There are so many fantastic books coming out this month! I love to cozy up with a warm beverage, watch the leaves fall, and enjoy a good book. A spooky and atmospheric read is also appreciated this month as well. Here are the books that are on my nightstand this month.
YA Fiction:
The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand - I adore Cynthia Hand. I think she is such a talented author and I am excited to check out her twist on the classic A Christmas Carol.
Wild Beauty by Ann-Marie McLemore - I am not sure this book is for me, but I adore the cover. I have been a bit of a mood reader lately, so I will have to be in the mood to pick up this new title. It's being described as falling under the umbrella of magical realism and I hear the writing is beautiful!
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas - I didn't get to this book last month, so I most definitely want to make time to read this important and moving novel! I've heard such great things about it and I hear it is being made into a movie already!
Adult Fiction:
An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon - I am listening to this audio book and it will probably take me forever till January to finish it, but I still want start it this month. Anyone else an Outlander fan?
The One That Got Away by Melissa Pimentel - I meant to read this book last month, so I definitely plan on checking it out this October. I love a good Jane Austen retelling.
I Found You by Lisa Jewell - This was a "beach read" that I didn't get to this summer. I am looking for something a bit atmospheric, mysterious and thrilling to read this October; I'd say this fits the bill.
Have you read any of these books? Are they on my TBR list? What do you plan to read this month?
I read Wild Beauty in June and just loved it. So beautiful and magical and great story of family and love too. I hope to get to Holly Chase this month as well. It sounds fun. Hopefully the premise is executed well. The One that Got Away looks really good. I have not read any Austen, but I love a good second chance romance.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that the writing is just stunning...excited to check it out! Thanks for the feedback, Sam!
DeleteI'm really looking forward to Holly Chase. I read The One That Got Away a little while ago, and it was good. I'm a fan of the Outlander books, but yeah, they take a really long time to read!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear The One That Got Away is enjoyable. Must make time for it this month! Thanks for visiting, Angela.
DeleteI read "I Found You" and thought it was good, but not outstanding. It is a bit mysterious and creepy, the writing is solid, but the plot line was a bit far-fetched.
ReplyDeleteAhh...good to know! I thought it seemed like a fun/suspenseful beach read....going to give it a try! Thanks for the feedback!
DeleteI have all 3 of those YA books on my TBR. They all sounds so good! I hope you end up enjoying them all
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you do as well, Julie. Thanks for stopping by.
