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 2024 to-Read List.
Is it fall already? Where did the summer go? I did pretty well with my summer 2024 TBR list, with just one book still to read, and I’m including it in my fall reading plans. Other than that, my list this week includes an upcoming new release, books from my shelves, and one old favorite that’s become an annual reading tradition.
In the interest of not repeating myself, I’m not including any of the books already featured in my list of anticipated new releases for the 2nd half of 2024… but yes, I still intend to read all of those too!
My top 10 for fall are:
- Extinction by Douglas Preston: I haven’t read this type of science thriller in a while, and I think I’m up for it.
- A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny: My annual October reading tradition. Always a blast!
- D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding by Chencia C. Higgins: I needed an LGBTQ+ romance for a reading challenge, and this one came highly recommended.
- On Her Own by Lihi Lapid: A recent new release that sounded promising based on the reviews I’ve seen.
- A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston: My summer holdover — which I’ve been looking forward to, but just haven’t gotten around to reading yet.
- The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley: I love the sound of this book!
- One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: I think I have a reading block when it comes to this book… but I’m determined to finally get through it!
- The Wrong Lady Meets Lord Right by Suzanne Alain: The only upcoming new release on this list. This author’s books are always such fun!
- Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi: I feel like I’m the last person left who hasn’t read this book, and it’s about time to fix that.
- The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer: I love this author’s newest novel, The Lost Story, so I’m eager to read this one too.
What books are you most excited to read this fall? Do we have any in common?

Extinction looks interesting.
It’s not something I’d normally pick up, but an author I follow (who seems to have excellent book taste) recommended it!
Ministry of Time, for me, is one of those books that I enjoyed but also wished the author had explored a slightly different plot direction.
Interesting… can’t wait to read it and find out more!
Great list! I have had Wishing Game on my TBR for a bit. I hope you enjoy all of these!
Thank you! Really hoping to get to all of these!
Novel Love Story! I really enjoyed it, hope you do too!
Thanks! I loved Ashley Poston’s last two books, so I have high hopes!
The new Allain looks fun!
I really liked the last two by her that I read, so I’m looking forward to this one!
I was declined an arc 🤷♀️
I’ve heard so many good things about Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
Here is our <a href=”https://www.longandshortreviews.com/miscellaneous-musings/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-fall-2024-to-read-list/“>Top Ten Tuesday.</a>
So many people have recommended it to me!
Extinction is on my TBR as well! Not sure when I will get to it.
I borrowed it from the library — so either I read it in the next two weeks, or I’ll have to wait again!
I loved One Hundred Years of Solitude. And I also haven’t read Before the Coffee Gets Cold yet. You’re not the last!
The Wishing Game is on my fall want-to-read list, too! And Extinction looks really good. I really like Douglas Preston. Happy reading all of these. 😀
I think I’ve only read a non-fiction by Douglas Preston, but I remember it being really good! I hope we both get to The Wishing Game this fall!
Oh man, I hope 100 Years of Solitude works for you this time. I love that book. But don’t force it. I’ve come across many folks who just don’t get on with it.
I’ve read about half of it twice, but both times, real life happenings got in the way and I didn’t finish. I’d love to see it through!
The Wrong Lady Meets Lord Right looks entertaining. I hope you enjoy all these books and have a wonderful week.
Thank you! I hope you have some great reading coming up!
A Novel Love Story was a lot of fun, and I’ve heard lots of good things about The Ministry of Time. Looks like a fun list!
Thanks! I’m excited for A Novel Love Story — I loved her previous two books!
I really want to read A Night in the Lonesome October too!! Great list and I hope you have a fantastic season of reading!
I think this will be my 4th time reading A Night in the Lonesome October — it’s become such a fun annual event, and I love how there’s a chapter for each day of the month.
Oh wow, 4 times that’s definitely a glowing recommendation!! That’s cool seems like the perfect book to read in October then! 🙂
I haven’t read anything by the author yet but I really want to check out The Wishing Game sometime & I have the Ashley Poston book on my TBR as well, although not my immediate one as I own another book by her that I should really check out first 😂 good luck getting through 100 Years Of Solitude this time.
I really want to read Lady Macbeth & Ending Fire as both came out whilst I was buried in library books. I’d also love to finally read Daevabad trilogy in particular but there are dozens of books I’d love to get to soon.
I hope you have a wonderful fall.
And good luck with the TBR, I hope you find some new favourites. I thought I’d put that 🙈
Thank you! TBR lists are fun to get together… but also a reminder of how much reading I want to do and how many (many, many!) books I still want to try! I hope you have some great reading ahead this fall!
Very true. I have to remind myself that it’s not a to do list, just a list of options sometimes otherwise it can get overwhelming 😂 thank you.
ooh I really want to read before the coffee gets cold- hopefully in autumn if my reserve at the library comes in!
I’ve heard such good things about it! Although it feels a little daunting, now that there are several follow-up books too.
