I’ve been waiting for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic for ages! For some reason, a ton of authors I really like are releasing books this fall, so I had no problem coming up with my list. I may not actually read all the books this fall, but I’ll definitely get to them eventually! So here are the top ten fall releases on my TBR list, in the order of their release:
1. Seanan McGuire, Chimes at Midnight (September 3) — The seventh book in the October Daye series, which I recommend to anyone who likes urban fantasy. I’ve bought this already, and I plan to read it ASAP!
2. Jasper Fforde, Song of the Quarkbeast (September 3) — Confession: I haven’t actually read the first book in this series (The Last Dragonslayer) yet. But I love Fforde’s quirky, literate novels, and I’m sure the Chronicles of Kazam will be no exception!
3. Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl (September 10) — I have been waiting for this book for SO LONG! I’m #1 in the queue at my library, so I should be getting it any day, but the waiting is so hard!!!
4. Elizabeth Wein, Rose Under Fire (September 10) — YOU GUYS. I loved Code Name Verity so much, and now there’s another WWII novel by Elizabeth Wein! I’ve vowed not to read this until next year (long story; it involves challenges I’ll be doing), but it is going to be really hard to wait!
5. Maggie Stiefvater, The Dream Thieves (September 17) — I liked book #1 of this series and am very intrigued to see where things are going next! Also, The Scorpio Races was so effing good that I pretty much need to read everything Stiefvater writes immediately.
6. Robin McKinley, Shadows (September 26) — Finally, a new book from one of my all-time favorite authors!
7. Kristan Higgins, The Perfect Match (October 29) — I love Higgins’ charming contemporary romances, and this one is the second in a series that began with The Best Man, which I enjoyed quite a bit.
8. Rachel Bach, Fortune’s Pawn (November 5) — This author previously published the Eli Monpress series under the name Rachel Aaron, and I absolutely loved it! So I’m excited to check out her upcoming sci fi series, which sounds vaguely “Firefly”-ish, so how can it not be good?
9. Diane Setterfield, Bellman & Black (November 5) — You guys, did you KNOW Setterfield was finally coming out with another book?! It’s been far too long since the beautifully written The Thirteenth Tale came out.
10. Charles Finch, An Old Betrayal (November 12) — The next book in the Charles Lenox series, which I’m really enjoying.
What new/recent releases are you most excited about? Or what books are you planning to read this fall?
Bellman & Black also made my list this week xD Isn’t the cover for the novel gorgeous? Can’t wait to read it! π I hope to get around to Fangirl at some point, I love the premise and I’ve heard nothing but awesomeness about it π
My TTT
It’s a really great cover! I’m a little nervous about the book, since I liked The Thirteenth Tale so much…hopefully it will live up to expectations! Also, I definitely think you should read Fangirl and/or any Rainbow Rowell you can get your hands on, because she’s great!
I REALLY want to read rose under fire. Plan on getting to it early this winter maybe late this fall.
you can see my list here: http://caitstruelife.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-books-on-my-fall-2013-tbr-list/
I’m SO excited about it…even though I don’t plan to read it until 2014, I want to own it NOW!
Ahh great list! Just added most of this to my TBR π I have a feeling this week’s top 10 is going to fatten my TBR a lot.
That’s for sure! I’m looking forward to learning about some great new books/series!
I couldn’t get into the October Daye series but InCryptid was very cool. Here’s my TTT
Vilia @ Backchatting Books
I really need to start reading the InCryptid books! I’ve got Discount Armageddon on my shelves but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.
We have Quarkbeast and Fangirl in common! I just read Rose Under Fire, it’s very intense — but I won’t say more since you have to wait. I need to check out your #8 — anything Firefly-ish sounds worth a read. Enjoy your reading!
I hope Rose Under Fire was the good kind of intense! I fully expect to cry buckets while reading it…I definitely sobbed through the last 60 pages of Code Name Verity.
I JUST found out about Bellman & Black yesterday. Excited! Fangirl was one of those rare books I felt the need to buy & read release week and it did not disappoint!
I SO cannot wait for Fangirl! I’m really impatient with whoever currently has the library copy…they need to return it already!
