Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic:
Top Ten Books On My Fall TBR
I do not follow TBR lists, though I sometimes make them, so don’t expect that I will strictly adhere to this one. A few of the books below are from my summer TBR list, which I posted only because it was a TTT topic.
What are your fall reading plans?
Here’s what other bloggers plan to read

Zezee with Books 
I love, love, love Jane Eyre!!!! I have to re-read it again myself soon. And Suetonius’ Caligula looks great. I think I might do a Greek/Roman challenge for myself next year to make sure I concentrate more on such great literature.
Happy reading this autumn!

Oooh, Jane Eyre! Most classic novels don’t really appeal to me (it must be the style of language they used back then), but I’ve always loved that one. A Discovery of Witches was pretty good, too. A little too long and detailed, but I still got sucked in. (Um, no pun intended there, since vampires are part of the story!) I hope you enjoy them both, and all the other books on your list!

Thanks Sara. I love a detailed story so maybe A Discovery of Witches will be a new favorite. *fingers crossed*
Same here on classics. I think that’s why I DNF’d Tom Jones and Don Quixote though they were funny and I liked them. The sentences wore me out.

I completely forgot to add Magnus Chase to my own list! I’m so excited for that! The Rest of Us Just Live Here is another one I’m hoping to get to soon as well. This is a fantastic selection of books! 🙂

Thanks! I have a sample of Magnus Chase that I’ve yet to read. Smh, my second hobby is procrastinating.

Jane Eyre is great! Hope you love it, if this is your first read. The Rest of Us Just Live Here sounds really interesting, and I’m hoping to start the Raven Boys series this fall- glad to see you are continuing on with the series!
Thanks for stopping by the The Local Muse

Some nice cover art there. I loved Jane Eyre, and have been fascinated to learn of the prequel Wide Sargasso See (though I won’t be getting to it anytime soon.) Nice list.

Thanks! I look forward to reading them since I didn’t give them a fair chance the first time.

Wow I didn’t know the Magnus Chase cover was out already! Definitely looking forward to that 😀 I’m reading The Dream Thieves now and the writing is beautiful although the plot is going unexpected ways.

Unexpected ways!! I’m going to start on it tonight. I can’t wait any longer.

Would love to hear what you think of ‘Jane Eyre’ and ‘Wide Sargasso Sea’! I remember having to read both books for one of my university courses and it was really interesting with the different perspectives! Happy reading! 🙂

Thanks Jody. I had to do the same for a college lit class so this will be a reread.

I read Jane Eyre earlier this year and I loved it much more than I expected! It was one of those books that continued to grow on me even after I had finished it. Wide Sargosso Sea is such an interesting concept, so it should be an interesting companion to it.

Yea. I attempted to read the two of them before but didn’t enjoy them. I wonder what I’ll think this time.

I loved The Dream Thieves, Maggie is just a fantastic writer. I also have Wild Sargasso Sea on my shelf and I should really get to it. Nice list!

I agree about Stiefvater. My plan is to read Wild Sargasso Sea after Jane Eyre since it’s about the woman in the attic. I read both books before for a lit class but didn’t like either one back then.

Ooh the Magnus Chase one sounds great but I have so many books left to read! I’m telling myself to not buy too many more books until I’ve read a good chunk of what I have already! 😛

That’s a good idea so as not to feel overwhelmed by the books. I think there’s a TBR challenge I saw where people read five books from their TBR before purchasing a new one.
