THE TEN TITLES on my FALL 2023 TBR
If I were the lazy sort of book list creator (and let’s be real, I am close to being so often), I could probably “copy and paste” the opening of almost any TBR list because it’s pretty much the same from season to season. It’s always about the lament of never reading the books I curate but that these lists are fun nonetheless. I still stand by this as we go into our fall 2023 TBR list. It’s the same in a repeat kind of way.

🍁🍂THE TEN TITLES on my FALL 2023 TBR🍂🍁 Talking the books I hope to read (but likely won't) this #FallSeason. #Fall #Autumn #FallReading #FallTBR #TBR #Books #Reader #Reading #Readers #TopTen #TopTenList #BookList #TopTenTuesday Share on XRegardless of the challenge that is a: I’m still not reading (at least very little) and b: even when I am reading, I still rarely read the list I create, I think putting one together is fun. It’s just cool to see books on a list and find ones that “feel” seasonally atmospheric. Let’s dive in and see which ones (likely repeats!) make this list.
FALL 2023 TBR LIST
A ROYAL CHRISTMAS, MELODY CARLSON
This one was kindly sent to me by Revell, the publisher. I don’t know much about it, but it’s a short (page count) read and it (obviously) has the royal trope, so I’m hoping it’s a good read. Goodreads
THE BLONDE IDENTITY, ALLY CARTER
Just seems like it would be a fun read. Goodreads
JANE and EDWARD, MELODIE EDWARDS
Just preceding its release this novel was getting some hype on social media, and since I read another Jane Eyre re-telling several years ago that I did enjoy, I thought this one deserved a chance. Goodreads
THE VANISHING STAIR, MAUREEN JOHNSON
Pretty sure I’ve had this one on multiple TBR posts, and probably mostly the fall one. I read Truly Devious (though I never reviewed it which is odd) a few years ago and did enjoy it. Time I read the other novels in the series. Goodreads
THE HOUSEMAID, FREIDA MCFADDEN
Everyone and their mother has been reading this one on Instagram. I don’t think it’s going to be a me read, but I saw it on a store shelf and sort of backpedaled into the old me by caving to the hype. Goodreads
THE DO-OVER, LYNN PAINTER
I cannot remember what drew me to this novel, but it looks really cute and for some reason, it’s giving me “fall reading.” Goodreads
THE MAID, NITA PROSE
Pretty sure this one has been on my seasonal TBRs, too. Goodreads
GHOSTED, AMANDA QUAIN
I mean the title pretty much says it all, right? But since I cannot leave it at that, I’ll also say, this is a re-telling of Northanger Abbey. Goodreads
PRETTY LITTLE PIECES, CARMEN SCHOBER
I did enjoy Carmen’s After She Falls, so since I have this one on my bookshelf it seems a good one to add to a fall TBR. Plus it’s quite different than her debut so I’m curious. Goodreads
THE COMEBACK SEASON, JENNIFER E. SMITH
For some reason, Jennifer’s books, even though they’re contemporary always seem like “fall” to me. This one is about baseball but still it just has that “fall” affect to me. Goodreads

Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl September 19: Books on My Fall 2023 To-Read List
I’ve heard nothing but great things about The Maid. Happy reading!
I’m hearing good things too, Lauren! Hoping it lives up to that. :)
I actually just read Jane and Edward, and I liked it!
Well this is awesome to hear! So glad it’s a good read, Angela. I saw some hype for it back when it released and even though I haven’t read it yet, I’m curious about it AND its sequel. ;)
Pretty Little Pieces sounds good.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I think so too! Hoping it is. :)
I read A ROYAL CHRISTMAS recently and enjoyed it. I hope you like it as well!
It is sweet, isn’t it, Kristi!? (I posted this up before I started to read it.) Definitely a charming story and really great for anyone looking for a fun gift for a book lover, too! :)
I’m curious about The Maid, too.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Same… as I’m realizing because I’m “repeat” shared it a few too many times. ;)
The Housemaid was fun! Not my usual type of thriller, but it’s the reading equivalent of eating a big bag of popcorn. Enjoy your reading!
Thanks so much and good to know about The Housemaid! :)
The Do-Over is so fun! I hope you love it.
I’m so glad to hear this, Deanna. :) It sure does seem like one I’d like.
I feel like a lot of people are reading Lynn Painter at the moment! I haven’t read anything by her but I really want to.
Same! That’s likely why I picked up a couple of hers because I’m seeing them so many places. :)
You’ve got some great picks here! I love the Truly Devious series. It’s great for Fall reading. I also really liked THE MAID and am looking forward to the sequel which is coming out soon. THE BLONDE IDENTITY sounds like a fun read. Carter’s books always are. I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT!

Thanks so much, Susan. I’m glad to hear which of these you enjoyed. I too am curious about the sequel to The Maid and I haven’t even read it yet! :)
Love the variety of books here, I’ve not read any of them but love the sound of A Royal Christmas x
We do love a cute Christmas-y read. :)
The Do-Over is a fun read, it’s basically Groundhog Day but set on Valentine’s Day. I hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the chance.

I also like the idea of a Valentine’s Day themed read. We always get so many Christmas novels, but sometimes the other holidays (that would make a fun backdrop) get lost. :)
I’ve only heard of a couple of these but it sounds like you have some great reading ahead this fall. I hope you enjoy all of these books.
Thanks, Sarah! I hope so too. :)
I have not read any of these. I looked at Melody Carlson’s book but wasn’t interested. Not sure if it was because I am just not ready for Christmas yet, or what. I hope you enjoy the ones you do get to.
I know I’m never ready for Christmas anything this time of year, Cindy. ;) But I do sometimes read a book or watch a Christmas movie around this time because that’s when promotion for those sorts of things begin. Plus I usually create lists centered on seasonal things and you have to start that earlier than I’m ready.
I understand that!! I never get posts out early, so that doesn’t apply to me, LOL!
I never used to either. But I’ve been trying to more recently. ;)
Pretty Little Pieces sounds really good!
Very interesting list! I hope you enjoy all these books. 😀
Thanks so much, Nicole! I hope so too.
The Do-over is a fun and cute read. Enjoy all those books :)
I agree. So fun! :)
This looks like a great list! I’ve also got The Maid by Nita Prose on my list too – it got so much hype and it felt like I was the only person who didn’t read it. I hope you enjoy your autumn, whether you are reading or not. 🎃
I’m glad to not be the only person who hasn’t read it yet! ;) It does sound perfectly fall-ish and thank you! You too, Leah. I hope you have a great new season.
I haven’t read any of these, but The Maid is on my TBR. Happy reading!
YAY! Hope we both enjoy “The Maid,” Lisa. :)
