Top Ten Tuesday: Let's Get the Fall Reading Party Started, Or, My Fall TBR List (Part Two)
10:14 AM
I always love it when we do seasonal book lists for TTT, so I'm excited for today's topic—Top Ten Books On My Fall TBR List. I was so eager for it, in fact, that I started it last week, posting the first part of my list here. (Or just scroll down since I only seem to be able to manage one post a week these days!) Today, you get the second half of my list of books I still need to read to fulfill prompts for my 2023 reading challenges. I can't wait to see what you all will be reading this Fall!
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl. Click on over there and give her some love, won't you? While you're there, add a link to your own TTT list of Fall reads so I can check it out.
Top Ten Books On My Fall TBR List (Part Two)
1. Scene of the Climb by Kate Dyer-Seeley—This cozy mystery is set in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, a lush scenic area in Oregon and Washington. It's a region I know well since that's where I grew up. I've been meaning to read this series opener for awhile now since (1) I enjoy a good cozy, (2) it's by one of my favorite cozy writers (Kate Dyer-Seeley is Ellie Alexander's real name), and (3) it's set in a place I love.
The story revolves around an out-of-work journalist who bluffs her way into writing for an extreme sports magazine (even though she's anything but athletic). Pretending to be a seasoned mountain climber for a story is difficult enough, but when the reporter witnesses a suspicious death, she finds herself impersonating Nancy Drew as well.
Literary Escapes Reading Challenge—Oregon AND the Craving For Cozies Reading Challenge AND the Pick Your Poison Reading Challenge—Two Books By the Same Author Using Different Names AND the Medical Examiner's Mystery Reading Challenge
2. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree—Even though this is not at all the type of book I usually read, it is so universally loved that not reading it is giving me a serious case of FOMO! For the few of you who haven't read it, it's about an orc who's tired of doing battle for her daily bread. She decides to retire her sword and open the first coffee shop ever seen in her city (where, by the way, no one even knows what coffee is). Abundant obstacles stand in the way of her business plan's success, but that doesn't stop her from working tirelessly to make her dreams come true.

3. Famous in a Small Town by Viola Shipman—Eighty-year-old Mary Jackson has run the Very Cherry General Store in quaint Good Hart, Michigan, for most of her life. As the last of the Jackson women, she's afraid she might have to do the unthinkable and turn the place over to (gulp!) a man. Then, Becky Thatcher comes to town. Becky never expected to start over at age 40, but it's beginning to look as if fate has other plans for her...
The Pick Your Poison Reading Challenge—A Book By An Author Using a Pseudonym of the Opposite Gender
4. The Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees by Meredith May—This non-fiction title is about a girl who is left lonely and adrift by a chaotic home life. She is taken in by her grandfather, an eccentric beekeeper, who helps her find herself and her "people" by teaching her the art of beekeeping and honey-making.
The Pick Your Poison Reading Challenge—A Memoir or Biography About Someone With an Unusual Hobby
5. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Mass—High fantasy is not a genre you see featured much here at BBB because it's just not my thing. One great feature of reading challenges is that they force me out of my reading comfort zones. So, I'm going to finally read a Maas book. She's such a popular author that it will be fun for me to give her a go. I think.
Wait! Does Legends & Lattes count as a high fantasy? I'm a little confused by what is and what is not a high fantasy...anyone know??
Anyway, this popular novel is the first in a YA romantasy series about a huntress who is dragged into the vicious faerie underworld after killing a wolf in the woods. As she comes to know the beast who has captured her, she realizes that neither he nor his world is quite what they seem. Something is not quite right in faerie land and she might be the only one who can save it...
The 52 Club Reading Challenge—High Fantasy AND the Pick Your Poison Reading Challenge—A Book About Fairies
6. Off the Grid by Tess Sharpe—This middle-grade adventure is the first installment in a series starring Maisie Lockwood, a young character from the Jurassic Park movies. I'm not sure what the plot of this novel is, but I know it's exciting and features dinosaurs. Again, not my usual thing, but it fulfills several of my reading challenge prompts, so I'm in.
PopSugar Reading Challenge—A Book Based on a Popular Movie AND the Pick Your Poison Reading Challenge—A Book With Dinosaurs in It
7. Solito by Javier Zamora—I've been meaning to read this immigration memoir ever since it came out last year. It's the author's story about the harrowing 3,000-mile journey he made from his small hometown in El Salvador through Guatemala and Mexico, into the United States where he planned to reunite with the parents he hardly remembered. Traveling with a group of strangers with only a paid coyote to guide them, the 9-year-old experienced every kind of terror on his long, perilous journey.
8. Hour Glass by Michelle Rene—This western is set in the lawless town of Deadwood, South Dakota, where two orphaned children find a collection of colorful individuals who unexpectedly become family.
Literary Escapes Reading Challenge—South Dakota AND the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge
9. All the Small Poems and Fourteen More by Valerie Worth—Poetry is another genre I tend to avoid. In general, I find poems too abstract and confusing to really enjoy. I figure poetry written for children should be short and easy to understand, right?
Build Your Library Challenge—Read a Book of Nature Poetry AND the Pick Your Poison Reading Challenge
10. The Sewing Machine by Natalie Fergie—This is a novel about family secrets. It's told over several generations, all of which are connected through an heirloom sewing machine.
The Pick Your Poison Reading Challenge—A Book With the Word "Machine" or "Mechanic" in the Title AND the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge
There you go, ten more books on my Fall TBR list. It's an eclectic list for me! What do you think? Have you read any of these? Which titles are you planning to read during this season? I'd truly love to know. Leave me a comment on this post and I will gladly return the favor on your blog. I also reply to comments left here.
Happy TTT!

I hope you love Legends & Lattes!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Lydia
Everyone who reads it seems to love it, so I assume I'll enjoy it as well. We'll see.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lydia!
I still need to read Legends & Lattes and the Maas book, too! I have been curious about both of them. I hope you love these all.
ReplyDeleteI'm always curious about books that most people seem to like. They give me FOMO feelings, even when they're not in my genre - and we can't have that! LOL.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Deanna!
Fantasy is definitely not my go-to genre, but I truly loved the ACOTAR series when I read it several years ago. One of those couldn't put it down reads!
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I appreciate a good, compelling story no matter the genre.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Tanya!
I’m interested in how you like the South Dakota book. It’s my home state and I’m always looking for books with a SD setting! Plus, I love found family! ~Carol @ ReadingLadies
ReplyDeletePeople live in South Dakota?? Just kidding! It's a really difficult setting to find in books. I struggle with it every year. HOUR GLASS sounds like a good one to me. I'll let you know what I think when I get to it.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Carol!
Love your choices and reasons. I didn't like the Maas book but most likely one of the few. The Sewing Machine sounds really interesting and I did enjoy the Viola Shipman book.
ReplyDeleteACOTAR seems to be almost universally loved, but that doesn't mean anything. There are plenty of books "everyone" loved and I didn't. No problem with that!
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the Shipman book. I've only read his first one and I didn't love it. I'm hoping I'll like this one better.
Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kathryn!
I haven't seen it on lists or Goodreads before, but Hour Glass has a really interesting premise. And I love the simple but stunning cover design! So pretty. Hope you enjoy all of your autumn hopeful reads, and as always, many thanks for visiting my website today. :)
ReplyDeleteSame! I came across HOUR GLASS only when I Googled "books set in South Dakota." It sounds like a compelling read, so hopefully it is!
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Rissi!
The Sewing Machine sounds super fascinating to me! (we started a small sewing business, LOL!) I hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! I know nothing at all about sewing, but I always like a family secrets novel, especially ones that connect different generations through one object. THE SEWING MACHINE gets good reviews, so I'm hopeful that it will be one of those hidden gems that is so fun to find.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cindy!
Off the Grid looks very cute. And I want to read Legends and Lattes, too...if I can squeeze it in before the end of the year. Fingers crossed! ;D
ReplyDeleteOFF THE GRID is a quick, exciting read. You could read it in a matter of hours. It's nothing special, really, but I think kids will like it. The characters are likable, there's lots of action, and, of course, dinosaurs! I bought a copy of the book since I couldn't find it anywhere but Amazon. I'm happy to send it to you if you want it.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!
I have only read Solito from this list and it was very good. Definitely a well written story even though it's nonfiction. I think you'll like it.
ReplyDeleteI think I will too. It sounds like a super interesting story. I like immigration stories, even though they're often so harrowing and sad.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!
Solito is now on my list. Thank you. Happy reading. Can’t wait for fall.
ReplyDeletewww.rsrue.blogspot.com
I hope we both enjoy SOLITO!
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, rsrue!
I enjoyed Legends & Lattes - didn't LOVE it but I thought it was a very laid back, easy going read. I didn't mind ACOTAR but I enjoyed the second book better and I think most people do.
ReplyDeleteI definitely get that laidback vibe from LEGENDS & LATTES and I'm all in for a cozy read right now! I'm really curious to see what I think of ACOTAR. Most people seem to love it. It's interesting that most people like the second book better too. Hmm...
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Bree!
I hope you love them all! Legends & Lattes isn't my usual type of read either, but I really want to know what the hype is about.
ReplyDeleteSame! I usually try to ignore hype, but sometimes I just HAVE to know what's got everyone talking, you know? I hope we both enjoy it!
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, AJ!
The Sewing Machine looks great!
ReplyDeleteI think so too! Fingers crossed it's as good as it sounds :)
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Bonnie!
Hourglass looks interesting. I'll have to look it up. I hope you enjoy all the books on your Fall TBR!
ReplyDeleteI found HOUR GLASS by Googling books that are set in South Dakota. I haven't seen any actual blog reviews for it, but it gets high marks on Goodreads, so hopefully it's a good one.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Rachel!
Scene of the Climb sounds fascinating to me especially since I don't know the area! Legends & Lattes was great--and it does count as high fantasy, which typically just has to be a self-contained fantasy world, as opposed to portal fantasy, where characters come to a fantasy world from the "real world."
ReplyDeleteThe Columbia River Gorge is beautiful. Lush and rugged. People flock there to hike, bicycle, windsurf, go whitewater rafting, etc. Unfortunately, it can be dangerous too. If you're familiar with The Piano Guys, the Gorge is where Jon Schmidt's daughter fell to her death.
DeleteThanks for clarifying on what a high fantasy is. Now, I can use LEGENDS & LATTES for two different prompts. Yay! I love it when I can double up, especially at the end of the year when I'm racing to finish all of my challenges.
Thanks for popping in. Which blog are you visiting from? I'd love to visit you back!
I've seen Legends and Lattes everywhere lately. I hope you enjoy all your books on this list! 😀
ReplyDeleteSame! And most people seem to love it, so I'm hopeful that I will too.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Nicole!
This is the fourth or fifth time I've come across Solito in the last few days—I think the universe is telling me to read it. I hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a sign! SOLITO sounds heartbreaking, but illuminating. I'm excited to read it. I hope we both enjoy it.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Ely!
I hope you enjoy The Sewing Machine I read it for the blog tour a few years ago!
ReplyDeleteNice! Somehow, it totally flew under my radar and I didn't hear about it until very recently. It sounds like my kind of book, so hopefully I'll enjoy it.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, NickiMags!
Scene of the Climb sounds great! (And a good pun will always convince me to buy a cozy lol)
ReplyDeleteHa ha. You gotta love the punny cozy mystery titles. Some of them are really clever!
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Louise!
Legends & Lattes absolutely fits the "cozy mystery", at least to me. I wouldn't say it's like...murder mystery or anything like that, but there's definitely a "What's going to happen with this?" feeling. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!!
ReplyDeleteMakes sense and I definitely don't think a cozy mystery has to necessarily involve murder. Most of them do, but not all. Thanks for clarifying and thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, A.D.!
DeleteI have been really wanting to read LEGENDS AND LATTES, too. Seems like so many people loved it. SOLITO also looks really good. I'm gonna add that one to my TBR! Thanks for sharing your list. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen tons of people really love a book, I'm always curious to see if I'll feel the same. Even then, I usually don't read fantasy, but LEGENDS & LATTES just seems like a fun read so I'm going for it! SOLITO sounds like an important and moving read. I'm excited to read it.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kasey!
I'll be interested to read your thoughts on Maas. Like you, I don't really focus on high fantasy. Still, I'm intrigued by the popularity of her series.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I like about reading challenges is that they get me outside of my usual reading comfort zones. High fantasy is REALLY not my thing, so we'll see how I do with Maas. Her books are super popular, so hopefully we'll like them too, even though they're not our usual thing.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Ethan!
The Sewing Machine looks really interesting - my mum has an old singer just like the one on the cover so I might get it for her for her birthday and pinch it to read myself after :))
ReplyDeleteYES! That sounds like a sneaky, but perfect plan :) LOL.
DeleteThanks for popping in, Genevieve!
I like the way your choices are all over the map when it comes, in particular, to genres. That's a great way to keep yourself from getting into a reading rut. I'm particularly interested in Solo because I missed hearing about that one before now. I've often wondered how these children survive the journey to this country without being maimed or murdered, or at the very least, emotionally scarred for the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteReading challenges help me get outside my reading comfort zones, which is a good thing, I think. I'll always stick mostly to mystery/thriller novels and historical fiction (as I always have), but it's good to change things up now and then!
DeleteI think immigration stories like SOLITO are really important to read. They humanize the innocent people who are so desperate to get over the border that they will do literally anything to get here. Border control is such a hot issue, especially here in Arizona, that I think it's crucial we have stories like Zamora's to help us see what's really going on and to understand the toll these journeys exact from the people who undertake them.
Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!
Legends & Lattes is very cute, and heartwarming, hope you enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a heartwarming read :)
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Vero!
This might be a strange statement to make in a TTT post comment, but I was trying really hard to avoid adding any books to my TBR today (well, yesterday now), because it's grown exponentially during the last few TTT's. But I can't pass up Off the Grid, being the mega Jurassic Park fan that I am.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. I totally understand! TTT is the best/worst thing that ever happened to my TBR list :)
DeleteOFF THE GRID was a quick, easy read. I couldn't remember much about the characters and their back stories so I had to do some Googling. The story presumes you already know all that stuff, which you probably would have being a big Jurassic Park fan. I hope you like it when you read it.
Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kristi!
These sound like some great picks! I tend to prefer poetry for children because it often focuses on the way the words sound... though that could also just be the poets I pick. Poetry really should have subgenres, but I haven't seen them mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call Legends & Lattes a cozy mystery, really, but I would call it a cozy fantasy. Your mileage may vary, though; you might find more to the mystery there than I did.
Good point! Children's poetry seems more entertaining and vivid too. I've never enjoyed poetry, but poems written for children definitely seem more approachable to me.
DeleteCozy fantasy seems to be a new-ish genre. Or is it something I'm only just hearing about (not being a big fantasy reader)?
Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Nicole!
Off the Grid, Off the Grid! What a fun little book and a particular joy if you loved the film's found-family aspect. And thanks for the reminder that I need to update the ridiculously and unnecessarily obscure description on Goodreads with the actual summary from the back of the book already. At least one of them should be fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteAre you a GR librarian?? Someone definitely needs to update the summary. I mean, you know from the cover and the fact that it's part of the Jurassic Park franchise that it's going to be a dinosaur adventure story, but more details definitely would have been nice. And I do love the found-family aspect in the movie. It's a big theme in this novel as well.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, RS!
Oh, girl, you remind me how many books I still need to read for my reading challenges! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Ellie Alexander was a pen name. I'll have to check out Scene of the Crime - it sounds like a good read!
Ha ha. Right? I updated my challenges spreadsheet yesterday and I still have 43 books to read in order to complete all my challenges. LOL. I don't know if I'm going to make it at this point!
DeleteI'm not entirely sure that Kate Dyer-Seeley is Ellie Alexander's real name, but it's definitely one of the names she writes under. Kate Dyer-Seeley sounds more like a real name, in my opinion.
Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lisa!
I've been meaning to pick up Solito myself. I hope all of these end up being enjoyable reads!
ReplyDeleteIt's been on my TBR list ever since I heard about it and I still haven't read it. Ack! So many books, so little time...
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Alicia!
A Court of Thrones and Roses seems right up my alley. Thanks for your list, happy belated TTT!
ReplyDeleteLots of people love ACOTAR. I'm interested to see if the book lives up to its hype for me or not. I hope you enjoy it if you read it!
DeleteThanks for stopping in, Lexi!
Ooh nice lineup! Totally new to me ones except for ACOTAR! That one was pretty fun! It has a loose storythread of Beauty and the Beast if you like fairy tales (note it would be TB&TB fairy tale, not the Disney movie, lol)! I enjoyed that series of hers but couldn't get into her first one.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy these this fall!
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
Oh, interesting. I didn't know it was a kind of Beauty and the Beast story, but that makes sense based on the plot summary I read. I'm really interested to see what I'll think of it!
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Jessica!
I have been thinking of reading Solito, Legends and Lattes (for the same reason you are), as well as a Maas book for way too long now.. and that book of poems sounds perfect for me..
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT: https://www.ladyinreadwrites.com/10-great-books-for-fantastic-fall-festivals-from-india/
Great minds think alike! I hope we both enjoy SOLITO , LEGENDS AND LATTES, and our first forays into the land of Maas. I haven't opened the poetry book yet, but it looks short and unassuming, so hopefully I can handle it. LOL.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lady in Read!
These all sound interesting, especially The Honey Bus and Solito. I love memoirs! I hope you enjoy reading all of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for interesting memoirs too. People are endlessly fascinating!
DeleteThanks for popping in, TLL!
I really like the sound of The Sewing Machine, and I think my mum and sister would enjoy it too x
ReplyDeleteI'm always up for a multi-generational story about family secrets. I hope we all enjoy THE SEWING MACHINE!
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Caroline!
Yes! I see Legends and Lattes everywhere, but it's not really my genre either. I'll probably end up picking it up, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to resist a book, even if it's not in a genre you usually read, when EVERYONE is raving about it! I hope we both enjoy it.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Dedra!
You always have such interesting books on your TBR! Legends and Lattes is fantastic - it's technically a cozy fantasy, low stakes, little conflict, more of a focus on friendship and found family. I hope you enjoy it and all the others on your list!
ReplyDeleteGotcha! Is cozy fantasy a new genre? I'd never heard the term before LEGENDS AND LATTES gained so much popularity. Interesting.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leah!
What a great looking fall TBR. I read Legends and Lattes this year and it was pretty good. The Sewing Machine sounds quite intriguing. I hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping these all turn out to be winners. We'll see how it goes.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sarah!
The Sewing Machine sounds amazing. There’s an antique sewing machine that has been passed down in my family for a few generations. I’m sadly terrible at sewing, though, so we made sure it went to someone who liked and was good at that hobby. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Long and Short Review’s post this week!
Astilbe
Oh, that's awesome! I love family heirlooms. Sewing is not something I'm good at either, so I totally understand. I'm glad someone who does love it is getting to use such an awesome heirloom.
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Astilbe!
I've got the Saarah J Mass one on my list as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope we both enjoy it!
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Hena!
Legends and Lattes was a lot of fun. I hadn't heard of Off the Grid before but that sounds great. I can imagine my 7yo loving it (if it ever gets translated that is).
ReplyDeleteI think any kid who loves dinosaur adventure stories would like OFF THE GRID. I can't imagine it getting translated, but I'll cross my fingers for you!
DeleteThanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Annemieke!
I do think poetry for children can be a great way into poetry.
ReplyDelete
