We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is: Books on My Fall 2026 To-Read List (or Spring if you live in the Southern Hemisphere)
It’s hard to believe summer is already over and we’re only three months out from the year’s end. Does anyone else feel like this year has lasted a lifetime, yet also passed by in a blink? I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact it’s already the end of September! I really don’t know what’s in store for the next few months of reading. I’m usually a mood reader, but mood reading has taken the wheel big time this year, and those moods have often changed on a dime! So, long story short, we’re really winging it here. 😂 Will these books get read or will they continue sitting pretty on my shelves? Only time will tell!
Valor by John Gwynne
Espíritu by Aiden Thomas
The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden
Taipei Story by Rebecca F. Kuang
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer
Witch Trial by Harriet Tyce
Dead Silence by S. A. Barnes
When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley
What’s on your possibility pile this season? Any of these on your list or are you also mood reading on hard mode right now?
The Woman in White seems like a great read for this time of year. 🙂 Hope you enjoy these all. Happy reading.

I’m hoping to read Unicorn Hunters soon, I already borrowed it from the library once but didnt get to it in time so I’m waiting for my turn to try again 😂. I have The Woman in White, it would be a good one for this time of year! Oh and Witch Trial and Dead Silence are on my tbr as well! I hope you enjoy all of your fall reads 🙂 Here’s my TTT for this week.

I like framing it as a possibility pile rather than a TBR haha.
I really want to try to make time for Never Whistle At Night!

I feel like 2026 is passing by in the blink of an eye. I truly dont understand how its happening. I hope you enjoy any of these that you do manage to get to. You already know I’m intrigued by The Caretaker, Dead Silence and The Unicorn Hunters. I also have my eye on Witch Trial though. I keep meaning to order it into the library and not getting around to it 🙈 This is such a lovely selection of books. Also I hope you’re doing well 🥰🥰
