Books on My Fall 2024 To-Read List #TopTenTuesday
I want to take a good look at my TBR. I’ve been struggling lately, mostly because I keep picking up books that I “should” read instead of ones that delight me. Time to switch that up!
First up, a book that’s due back at the library soon and that I really want to review on my blog.
- London: A Guide for Curious Wanderers by Jack Chesher. This is charming enough to be a gift book, so I’ll wait until Black Friday to post my thoughts.
Next, two books that I’m looking forward to reading with my book group.
- Solito (a memoir about crossing the US’s southern border) in Hispanic Heritage Month
- There, There (a novel set at the Big Oakland Powwow) during Native American Heritage Month
I hope to read a murder mystery in October. I have several on my TBR, but this is the one that I’m going to try first.
- This Side of Murder by Anna Lee Huber
Lately, I’ve been listening to an audiobook, most of the time, but my list of ideas has grown quite short. Any suggestions? For now, I’m going with these two.
- Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan, an audiobook about an audiobook narrator — ha!
- My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan, assuming the above book goes well, this story sounds right up my alley
Then, it’s probably time to start reading for posts that I want to write in December. Here’s my list of holiday-themed books:
- Last Christmas in Paris by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb
- Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan
- Murder Most Festive by Ada Moncrieff
- A Lot Like Christmas by Connie Willis
What do you suggest that I add to my TBR given my clearly eclectic tastes?
I have My Oxford Year and I think you should always go with books you want to read, no obligatory reading!
Solito sounds so good!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
Wow you’ve already got Christmas books on the schedule — you’re organized. I’m listening to Julia Whelan narrate the novel The Women right now … and she’s good as usual. Should be a good one. Enjoy your TBR reading.
SOLITO is an interesting read for sure. I learned a lot from it. I hope you enjoy it (as much as you can with those types of books) as well as all these others.
Happy TTT!

I finished a Christmas book this past week. I’ll be posting a review of Maid at Christmas tomorrow
Enjoy your TBR!

I hope you enjoy all of these when you get the chance! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Nothing wrong with an eclectic taste! I tried Jenny Colgan’s book but ended up not caring for it. I hope you enjoy all of these.
Murder Most Festive sounds fun! I hope you enjoy these books and they fit the mood you’re looking for when you pick them up. Have a fabulous week.
I like how you have organized your reading for the next few months all the way to Christmas. I also find that I have trouble when I try to force myself to read books I should read. I look forward to seeing what you think of the London book.
