Julia's Top Ten Books on My Fall TBR List

I have been in a reading funk. I have been so busy with other things that my books have taken a sideline to other things. This top ten list I am going to use to get me excited about new to me books this year. Let's see what I can find.

1. Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer: I enjoyed Everything is Illuminated so I would be interested in taking a look at this.

2. Heartless by Marissa Meyer: I loved the Lunar Chronicles so a book about Wonderland and a retelling of the Queen of Hearts. I love her writing so I am checking this out.

3. Summerlong by Peter Beagle: I love Persephone-esque stories. I feel like trying some fantasy may help snap out of my slump.

4. A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles: I found this quote about it "about an early-20th-century Russian count sentenced by a Bolshevik tribunal to spend the rest of his life in Moscow's Metropol Hotel" (EW).

5. Do You Want to Start a Scandal by Tessa Dare: I love Tessa Dare. I always devour her so quickly. This one takes us back to her last series so this should be fun. Also I can't help singing this to the tune of "Do you want to build a Snowman" from Frozen...

6. Orphans of the Carnival by Carol Birch: Julia (I already like it... books with my name) is a freak, like the carnival kind, looking for love and takes a love potion. Sounds good enough of a premise right there for me to read it!

7. Love her Madly by M. Elizabeth Lee: This one about two friends going on a trip and one of them disappearing only to turn up years later or something like that is drawing me since I am about to go on a trip with my friend... I just hope neither of us disappears.

8.The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee: Future NYC and a cash of interesting characters it seems. I'll try it.

9. The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman: An abandoned Parisian apartment tells a story to a point I guess of a grandmother and daughter each having to find their own way in different times. My summary sucks. I enjoyed the GR one though haha.

10. The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan: What a better ending then a book about books to get me back in the game?

  1. Heartless is also on my list--and Thousandth Floor SHOULD be!!

    ReplyDelete
  2. I decided to make my first blog post this TTT topic, just starting out and I love the idea of these.
    Also I read The Last Unicorn by Peter S Beagle and ADORED it, so Summerlong is going on my to-read list for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I need to get round to Summerlong, too! I actually had it as an eARC, and then I was getting married and too busy to read much. Oops. I hear such good things about it though.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Here I am, about a hundred and fifty pages into Here I Am, and I warn you, It's bleak and it's long. Am I continuing on? I am. Because Here I Am.

  5. Like the sound of A Gentleman in Moscow

    ReplyDelete
  6. I've got Heartless on my list too and I just found out about The Bookshop on the Corner at work yesterday (I'm a librarian) so I'll be ordering it for the library and definitely plan to read it myself. It sounds wonderful! Nice list!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I forgot about Heartless! It's felt so far away for so long that I keep forgetting it is almost here!

    ReplyDelete
  8. It seems Epic Reads reaaaaally wants me to read The Thousandth Floor, as since I love gossip girl, I may give it a try :D

    ReplyDelete
  9. Heartless is on my list, too (and it seems, everyone else's!) And, now I have the "Do you want to Build a Snowman" song in my head everytime I see that Tessa Dare title, LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I think a lot of us are dying for Heartless!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I really enjoyed The Thousandth Floor and I hope you do as well. I hope to get to Heartless this fall as well, but I ran out of spots on my top ten list this week. Happy reading!

    My TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2016/09/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-fall-tbr.html

  12. Bookshop on the Corner sounds fantastic! Might have to add that to my Fall TBR. Well, maybe my winter one. I've already got a lot on my fall list!
    My TTT

    ReplyDelete
  13. I was incredibly lucky to recieve a ARC of Heartless. It is brilliant and so very cleverly done. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
    My TTT

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm really curious about A Gentleman in Moscow; it sounds excellent! I won't be linking up this week as I basically did this the other day and don't want to repeat myself...I should have checked the upcoming topics! :(

    ReplyDelete
  15. The Bookshop on the Corner didn't make my top ten but it is on my TBR list; I've put it on hold at the library. I'm hesitating on Heartless; I've never been fond of books about the villain(ess). But I love Marissa Meyer so I'll probably try it.

  17. The Bookshop on the Corner sounds like a modern take on the theme of "Parnassus on Wheels" by Christopher Morley, although I expect these two don't have much else in common than the mobile bookshop theme. Definitely one for the "to check out" list.
    I've only read The Last Unicorn and I See By My Outfit by Peter S. Beagle. I'll definitely be on the lookout for reviews for Summerlong.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Lots of great-sounding books here! I've heard fantastic things about A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW. The circus book is new to me, but it sounds good as well.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Nice list. :3

    My Fall TBR list is this:
    https://mikkuchan.wordpress.com/2016/09/27/top-ten-tuesday-4-top-10-books-on-my-fall-tbr-list-september-27th/

    As always dominated by Gay Romance books... But this is my blog theme :D

    ReplyDelete
  20. I want to read Summerlong. Its cover is wonderful! I am doing a lot of Horror reading for October and the rest are pretty much ARCs. Fate Of the Tearling is probably my most anticipated. :)
