuesday once again and fall has officially started. It therefore is time to set our seasonal TBR for fall 2025. As well as I’m doing on my monthly TBR’s lately, I often fall behind on the seasonal ones. I’d rather call this fall TBR my fall 2025 hopefuls instead. Without further ado, let’s take a look!
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
- Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater – This is the third novel in the “The Raven Cycle” series and whereas I quite enjoyed The Raven Boys and find The Dream Thieves rather vague, I still want to give this book a try. I read the previous one in spring, so let’s see if the fall season works better for this series and its vibe.
- Arcana Academy by Elise Kova – I hear nothing but good stuff about this book, so I have to see for myself. It’s on my September TBR actually.
- The Wind Weaver by Julie Johnson – The hype seemed to have fizzled out already, but I still am curious for this romantasy. Another book that is on my TBR for this month.
- Swift and Saddled by Lyla Sage – Last fall I read Done and Dusted and although I wasn’t the biggest fan, I still want to give this series another chance before deciding whether to continue or not.
- Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad – I’m afraid I won’t be able to pick up this book in September, even though it’s on my possibility pile. This will definitely be pushed back to October, so definitely a fall pick.
- Finding My Way by Malala Yousafzai – I hardly read nonfiction, but it has been over ten years since I have read I Am Malala and five or so years since I have read We Are Displaced. I’m curious for Malala’s new memoirs as a grown-up. This probably won’t get a review as I don’t review nonfiction on this blog.
- Twisted Lies by Ana Huang – This book is long overdue and actually doesn’t pique my interest anymore, but I want to finish it for the sake of finishing this series.
- Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa – This book has been mentioned on so many lists over the past few months, that I actually have to read it.
- The Wren in the Holly Library by K.A. Linde – A leftover from fall 2024. Admittedly, I’m not that curious anymore as I wonder if this book would be the right fit for me. Honestly, I have this feeling about a lot of books I acquired last year or even earlier this year. Another shift in my reading preferences?
- Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree – Will this be the season I give this book another try, or will I ignore it once again? Let’s wait and see!
What books do you hope to read this fall? Are any of mine also piquing your curiosity?
