10 Books You Should Absolutely Read this Fall

Fall is the perfect time of year to read, if you ask me. The air is getting cooler and crisp outside, and you’re probably breaking out some logs for the fire place. Maybe you’re taking a couple last-minute end-of-season camping trips or are just curling up in bed a little earlier as the days begin to shorten. Either way, is there anything better than reading during this time of year?

Since I’m not close to my 52 book resolution, I decided to go with a slightly smaller goal of 10 books this fall. I managed to read 10 books over the summer fairly easy so I think it will be manageable with the added responsibilities like college in the coming fall. So, let’s peek into my reading list!

10 Books You Should Absolutely Read this Fall:

1. Pumpkin Heads by Rainbow Powell

Unpopular opinion alert: I wasn’t a fan of Eleanor & Park or Fangirl. However, I believe in third chances! I love the covers of Rainbow Powell’s books and although I know you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, they really do attract me to her books. I have never read a graphic novel so that will be exciting. Also, how perfect is the premise for fall?! This book is about two teen’s last night working together at a pumpkin patch. You can’t get any more fall than that.

You can snag this book here on Amazon.

2. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

After researching the ‘scariest’ books written, I found this gem. I promptly put this book on hold at my local library THREE months ago. I am still a couple people behind in the queue, however I will probably be first in line in October. What better time to read a book about a more-or-less haunted house in which a couples two children have disappeared in? Goodreads, along with many reviewers describe this book as “terrifying” so I can’t wait to see if it lives up to its reputation.

If you don’t want to wait four months to get this book at the library, you can get it here on Amazon!

3. The Nanny by Gilly Macmillan

This book is a thriller through and through. I personally love thrillers! This book in particular is about a nanny who seemingly disappears in the summer of 1988. 30 years later, the girl she had watched returns to the house and human remains are found in the lake. Now she is piecing together who her nanny really was and what may have happened to her.

4. The Institute by Stephen King

I recently finished reading my first Stephen King book. Since he is basically the king of horror, what better time to start the next than in fall? The Institute is about a facility that houses kids with extranormal gifts. It comes out on September 10th.

5. Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

I don’t typically read fantasy, which this book is shelved as. However, I’m wanting to give this one a chance. Ninth House follows Alex, who seemingly threw her life away. She is offered a second chance when she is the sole survivor of a unsolved multiple homicide and is given a full ride Yale. Although, not everything is as it seems.

6. The Rhythm Section by Mark Burnell

I am very excited to read this book because a movie based on the book is being released November 22nd with Blake Lively (who I adore)! The Rhythm Section follows a women who goes on a revenge mission after a plane crash kills her family.

7. Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky

Imaginary friends are something I’m very interested in. They’re slightly creepy and I myself had an imaginary friend when I was young. It baffles me that kids can come up with elaborate and slightly morbid backstories revolving around their new ‘friend’. Imaginary Friend (written by the author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower) sounds like this from the title. The description describes it as the young boy, Christopher, disappearing in the woods for six days only to return with a voice in his head. Still eerie, and I’m curious as to where the story will go.

8. Violet by Scott Thomas

Keeping up with the imaginary friend theme, this one was released last year. Violet begins in the summer of 1988 when Kris Barlow says goodbye to her dying mother. Three decades later her husband is killed in a car accident and she returns to the lake she lived when she was a kid with her 8 year old daughter. However, someone is awaiting her return.

9. The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn

This book has been turned into a movie which is being released on October 4th. This first caught my eye last year, but I never got around to reading it. The Woman in the Window follows an agoraphobic New Yorker who spends her time watching her neighbors and then sees something she shouldn’t.

The WOman in the Window by AJ Finn

You can find this book here on Amazon.

10. The Whisper Man by Alex North

A serial killer luring his victims out of their house by whispering out of their window and a town with a dark past? It sounds so creepy. I’m putting it on my to-read list for this fall!

Making it a 2021 goal to thrive as much as my plan Making it a 2021 goal to thrive as much as my plants are 🌿

Last quarter I kind of let my self-care fly out the window. I did school work 24/7! Then when I wasn’t I would spend countless hours endlessly scrolling on social media. I feel pretty good about this first *almost* two weeks of the year. I’ve been making time to exercise, do something just for fun & spend time outside everyday! It’s made me have to be a lot better about my time management.

This year was probably the most anxiety inducing of my life (ya know going through a global pandemic and all). I got laid off from my job, had to quarantine within the same room as someone who had COVID for 3 weeks, ruined my hair and had to pay $600 to color correct it and chop it off, and just generally felt shitty, ya know? You probably know.

Buttttt, I’m happy that there were some positives too! Like, I moved out with @danny.crenshaw3! Getting accepted into nursing school & starting were also really big moments for me. & Hazel was born into existence (swipe for a puppy pic)!

Did anything positive happen in your life this year?

I explored 7 miles of beautiful waterfalls today. It was foggy and misty, but the weather was perfect! 

Luckily the trail was pretty empty and most people were also wearing masks 😷 

Here is a sneak peek of the first waterfall on the Trail of 10 Waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park before I post a reel!

In the mornings I’m *always* drinking coffee, trying to get the bulk of my work done and not giving in to any distractions.

In nursing school though I feel like there’s work to do 24/7!! 

So at night I’m writing or going over notecards and learning objectives. Writing notecards doesn’t require my complete attention since the active learning part for me is going through the notecards so I love to listen to podcasts and it’s actually relaxing. But maybe that’s just the wine tonight 🍷
