Fall tends to be the one season where I read more than any other time throughout the year. Probably because Halloween is in the fall, and that's my absolute favorite! Also, the weather gets colder, and staying inside curled up with a good book is the best way to spend an afternoon or evening. 

I always reserve my fall for spooky books. I mean, I read spooky all year long, but I don't switch it up much during the fall, especially in October. And I have a massive TBR of thrillers and horror that I plan to read. Here's my top ten books I want to read this Fall:

1. Murder Game by Carrie Doyle
2. Haunted Hotels by Tom Ogden
3. Spooky Michigan  by S.E. Schlosser
4. The Sorority Murder by Allison Brennan
5. What Lives in the Woods by Lindsay Currie
6. The Collector & The Collected by K. R. Alexander 
7. It Came From the Garage (horror anthology with various authors)
8. Camp Sylvania by Julie Murphy
9. The Sleepover by Samantha King
10. The Shining by Stephen King (I've seen the movie but have never read the book)

This list will more than likely change, as I'm always finding new books to add to my TBR. And I might end up reading more than these 10 books this fall, but a lot of that will depend on how much reading I have to do for my day job. 

What's everyone else reading this fall?

I've picked up books in the past that I've been lukewarm about but was willing to give them a chance. Or books that have been over-hyped that aren't within my usual reading genres. There have been a few times when I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the book. This recently happened with Yellowface by R.F. Kuang.

Most of the time, though, if I DNF a book or put it down because I'm just not enjoying it, I almost never go back to it. I have way too many books I want to read and write, that I don't waste time on things that aren't bringing me joy. (Sorry to all my fellow authors if this comes off as a little harsh!)
