Fall. It’s the perfect time for leggings, riding boots, puffer vests, pumpkin everything, and books.
I love reading in the fall. There’s nothing better than curling up on the couch with a good book while I drink my salted caramel mocha.
So, what am I reading this fall? A lot, hopefully!
The Wicked Years Series by Gregory Maguire
Since it’s October, I figured now is the best time to read The Wicked Years. It’s the story of Oz’s Wicked Witch of the West–from her perspective. Intriguing? I think so.
I’ve seen the musical version of the first novel, but it’s been almost 10 years, so I don’t remember much of it.
Also, check out the colored edges of these books. Swoon.
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen
Another intriguing title, amirite?
A woman is divorced at 40 and is forced to move back in with her parents. In a Mennonite community. The reviews all talk about how hilarious it is, so I’m in.
Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
Now that I’m well into my capsule wardrobe, I feel like it’s safe to read this book. The movie is hilarious. It’s about a girl who can’t control her shopping habits and goes bankrupt.
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan
A few years ago I went to a used book sale with my friend KC and we (obviously) checked out the free box. She squealed (as KC does) and threw Will Grayson, Will Grayson into my bag. It was free because it’s an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) and therefore can’t be resold. Free John Green books for the win!
It’s the story of two boys named Will Grayson, and there are two authors: one who writes for each. Yes, please.
What’s on your fall reading list? Let me know in the comments!
Will Grayson, Will Grayson is great! I had it done in two or three days! It’s super entertaining!
Ooh that’s awesome to hear! That one will be the next one I read! 🙂
Let me know how you feel about everything you read! My October list includes finishing Devil in the White City, Persepolis and Dark Places.

I almost put Persepolis on this list! But I only have the first one and I don’t want to have to track down the second one at the library. Let me know what you think of it! Sean’s sister loved it.
Haha the confessions of a shopaholic sounds like a fun read! This month I want to finish reading The Martian, Come As You Are, and Miracle Morning. I’ll have to add the Will Grayson one to my list!
Oh man, The Martian is SO GOOD! I read it so fast. Enjoy!
That Confessions of a Shopaholic book looks awesome! And right up my alley ;P hehe
I’ll have to let you know how it is! 🙂
Oh some of these look really good! I’ve read the shopaholic series, and loved them, and the movie was good – but a bit disappointing compared to the books…
That’s good to know! I liked the movie, but I didn’t love it, so hopefully I’ll love the books like you did!
That last book sounds really interesting! I absolutely loved the Shopoholic series. The newest one just came out, so I NEED to read it. I actually named my son after the main character’s nickname because I read most of them while I was pregnant with him.
That’s awesome! I’ll let you know when I read it. 🙂
You’ve got some superb picks here. I instantly want to add all of them to my Goodreads list. Fall is such the perfect time for reading. Love it!
It is the best! Thanks for stopping by, Amanda!
All of these look interesting….I need to read actual books more.
Same! I’m excited to get started. 🙂
I’m going to add Will Grayson to my list. Maybe I just want to see how the two authors wrote it, HA
Haha, I thought the same thing! I think it’s a super awesome idea.
The Wicked Series sounds awesome! I had never heard of Will Grayson – thank you!
You’re welcome! I’ll let you know how it is! 🙂
