This week for Top Ten Tuesday, I have four books that I'm looking forward to reading this fall. Of course I could have listed like a hundred books here (have you seen my rapidly growing TBR list??) but I wanted to create a more realistic goal for myself. With my plunge into the ARC world, I haven't been reading as many published books as before.
Without further ado, here are four books that I hope to get to this fall.
This YA novel caught my eye with its promises of blending Egyptian mythology with a fast paced plot.
My Life in France by Julia Child
How have I not read this yet?? I loved the movie Julia and Julie (the book? not so much) and I'm excited to learn more about Julia Child's life.
Abundant Beauty by Marianne North
I actually heard about this author while reading a different book (A Curious Beginning, review to come!). She was mentioned in the same breath as Isabella Bird, a female author who traveled solo through the American West in the late 1800s. I had just finished Bird's book, thoroughly loving it, and was looking for other amazing female trailblazers both metaphorically and literally. I'm looking forward to checking out this novel about Marianne North, who traveled the world studying botany in the late 1800s.
A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas
This book, inspired quite heavily by the Sherlock Holmes series, features a female Sherlock Holmes and really could go one of two ways. It could be super interesting and well done, or an awkward imitation of a great novel. Either way, I'm excited to give it a go.
And that's it! What about you? What are you fall must-reads??
