Top Ten Books on My Autumn TBR list

TTT is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

I know everyone in the northern hemisphere is doing their spring TBR list which sounds cooler, but here in Australia, we're heading into the cooler seasons so I had to adjust my title accordingly. Once again, I feel like this is going to be my shelf of shame as some of these books were also featured in a previous post - top ten popular authors I've never read. Anyhow, let's just get this list up and out.

1. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

Yes, I know, what is wrong with me? Why haven't I read this book yet?! I don't know the answer to that either. But I'm definitely aiming to get this read in Autumn.

2. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak


You don't need to say anything. I feel the shame already. I've made a start earlier this month and I will finish this, I promise.

3. A Game of Thrones series by G.R.R. Martin

I need more high fantasy saga in my life and everyone has been raving about this series. I know there's going to be a lot of deaths in this series but hopefully, I'll be prepared.

4. Pivot Point & Split Second by Kasie West

I have heard such good things about this series. The premise sounds really interesting, and the excerpts I've heard book bloggers and booktubers quote just makes me really excited. I can't wait to get started on these.

5. Prodigy and Champion by Marie Lu

I read Legend at the beginning of the year and I absolutely loved it. The only reason I didn't move immediately was because I wanted to give the dystopian genre a rest and chose to read The Silver Linings Playbook. I really want to get back to this world.

6. Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

At the time of typing this post (which is a few days before Tuesday), I am in the middle of Anna and the French Kiss and so far, I'm really enjoying it. I think the people on the train all think I'm a bit crazy whenever I giggle or visibly cringe as I read on the commute to and from work.

7. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith

I got this book awhile ago and I've been meaning to make a start on it. I just got distracted ... by other shining books. But I'll come back to this soon, I promise!

8. Delirium Series by Lauren Oliver

Another series I've heard amazing things about and that I want to get into. I think it's dystopian? But from the book summary, it seems some of fantasy as well. I guess I'll find out when I read the books!

9. Graceling by Kristin Cashore

Another book I've heard a lot of good things about. I genuinely don't know much about this series but I want to give it a try.

10. The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

I've ready to fill the Sarah Dessen hole in my reading experience. I heard this is one of her best works and comes highly recommended.

So that's my top ten books on my autumn TBR list. Clearly, I cheated as there's actually more than ten books mentioned on this list but I reckon those belonging to a series can be grouped under one. :P

What's on your spring/autumn TBR list? Leave a comment/link down below and I'll be sure to check it out!

  1. I too have not yet read Champion and including it on my list this week. I loved both Delirium and Lola and The Boy Next Door, but I didn't love Fault in Our Stars all that much. While i've read Kasie Wests contemporary book I haven't read Pivot Point, and I really need to!
    Great list!

  2. TFiOS and Pivot Point are awesome! I have to say I didn't like the Truth about forever, but I generally don't like Sarah Dessen books... Hop you enjoy all of them!

    1. Thank you :) I haven't given Sarah Dessen a try yet so I'm curious as to what her writing is like. I've heard some raves about her as well as a couple of disappointed readers so I thought I might give her a go.

  5. I've been intending to read Pivot Point, Delirium and Legend for a long time now, but never get around to it. Another book ends up catching my eye and I get distracted! Great list!

  8. There are so many good books on your list! The Book Thief and TFIOS are both great, and I really loved Graceling when I read it. And Lola and the Boy Next Door is even cuter than Anna, so I hope you enjoy it.

    1. Ooh, I just finished reading Anna and the French Kiss. Can't wait for book #2 if it's even cuter :)

  9. A lot of the books you mentioned are on my TBR list as well, although I have some of them and have had them for a while. They are in my TBR jar so I'm sure to read them sometime soon.
    Graceling and The Book Thief were both excellent reads! I hope that you make it through your Spring TBR list.

  10. The Book Thief and The Fault in Our Stars are probably two of the most difficult books I've read emotional in recent years.

    I found George Martin's series far easier to listen to, but I did have to watch the show before I even could tackle the books. He gets the political intrigue and relationships, but describing people is not a strong suit of his, IMO. I'm ahead of the show right now by 1 book.

  12. What a great list! Graceling, The Fault in Our Stars, The Book Thief, The Truth About Forever, Prodigy and Champion, Game of Thrones and Lola and the Boy Next Door are all amazing books. I am jealous that you get to read them all for the first time.
