9 Books I’m Planning To Read During The Fall Months 🍂

I always find it helpful to have a reading list to guide me through the season. So, each season I like to compile a list of books I’d like to read during those three months. Sometimes I’m able to get through all of the books on my list. Other times, I only get through most. Either way, It’s my way of keeping things simple, by not constantly trying to remember what I wanted to read during the season 📚.

My fall reading list is comprised of books I’ve been meaning to read, and also some new releases. In no specific order, these are the 9 books on my Fall 2023 reading list:

Autumn in Sunset Harbour by CP Ward

The beautiful fall colors on the cover and the book’s description as an autumn-themed romantic comedy, are all it took to convince me to read this one. I’m looking forward to meeting Rachel Castle, who’s drawn back to her Cornish hometown following the death of her grandmother. Lots will go wrong for her there, but she’ll meet a fisherman who will turn her life around.

The Good Part by Sophie Cousens

Imagine being able to skip to the good part of your life, and bypassing the drudgery to get there. That’s what happens to Lucy Young, when she wakes up one morning to find herself in her forties, living the life she’d dreamed of! I enjoy time travel stories, and have high hopes for this story since I’ve been charmed by the author’s previous books.

The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella

Is there a Sophie Kinsella book I haven’t read? No! I really enjoy her writing style, witty characters, and humor.

In this latest book, Sasha is feeling burned out and heads to a seaside resort she loved as a child. When she arrives there things are as she’d expected, including the grumpy (and also burned out) man she meets there. When messages suddenly start appearing on the beach, their lives finally begin to change.

The Measure by Nikki Erlick

Goodreads Choice Awards – Nominee for Best Science Fiction (2022) and Nominee for Best Debut Novel (2022)

When little boxes suddenly appear at each doorstep around the globe, chaos ensues throughout the world. Each box contains a string, and an inscription stating that it’s the measure of the recipient’s life. Knowing the answer to exactly the amount of days they have left to live brings upon many fears and changes no one had imagined. It’s unclear where the boxes came from, or what’s going on. What’s clear is that lives, relationships, and trust are forever changed.
