books i hope to read & re-read this fall // guest post featuring audrey

Hello, my dears!

I am so glad to back here after such a long period of time!  Today, the ever-lovely Emily has asked me to do a guest post concerning my favorite thing ever…

Autumn! 😀

I LOVE Fall!  All my favorite things run through September to November.  I mean, it is the PERFECT dressing weather because we get scarves and hats, but it is also warm enough to rock short sleeves and stuff if you wanted to.  All things pumpkin spice are just fabulous, and let’s not forget the most important thing…

Coffee & hot tea are great during the crisp golden days of Autumn which also means that it’s a perfect time to read!

*sighs at the thought of it all*

I LOVE FALL!

For some reason, I love to re-read books in Fall.  Books that I just adore need to be re-read, and Fall is when I like to do it.  But my TBR list is much too long to abandon for a whole season, so today I will be sharing with you all the books I plan to read and re-read this spectacular season!  (However, November approaches which means National Novel Writing Month is coming up, too.  I will be spending a lot of time on that as well.)

books i hope to be reading…

BLUE LIKE FRIDAY by Siobhan Parkinson

I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!  It has been on my TBR list FOREVER and I really need to buy it soon before I go crazy!  I wanted to buy this book about a year ago when I started writing my own novel.  The storyline was very inspiring and had similarities to my novel.  I wanted it for a sort of inspiration.  Well, now I’ve finished my novel and I still haven’t read this!

SO B. IT by Sarah Weeks

I don’t know where I heard about this one, but the cover is really cool!

HATTIE BIG SKY & HATTIE EVER AFTER by Kirby Larson

This one has also been on my TBR list for some time.  I really love the second cover, and the fact that the MC is a reporter, makes me wanna read this even more!  I love reporter stories for some strange reason…

 

THE MOTHER DAUGHTER BOOK CLUB by Heather Vogel Frederick

Every book-blogger on the block has recommended this one to me and I REALLY need to read it!  It seems to be favorited by everyone 🙂

STAY WHERE YOU ARE AND THEN LEAVE by John Boyne

I love John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas so I am super excited for this one!  Hopefully I won’t cry as much…

A CORNER OF THE UNIVERSE by Ann M. Martin

I LOVE THIS COVER.  I found this book through Emily’s blog here at For The Bookish.  I have a strange addiction to photos of ferris wheels.  The funny thing about it is that I have a fear of heights.  But they’re so romantically beautiful!

books i hope to re-read…

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee

Such a classic!  Such a story!

THE HEART MENDER by Andy Andrews

♥ ♥ ♥ Words can’t even describe how much I loved this book!  It’s based off a true story, and so… so… so… amazing!  Just read it!

WONDER by R.J. Palacio

I WILL name my future son August.  End of story.

THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS by John Boyne

Time to pull out the tissues again.  At least this time I know what to expect…

So the list is pretty long and I don’t know if I’ll be able to take (or afford!) all these books, but I’m going to try!  I begin most of my NaNoWriMo prep in October, so I have to read all that I can before then!  (Look out for a NaNo Prep post on The Measure of a Book!)

have you read any of these books?  what is on your fall reading list?

XOXO,

Audrey

  1. We definitely have a lot in common, Audrey. So B. It, Hattie Big Sky, Hattie Ever After, the Mother-Daughter Book Club, and A Corner of the Universe are all HUGE favorites of mine. I know you’ll enjoy them! So are Wonder and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The others you mentioned are on my list as well – especially To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s my mom’s favorite classic, and I’m hoping to read it soon. 🙂

  2. Argh, I have heard SO much about The Boy in Striped Pajamas and how heartbreaking is. I’m slightly terrified about checking it out, but yet I want to read it, soooo I dunno what to do. xD
    Anyways, it was fun seeing all the books you’re looking forward to read! Good luck with the stack. 😀

  3. Autumn is my favorite season too!! 🙂 Its seriously the best time of year! I’ve read So B. It and I want to read Wonder, Heart Mender and The Boy in Striped Pajamas. My mother wouldn’t let me watch the movie adaptation of the latter title because she says it’s too sad/scary….I’m a fan of reading WWII books, I think its good to remember the terrible things that happened. Awesome post Audrey! 🙂

    1. You would love all those books, Madison! They are all really wonderful! I love WWII books, too! It’s just a time full of bravery, and I love to read about it.

    1. Oops! I just noticed there’s no link to Audrey’s blog in the post. She’s a sweet bookish friend of mine, and her blog is called The Measure of a Book. Here it is!
