Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Books On My Fall 2019 TBR.
My list is partly upcoming new releases, and partly books that I already own and still need to get to. And somehow, I ended up with twelve, because I kept adding books without counting and then couldn’t decide which ones to drop!
So, here are my top dozen book for the next few months. (Click on any of the book cover images to see larger versions.)
- Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell: I’m so excited for the sequel to Carry On.
- A Very Scalzi Christmas by John Scalzi: I don’t usually go for Christmas collections, but I’m happy to make an exception for John Scalzi.
- The Toll by Neal Shusterman: The end of the Scythe trilogy comes out in November. I’m dying to see how the story wraps up.
- Ivory Apples by Lisa Goldstein: I’ve been wanting to give this author a try, and was delighted to get an ARC of her new book, to be published in late October.
- Laughter at the Academy by Seanan McGuire: A new Seanan McGuire novella! Need I say more?
- Rilla of Ingleside by L. M. Montgomery: I started the Anne of Green Gables series in January, and I have only this book left before I’m done! My goal is to finish before the end of 2019.
- The Blue Salt Road by Joanne M. Harris: A selkie story! I picked this up a couple of months ago, and need to get to it.
- Witchmark by C. L. Polk: Yet another book that I picked up a while ago and haven’t started yet. Sounds terrific. Maybe I’ll make this and other witchy stories a priority for October.
- Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik: I bought a hardcover as soon as it came out, and it’s been on my shelf ever since. Must. Read. Soon.
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid: Ditto. Shaking my head at myself for not reading this one yet — I’ve loved every other book by this author!
- Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal: I think my next series project will be reading the five books in the Glamourist Histories, starting with this one (which I read long ago, but have mostly forgotten. Need to re-read before tackling the rest!)
- A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny: I wrote a Shelf Control post about this book a few months ago. My plan is to read one chapter per night during the month of October, which I’ve heard is the way to go with this book. Sounds like fun!
What books are you most excited to read this fall? Please share your TTT link!
I still need to read the second Scythe book. Witchmark sounds great too.

The 2nd Scythe books ends on such a cliffhanger! I’ve been waiting for #3 ever since!
Rilla of Ingleside was a lovely story. I hope you like it.
My TTT.
I’m looking forward to it — I’ve really enjoyed reading the series this year.
I can’t wait for the toll! I hope you get to all of them!

Thanks — I hope so too! 🙂
I did the same thing with Spinning Silver. I still haven’t read it. Whoops.
Ha, yeah, whoops is right. And I really do want to read it! There just always seem to be other priorities.
I’ve heard good things about Seven Husbands!! I hope you like all the books on your TBR 😀
Thanks! I’m excited to read them all… now just need to make sure I stick to it!
Wayward Son is on mine too! Been waiting for what feels like forever.
I loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and definitely recommend it!
Here is my TTT
I have heard nothing but great things about Evelyn Hugo – can’t wait to finally read it! I’m so ready for Wayward Son. 🙂
This is a great mix of new and old books. Wayward Son!! Have fun reading😁
I’m just annoyed right now because I got an email confirming that Wayward Son was delivered today… but I’m out of town until Thursday night! Argh.
YES to Wayward Son and The Toll. I need to get my hands on those ASAP. I’ve heard good things about Evelyn Hugo, too. I hope you enjoy all these!
Thanks so much! I hope my library gets The Toll as soon as it comes out — I think I’m at the top of the holds list!
‘Spinning Silver’ is such a pretty book! I like looking at it xD even though I wasn’t a huge fan of the actual content 😉 hope you enjoy it more!
Thanks – I’m excited for it (I loved Uprooted), and I agree, the cover is amazing!
Rilla is such a lovely and compelling novel. One of my favorites in the Anne series! I read them all for the first time a few years ago and loved the experience. Hope you’re enjoying the full series this year 🙂
I’ve really enjoyed them all so far, although Rainbow Valley was probably my least favorite of the ones I’ve read. Looking forward to Rilla!
Great list! Spinning Silver is AMAZING – I hope you enjoy it! – and I need to get to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo really soon. 🙂
I’m excited about Spinning Silver — I loved Uprooted!
Great list – you’re going to be busy!
Yes! It’ll be a miracle if I get to all of these, but it’s nice to have something to aim for. 🙂
Great list 🙂 I really enjoyed Spinning Silver and hope you do too. I have a copy of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo too and can’t believe I haven’t read it yet as there have been so many great reviews for it.
Also, a Carry On sequel?! How did I miss this one? It’s definitely going on my endless TBR list 😀
Carry On was so much fun, and I just finished Wayward Son! I really hope she continues with these characters. 🙂
I am SO excited for The Toll. I think I check audible daily to see if the pre-order is finally available.
I’m already on my library hold list for The Toll. 🙂 Can’t wait to see my place in the list move up to the top.
