Fall 2019 TBR

By Brookelorren on 39 Comments
Top Ten Tuesday

It’s another Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl), and we’re once again talking about our seasonal TBRs. I love dreaming of all the books I’m gonna read!

First, let’s see how I did on my Summer 2019 TBR:

  • Allegedly – Tiffany D. Jackson: Read
  • Ash Princess – Laura Sebastian: Read
  • Rora – James Byron Huggins: Read
  • Obsidian – Jennifer L. Armentrout: Read
  • Truthwitch – Susan Dennard: Read
  • The Thousandth Floor – Katharine McGee: Read
  • Isle of Blood and Stone – Makiia Lucier: Read
  • And I Darken – Kiersten White: Read
  • Naughts & Crosses – Malorie Blackman: Read
  • Dive Smack – Demetra Brodsky: Read

10/10! I picked all of these books with the help of a random number generator.

So for the fall 2019 TBR, I had six pre-orders (eight if you include the Audible pre-order of The Guinevere Deception and the Batman Graphic Novel) which left four remaining spaces for other books on my TBR. There were 45 books I would have been interested in reading, but I had to narrow it down to four. So I used a random number generator again.

This is the list I came up with (in the order I’ll probably read them in).

Rebel cover

At 10 PM on September 30th, I plan on starting Rebel by Marie Lu. I’ll be live-tweeting my (spoiler-free) reactions and will stay awake until I finish. Luckily for me, it’s the homeschool coop’s fall break, and I declared October 1st to be a school holiday. Uh, that’s less than 7 days and 12 hours from now. Can I start freaking out now? I’m thinking of rereading Warcross and Wildcard first, if I have time this week after finishing Fountains of Silence, another October 1st release I have to read (although that one I got as an ARC).

The End and Other Beginnings cover

The other book that will be arriving on October 1st is The End and Other Beginnings by Veronica Roth (actually, the Batman graphic novel, another Marie Lu book, is also arriving). Ms. Roth is my other auto-buy author, and I already read one of her short stories, “Inertia” from Summer Days and Summer Nights. I can’t wait to read it again, along with two more short stories about Akos and Cyra, and some other stories.

Ninth House cover

When Leigh Bardugo’s newest book, Ninth House, was originally announced, it was supposed to come out on October 1st (along with the two books listed above). I’m already planning on having a mini-readathon with the two books above. I wasn’t really sad that its release date was pushed back a week. Chain of Gold and Kingdom of Back are going to do the same thing to me on March 3rd of next year. Anyway, I’ll probably start reading this one on its release date.

The Beautiful Cover

The problem with Ninth House being pushed back a week is that now it’s coming out on the same day as The Beautiful by Renée Ahdieh. Decisions decisions. They’re both coming, but I’ll probably read this vampire book after I read Ninth House.

Always Forever Maybe cover

After Ninth House and The Beautiful arrive and I have the chance to read them, there’ll be about two weeks before the next book I pre-ordered arrives, which will give me the chance to read another TBR lottery winner. I got a copy of Always Forever Maybe at the Colorado Teen Literature conference this year and haven’t read it yet.

This Savage Song cover

And finally, after nearly a year of saying nearly every week “I have to read something by Victoria Schwab” I actually will. This Savage Song was another TBR lottery winner. So yay! I’ll get to read this one.

Call Down the Hawk cover

Maggie Stiefvater is another author that I found myself wanting to read week after week after week. I finally joined in with a Raven Cycle readathon, and now I’m pre-ordering Call Down the Hawk.

Thousands cover

After Call Down the Hawk arrives, it’ll be two weeks before my next pre-order arrives, so I have a week to read another TBR lottery winner, Thousands. I read the first three books of this series this spring and never had the chance to continue.

Queen of Nothing cover

On November 19th, The Queen of Nothing will arrive. There’s a good chance that this, along with The Wicked King will make my favorite books of the year list, but I normally group books from the same series together.

Sea Witch cover

When I originally created this list, I drew That Night from the random number generator. Since I finished that book the day before this list was going to go up, I realized I needed to pick another book. Sea Witch ended up being the pick. It was another one of those books I got on sale for $1.99. It’ll probably be the last book from the Fall 2019 TBR that I read.

This fall is going to be great for books! Not very good for the backlist books, but definitely for new releases. I can’t wait to read these!

So what do you plan on reading this fall? Do you stick to your TBRs, or do you tend to wing it? Next week, while I’m reading Rebel, we’re going to talk about Book Titles with Numbers in Them. See ya then!

    1. I’ve been eagerly waiting for that book since I finished The Wicked King in January! When you finish that book, then you know what the title’s about!

  2. You managed your whole summer TBR – cool! 😃
    I have tried and failed to read “This savage song” about five times now, started it, read a few chapters and put it away again, so I really hope you have more luck and fun with this book. 😃

    1. Haha. I love these TBRs because it helps me prioritize what I want to read. There are just way too many books out there I want to read! Good luck with your TBR.

    1. Yeah, the first time I heard of Ninth House I knew I wanted it too. I finally convinced my husband to convince us to get a certain amount of our own spending money every month. Now I don’t have to feel bad or ask permission to buy books.

    1. You’ll have to read them both! I flew through The Wicked King… I think I finished it at about 2 AM on release day (okay, technically it was the day after release day because it was after midnight, but since I hadn’t gone to sleep I count it as the same day). I’m glad you liked This Savage Song. I have I think 3 or 4 of her books already (I keep finding them on sale) and I haven’t read one yet, LOL.

  9. First all, I love Obsidian!! There is no mood or situation Daemon Black can’t make better for me 😄 And yay for reading Truthwitch!! That’s on my list for this fall. Are you following along with the author’s #TheLuminaries on Twitter? If you aren’t, I highly recommend checking it out. It’s the best part of my day each day. This Savage Song was very good!! I still need to go back and read the sequel, I keep getting distracted 🙈 Call Down the Hawk (Ronan Lynch 💕✨), Ninth House and the Beautiful are on my list, as well!! Although I’m still pumped for the Beautiful, I’ve heard that it’s not a “Vampire Book,” but merely set in a world where vampires exist, which disappointed some early readers. Best of luck for reading these!

    1. Yes, I vote in The Luminaries almost every day. I had the chance to read the beginning of The Beautiful on Bookish First; I’m okay with it not being a “Vampire Book”. I originally wasn’t interested because I thought it was a vampire book, but then I read the beginning.

  11. QoN and Ninth House made my list, too, because of course they must be read. All of my lists are tentative, but I’ve been doing pretty good with them so far. Happy reading!

    1. Yay! I refer back to these TBRs a lot over the season because otherwise another season could pass and I could end up saying again “Oh I really want to read that book!”

    1. This fall is going to be a great season for books! I hope you get the chance to read those, as well as the books on your TBR!

  16. I also have Rebel, Call Down the Hawk, and Queen of Nothing preordered (although, Queen of Nothing didn’t make it onto my list today because I didn’t start the series until after I made my list)! I hope you like your first Schwab book! Enjoy your fall reading!

  19. Thanks! That is a great cover. I’m looking forward to those books so much! Well, there’s quite a few of these books I’m really looking forward to.

    1. Thank you! I can’t believe we’re so close to Rebel’s release, and when I wake up tomorrow morning, it’ll be the day my book downloads (really late, but still). I hope you love your fall books too.
