Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Fall 2019 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and the meme moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. This week's Top Ten Tuesday asks bloggers to list their top ten books on their fall TBRs. The following titles are in no particular order.

1. Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and illustrated by Wendy Xu is a graphic novel about a teenage witch who works at a bookstore within New England. Also, she ends up reuniting with a childhood friend unexpectedly when she finds out that he is a werewolf. Yes, please! It's everything I want in a graphic novel!

2. Our Wayward Fate by Gloria Chao is on my definitely TBR list after I read American Panda and heard about this novel coming out. Ali is the only Asian person at her school in the middle-of-nowhere in Indiana until one day the new kid arrives. The new kid happens to be Taiwanese, just like her. Her parents don't approve of the relationship and that's when Ali finds out some secrets about her family.

3. Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell is the sequel to Carry On. Who doesn't want to read more about Simon and Baz? No spoilers but if you've read Fangirl, you will know that Carry On is the fanfiction that Cath wrote. Rowell came out with the Carry On story in book format and readers can now get their hands off the continuation of Carry On.

4. Song of the Crimson Flower by Julie C. Dao takes place in the same realm as Forest of a Thousand Lanterns. It is about a poor physician's apprentice and a wealthy nobleman's daughter. The apprentice confesses his love to the nobleman's daughter and she shoos him away but later regrets it. However, the apprentice's soul becomes trapped in a flute due to a curse. Ony his true love can free him. I am ready to immerse myself into Dao's fairytale world again!

5. Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw is about haunted woods and witches! This will be an excellent read for the fall and winter months. First edition copies will have embossed book boards a la The Wicked Deep.

6. Becoming the Dark Prince by Kerri Maniscalco is a novella with Thomas Cresswell's point of view during the voyage on the RMS Eturia in Escaping from Houdini. For those who don't know, Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell is one of my favorite OTPs!

7. Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco is the fourth and last book in the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. The White City Devil is loose in Chicago's World's Fair and Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell are investigating the murders. I am currently reading this novel right now and I am in love!

8. The Star Sheperd by Dan Haring and MarcyKate Connolly is a middle-grade novel about a boy named Kyro, his dog and a baker's daughter. The trio live in a world where stars provide the light to keep the evil dark creatures away. The boy rescues falling stars just like his father who is a Star Sheperd. As the stars are falling in an alarming rate and to prevent the world plummeting into darkness, the trio must race to save the stars.

9. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern is Morgenstern's upcoming book that everyone is raving about. Zachary is a grad student in Vermont when a mysterious book is found in the stacks. A series of clues are found that leads him to a masquerade party and secret club in New York. This intriguing book is one of the most anticipated books coming out this year for most people and I can see why. I am very fortunate to get a ticket to attend the launch party on November 5th!

10. The Institute by Stephen King was released earlier this month and it sounds fantastic! Kids with special powers are sent to this facility and discover that the staff who work there are finding ways to extract these powers from the kids. The main character, Luke, is trying to find out way out but no one has ever escaped the Insitute before.

What books are you looking forward to this fall?
