Books On My Fall 2018 TBR

I made TBR lists for both spring and summer. Of the titles on my spring list, there are still 11 I haven't read, and from my summer list (which was much shorter), there are still 2 titles outstanding.  I have learned that I just can't stick to a list no matter how hard I try. But there are some books I'm already planning to read this fall, and that I'm pretty certain I will actually complete, so I'm going to go ahead and share those today for Top Ten Tuesday.

  • Honey for a Child's Heart by Gladys Hunt
    I have been on a binge of books about books. I have this and Honey for a Teen's Heart sitting on my desk, and I know I will get to them soon because I want to do a blog post about books of this type. 
  • Give Your Child the World by Jamie C. Martin
    This is another book about books that I want to include in the aforementioned blog post.
  • Barking with the Big Dogs: On Writing and Reading Books for Children by Natalie Babbitt
    Yet another book about books. This one comes out in November and I have an ARC from Edelweiss. 

  • X by Sue Grafton
    I need to read this because I'm doing an alphabet challenge and it's all I've got for the letter X. I basically have to read it this fall if I'm going to finish it by the end of the year! 
  • Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson
    I downloaded this for Kindle when it was on sale a few months ago and saw it pop on blogs a lot when Top Ten Tuesday focused on back to school a couple of weeks ago. A mystery set at a boarding school feels like the perfect fall read to me! 
  • The Figure in the Shadows and The Letter, the Witch, and the Ring by John Bellairs
    These are the sequels to The House with a Clock in its Walls. I've heard the third book is set around Christmastime, and I'm always looking for a seasonal read during December, so I'm going to try to finish book 2 between now and then so I can read book 3 when that holiday mood strikes.

  • The Hangman by Louise Penny
    This is a novella about Armand Gamache that isn't really connected to the series and was written for adults learning to read English. It appears to be November in the story, so it seems like it will be a good book to enjoy as the weather gets older. 
  • Deadly News by Jody Holford
    This is a new cozy mystery to be published at the end of October. I have an ARC from NetGalley. 
  • Know and Tell: The Art of Narration by Karen Glass
    I started this a few weeks ago, then got distracted by other books. It's one of a few homeschooling-related books I hope to get through in the next month or two. 
  • The Diva Haunts the House by Krista Davis
    I have a hard time finding Halloween-themed books that actually interest me, even though I always feel the need to read one when October comes around. I'm only just reading the first book of this series now, so I may go out of order just so I can read this one when it's seasonally appropriate. I just hope I snag a library copy before they all get checked out. 
What will you be reading this fall?

  1. My TBR lists are always so tentative these days because I am no good at sticking to lists.

  2. I wish Give Your Child the World had been published when my children were younger! They are all grown now :)

  3. Love this list! The Figure in the Shadows looks good though I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't even heard of The House with a Clock in its Walls until I saw the movie preview. Truly Devious looks great! It's on my TBR though it may be next fall that I get to it.
