Fall officially begins on Friday, and I am so happy! I love fall. It’s probably my favorite season of the year (although I do love winter, too). During the fall season I love reading atmospheric, creepy, gothic kinds of stories. I also love mysteries and romantic suspense. This fall I’ve got a few of these kinds of books that I’d really love to get to, plus a few rich fantasies that sound amazing as well!
Girl At the Grave by Teri Bailey Black
Gothic YA! I am here for it!
Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye
Gothic retelling of Jane Eyre. YES.
Maulever Hall by Jane Aiken Hodge
A creepy, gothic romantic suspense novel that’s been republished recently from its original 1960’s version. There’s amnesia and paranoia and a large country home. Sounds very intriguing!
Tailspin by Sandra Brown
A romantic suspense novel about a pilot and a mysterious delivery.
The Last Woman in the Forest by Diane Les Becquets
Researching a serial killer in the Rocky Mountain wilderness.
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
I’ll devour any Beauty and the Beast retelling, and this one sounds perfect!
A Study In Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas
I’ve been really excited to read the Lady Sherlock historical mystery books, and this would be the perfect time to do it!
The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn
This kind of sounds like the book version of that movie Disturbia with Shia LaBeouf. I love that movie!
Beware the Wild by Natalie C. Parker
Another gothic YA romance/mystery/horror that I’ve heard great things about! It takes place in the swamps on Louisiana, and having lived there, I can see how creepy and horrifying this book has the potential to be.
The House at Midnight by Lucie Whitehouse
This one sounds so creepy! I love creepy English manors that seem to have their own personalities.
Which books are you hoping to read this fall?
Are you a mood reader who is inspired by the seasons?
What kinds of books do you like to read this time of year?
Have you read any of my picks?
I have not read any of your books, but A Curse so Dark and Lonely looks really good. Have a great week.

Wow those covers- The Last Woman in the Forest and Beware the Wild especially!
I loved A Curse So Dark And Lonely! And I love Sandra Brown and can’t wait to read Tailspin
I definitely need more gothic novels in my life, so I’m definitely adding these to my library list!

Jane Steele is just wonderful, and I can’t wait to get my hands on A Curse So Dark and Lonely.
“Jane Steele” should be on my list too!! I love the sound of this one, and since it’s been on my shelf for WAY too long, I’d say it’s about time I read this one. :)
A Curse So Dark and Lonely sounds good!

I didn’t think my book choices were determined by the seasons but now looking at my list it seems I tend towards historical mysteries at this time of year. So similar to your desire for books of a spooky, atmospheric nature. Having said that, I read a lot of historical fiction all year round and my list was largely driven by what’s on my reading schedule for the next few months – for blog tours and to meet publication dates.

Great list! A Curse So Dark and Lonely and Beware the Wild sound really interesting.

I am a bit of a mood reader, but still read pretty much any genre anytime! Love your gothic picks though!
I like your theme. I try and read a few atmospheric books in autumn but I’m not that good at sticking to focused lists!

Look at the COVERS though, they are so gorgeous and this little teapot has put them all on her TBR because of them.
I’m a total mood reader and seasonal, and I reread a lot in Autumn. So basically I have all of the books ever, plus ten more because of you haha.

The one book on your TBR I’d love to snatch for myself is A Curse So Dark And Lonely! I’ve loved Kemmerer’s books so far; can’t wait to see what she’ll do with fantasy. :)
I have heard amazing things about The Woman on the WIndow. I hope you enjoy it.

I JUST finished A Curse So Dark and Lonely last night and honestly it was one of the best books I’ve ever read!! I hope you love it!
Maleuver Hall and The House at Midnight both sound intriguing to me!! I am most certainly inspired by the fall, “creepy”, mysterious aura and that’s what I’ve chosen for my ten books!! https://threecatsandagirl.wordpress.com/2018/09/18/tt-books-on-my-fall-tbr-2018/
Ooh I should definitely add The Study in Scarlet Woman to my fall TBR list. I’ve owned it for awhile now, and this would be a GREAT time to read it. I hope you get to read most of these!!

I haven’t read any of these books but they all sound really creepy and I love that, they’re a great pick for this time of year and I love the covers of them!
I’ve been wanting to read A Curse So Dark and Lonely, too! I’m also a really big sucker for Beauty and the Beast retellings, and it looks so good! I’ve heard great things about The Woman in the Window, too! Sounds like you’ve got a great fall reading list.

I do tend to read scarier reads at this time of year! Lately, I’ve been reading more mysteries but that’s just because my holds on Overdrive keep coming in!! I haven’t read any of those that you’ve featured, but several are on my TBR. Great list!

I’m hoping to read the last Throne of Glass book this Fall. I can’t believe the series is finally coming to an end. I just hope Maas doesn’t pull a George R.R. Martin and kill everyone ;)
A Curse So Dark and Lonely is going on my TBR. I love any and all Beauty and the Beast retellings. Thanks for sharing :D

Haven’t read a Sandra Brown in a long minute; not familiar with the other authors though I’m curious how the gothic retelling of Jane Eyre approaches the story (especially since I kind of think of the original as somewhat gothic already). As a Caribbean woman, my encounters with winter have been chilling but to each her season, right.
Ooops My URL didn’t save. So here it is again.

You’ve got some good ones here. I’ve read both of Sherry Thomas’ Lady Sherlock books and am looking forward to her new one upcoming. THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW is very good. And I used to read Jane Aiken Hodge’s books way, way back in my much younger years. Loved them and am always glad when older books are republished.

I’ve read Tailspin and to be honest it disappointed me! I love Sandra Brown but felt like this was definitely not one her best.
I’m anxious to read more reviews of Women in the Window. That’s the one I’m most interested in on your list. A few others I’ll go read the blurb–they might be a good fit for me–thanks!
This is a great list! I’ve heard interesting things about The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn. I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on it!

I haven’t read any of these, but A Study in Scarlet Women is on my TBR too. Also, I just finished my first reading of Jane Eyre, so now I feel I can look at the retellings! Jane Steele looks fun.

A Study in Scarlett Women has been on my TBR for way too long. I hope you love it!
I love how atmospheric all of your choices are! Yas!

Jana, I love autumn too and I enjoy reading spooky and mysterious reads this time of year. As for the books you’ve got lined up, I have read Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye – it took me a little while to get into but I ended up loving it! :-)
jessicabookworm recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Top 10… Books on My Autumn TBR
Jane Steele sounds great! I’ve added it to my wishlist. I LOVED The Woman in the Window! Enjoy!
Sherry @ Ubiquitous Grace
Oh my goodness, these all look so good! I’m adding a bunch of them to my TBR list on Goodreads.
I have read THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW, which I really liked. It reminded me of the old movie Rear Window, which is what it’s kind of loosely based on. I haven’t seen Disturbia — I’ll have to check it out.
I have not read any of the books you recommended. I’m pretty sure most of them would give me nightmares :) I’m kind of a baby about scary books and movies. For me fall is all about cozy novels where I can cuddle up on the couch with a soft blanket and a hot cup of tea and lose myself for the afternoon.
I love fall, too! Bring on the spooky books. I hope you enjoy all these.

Hey, Jana! I’m Vinny and I’m blogging over ArtsyDraft.com. This is such an interesting meme! I just featured this meme on my blogging meme & link-ups directory. I hope you don’t mind! But if you do, please let me know! :) x
Oooh these all look so good! 😍 I hope you love Jane Steele; it’s definitely a great time of year to read it.
