Top Ten Tuesday | Books on My Fall 2024 TBR

Posted September 23, 2024 by Haze in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Book Memes / 44 Comments

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.

Today’s topic is Books on My Fall 2024 To-Read List

Some of these books have been on my list since the beginning of the year. Heck, some of them have been on my list since last year… and way before. It distresses me that I haven’t read them, the older ones in particular. I’m going to really try to get them done this fall!

Top Ten Books on My Fall 2024 TBR

  1. The Glass Chateau by Stephen P. Kiernan – This is the one I most want to prioritize. I’ve had it on my TBR the moment it was announced, before it was even published, and I was so excited when it was released. I love the author and I have no doubt I’ll love this book, but I just haven’t gotten around to it for some reason.
  2. The Storm We Made by Vanessa Chan – Malaysian author, Malaysian setting, Malaysian reader (me!). I must read it!
  3. Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson – I have been wanting to read this for a while now. You know it caught my attention with a title like that.
  4. Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman – Everyone keeps recommending this as one of the best series you can listen to on audiobook, but I’m hesitating because I listened to a sample and I’m not sure I like the narration, so I’m waffling between getting it on print vs. audiobook. So many people can’t be wrong about the audio, right? But what if they are?!
  5. Never Whistle At Night by various authors – This is relatively new to my TBR but I really want to read it because I wanted to read more diverse books this year, and I love folklore and not whistling at night is also a superstition in my own culture.
  6. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot – A much older book that I’ve been wanting to read for a long time. Part of why I also signed up for a nonfiction reading challenge this year.
  7. Between Us by Mhairi McFarlane – I love the author’s works, but I don’t consider them light-hearted romance because they often have heavier themes and not so traditional HEAs, so I do need to be in a certain mindset to read them.
  8. The Keeper of Hidden Books by Madeline Martin – Another author I love, but much, much heavier stories. I read two of them very close to each other earlier this year, and I needed a break before I jump back into another one.
  9. The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer – I don’t even remember how I heard about this book but I was so excited about it, and it’s also a bookish book!
  10. The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins – Another bookish book I’ve been wanting to read. The things people say about it make me very curious!

Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?

    With the exception of Mhariri’s, I don’t think I’m familiar with any of these. It’s good to know her books tend to be heavier though since I too have to be in the right mindset to read a “heavy” contemporary, especially if I’m expecting fun and rom-com-y. 🙂

    The title drew me to Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. And it did not disappoint. It was one of my favorite reads last year. I still need to read the second one, and a Christmas one is also coming out this year.

    I’ve read Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone but I didn’t really like any of the characters, which is probably the point, but I prefer liking at least one person! I might try the second book because the premise sounds fantastic.

      Oh no! I’m a character-driven reader so I definitely prefer having characters I like, but as long as they are interesting, I’m good too! I hope you enjoy the second one better!

    So you have books haunting you? So do I, LOL! I haven’t looked back at my summer list to see if I even read from it…sigh. And, the books on my list today have not been carried over from previous lists, so the previous lists have completely slipped my mind…all the unread books haunt us…LOL! Enjoy your week.

    I’ver read two: Henrietta Lacks which is interesting and something I’d never even thought about before … and I also read the Vanessa Chan novel. It gave me an idea of what Malaysia went thru in WWII … the mother in the story is dark, whoa! The author might have stuffed too much into it with every family member but it is anxiety inducing.

      Oh wow, your description of Vanessa Chan’s book is making me very curious and apprehensive about reading it! Curiosity is definitely winning out!
