Top Ten Tuesday-- Fall To-Read List.

Fall is an exciting for me and books. While I read the most during the summer, some of my favorite authors release new books in the fall!  Plus, I still have stacks of books from the library that I didn't get to during the summer to read in the next few months.  There are so many books I want to read before the year is over!  In no particular order, here are the top 10 books on my fall To-Be-Read list:
 

1. 8 Sandpiper Way by Debbie Macomber-- I am desperate to finish the Cedar Cove Series.  I've really slowed down reading these books because they've become a bit tedious with more and more additional characters.  But I've read seven of twelve, and darn it, I will finish them all!

2. The Competition by Marcia Clark-- I've read the first three Rachel Knight books this summer and LOVED them.  The only reason I haven't finished this one yet is because it's currently the last one.  So I'm holding off as long as I can, but it won't be long before I get back to it. 

3. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah-- The reviews surrounding this book have been phenomenal.  I'm very much looking forward to reading this one! 

4. The Crossing by Michael Connelly-- Hands down, my favorite fiction author, is Michael Connelly.  I anxiously await every fall when his new books are released, and I'm so excited for another Harry Bosch/ Mickey Haller crossover this November! 

5. Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham-- Another author whose books are always must-reads for me.  I can't wait to pick up this one in October. 

6. The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo-- After finishing all of the Harry Bosch series last year, I needed another detective series to read.  And Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series has filled that spot wonderfully.  Since they are translated from Norwegian, sometimes the stories aren't the smoothest, but they are still fantastic.  The Redbreast is next up for me from the library.

7. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins--  I started to read this book a few months ago but wasn't very into it.  But I am determined to finish it this time once I get it from the library after waiting months in the 700+ person queue...

8. Killing Monica by Candace Bushnell-- I've never read a book by Candace Bushnell, so I'm not sure what prompted me to get this one from the library.  There are some very bad reviews about the end of this book, so I think it's mostly curiosity that makes me determined to pick this one up soon. 

9.  Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella-- Most YA books are not my cup of tea.  But I love Sophie Kinsella (outside of the Shopaholic books), so I'm hoping that this one will be as cute and fun as her adult stories. 

10.  Desiring God by John Piper-- This book has been on my to-read list for almost a year.  It stares at me from my bookshelf.  I will read it by the end of this year!
