Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
These are some of the books I hope to check out this fall. Some of them are already available, while others haven’t been published yet.
1. A Lot Like Adios by Alexis Daria
Why: It seems lighthearted and fun.
X
2. Unearthed: A Jessica Cruz Story by Lilliam Rivera
Why: My immigration story is quite different from this one, but I enjoy reading about other people’s experiences with moving to other countries.
3.
A Dark and Starless Forest by Sarah Hollowell
Why: Raise your hand if you’re a little creeped out by but also fascinated by forests! I hope I’m not the only Top Ten Tuesday participant who has that mixture of emotions about the woods and what might be hidden in them.
4. Rosie the Truffle Hound by Jessie Hartland
Why: It looks adorable.
5. The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
Release Date: September 28
Why: I’ve read very few books about Jewish protagonists and am trying to expand my horizons. The idea of someone writing Christmas romance novels when they don’t actually celebrate that holiday also interests me!
6. Jade Fire Gold by June C.L. Tan
Release Date: October 12
Why: So many of the Top Ten Tuesday bloggers we visit each week have been raving about this book. You have all convinced me to give it a try.
7. Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World (Aristotle and Dante, #2) by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Release Date: October 12
Why: I’m hoping I will remind myself to finally read the first book in this series if I include the second on in this list. That’s how it works, right? 🙂
8. Comfort Me with Apples by Catherynne M. Valente
Release Date: October 26
Why: Those of you who have been following Long and Short Reviews for a long time might remember my affinity for zany titles. I’m often the first reviewer here to request books whose titles are wacky, funny, or unusual, so the title of Comfort Me With Apples grabbed my attention immediately.
9.
Spin Me Right Round by David Valdes
Release Date: November 2
Why: I grew up in a community that wasn’t very welcoming for LGBT+ people, but I can’t imagine how much worse it was in the 1980s. It will be fascinating to compare life in the 1980s with my memories as well as with how it is in the current era.
10.
Coming Clean: A true story of love, addiction and recovery by Liz Fraser
Release Date: November 30
Why: I have a relative who drank dangerous amounts of alcohol and nearly died because of it. He has since done an incredible job of getting and staying sober. This experience has given me a soft spot for people who are struggling with addictions as well as relatives of people with this problem. Learning about other people’s struggles with it is a great way to combat the loneliness of this experience.
Jade Fire Gold looks so good, I can’t wait for it to be released!
I hope we both like it!
Catherynne M. Valente is so varied in what she writes!
She sure is.
Ooh, yes, I have my eyes on Comfort Me with Apples too! I really love Valente’s work. The wait is long though. 🙁 And you’re right — Rosie the Truffle Hound does seem adorable!
I hope you like Comfort Me with Apples. I saw it on a few different lists this week.
I’m excited to read A Lot Like Adios, too! I’ve read Jade Fire Gold and enjoyed it.
I hope you love all these books when you get to them! 🙂
Thank you! It’s wonderful that you liked Jade Fire Gold so much.
Jade , Fire Gold looks good!
I’m glad you think so!
I’m Jewish and yes, there aren’t enough Jewish holiday themed books but… this one sounds a bit… silly. No matter, I’m sure it will be fun. (By the way, my friend wrote three Jewish holiday themed books – the first one was for Hanukkah which she called Chanukah Guilt – a murder mystery with a female rabbi doing the investigations. The other two, Unleavened Dead (for Passover) and Yom Killer (for Yom Kippur) were also fun!) I reviewed them all on my blog.
Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll look them up.
This looks like such a great list! I am so intrigued by A Dark and Starless Forest!
Thank you! I hope you like A Dark and Starless Forest.
I think I’m in on the Matzah Ball!
Here’s my list—https://fiftytwo.blog/2021/09/21/ttt-ten-books-im-looking-forward-to-this-fall/
Happy TTT!
Awesome! I just dropped by to say hello on your post.
I agree with #10. We actually have a number of alcoholics in my family and it’s just so devastating to watch them self-destruct. Thankfully, several of them have been able to get sober, but there are others who are still in the thralls of the disease. I should read this book to get a better understanding of what they’re going through. Thanks for the heads-up!
Happy TTT!

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. It’s a difficult experience for loved ones to go through for sure (as well as the person struggling with alcohol addiction, of course).
I hope that book helps you.
Jade Fire Gold sounds so good! And I totally agree that forests are creepy!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds them scary!
Great list. I hope you enjoy these!

Pretty sure I’ve seen Jean’s show up on a few others lists or on Goodreads, so it’s one I should take a closer look at. I’m all always for Christmas-y reads. Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland on this week.
Pretty cool! And you’re welcome. 🙂
