My Fall TBR

2025/8/29 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're like many book lovers, the fall season often sparks the urge to dive into a large TBR (To Be Read) list filled with cozy, spooky, and atmospheric stories, perfect for crisp autumn days and long nights. Managing a substantial Fall TBR can feel overwhelming, especially when you also have advanced reader copies (ARCs) lined up to read. To keep your Fall TBR manageable, try categorizing your books into themes such as cozy reads, spooky reads, and general fall favorites. Cozy reads often include heartwarming stories with a slower pace, ideal for relaxing with a warm drink by the fire. Spooky reads, on the other hand, bring an element of suspense and thrill, fitting for Halloween and the darker mood of autumn. Consider prioritizing your ARC commitments early in the season, so you can enjoy your personal picks without the pressure of deadlines. Additionally, pacing yourself by setting small reading goals each week can help you chip away at your TBR without burnout. Engaging with communities like #bookishgirlies or #tbr on social media platforms can provide inspiration and accountability, as well as new recommendations tailored to fall reading. Remember, your TBR is there to enrich your autumn experience, so it's okay to adjust it as your reading preferences evolve. Embracing these strategies can make your Fall TBR feel enjoyable and less daunting. Whether you’re curling up with a spooky thriller or a cozy family saga, this season offers the perfect backdrop for exploring a variety of books that capture the essence of fall.

🗝️The Inmate by Freida McFadden I am 106 pages in and I'm really enjoying it. The Dual POV seems to be making it a faster read for me. I've read 2 books by Freida McFadden previously so I knew I needed one of her books on my fall TBR. What's your favorite Freida McFadden book?
