Honestly, these seasonal TBR posts are my favorite topics from Top Ten Tuesday. Don’t tell the other bloggers here at Long and Short Reviews, but I try to request those weeks as soon as they appear. 🙂
I have two fellow Top Ten Tuesday bloggers to thank for introducing me to certain books on this list, so stay tuned for that as well. As usual, I will share the publication dates for titles that aren’t quite yet available to read.
1. Twig’s Travelling Tomes by Griffin Murphy
Thank you to Carrie @ Reading With a Griffin for recommending this title.
Why I Want to Read It: It looks adorable.
2. Taipei Story by R.F. Kuang
Why I Want to Read It: Trying to become bilingual is hard work, and I enjoy books about that subject.
3. Exit Party byEmily St. John Mandel
Why I Want to Read It: Once I read Station Eleven, she was added to my list of must-read authors.
4. Hollow Bones by Jodi Picoult
Why I Want to Read It: Enough time has passed now for me to enjoy books about 9/11 on occasion.
5. American Hagwon by Min Jin Lee
Release Date: September 29
Why I Want to Read It: This is a chapter in history I know almost nothing about, but I’d like to change that.
6. The Unhaunting by Micaiah Johnson
Release Date: September 29
Why I Want to Read It: Halloween will be here before we know it, so I need to start digging up some scary reads.
7. Every Story Is a Love Story by Imbolo Mbue
Release Date: October 6
Why I Want to Read It: Forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation, of course, but I like it when authors explore the differences between these two concepts as they try to figure out just how much their characters are capable of doing.
8. Castles: A Fortified History of the World by Dan Jones
Thank you to Sifa Elizabeth @ Sifa Elizabeth Reads for recommending this title!
Release Date: October 8
Why I Want to Read It: I must confess that I wanted to live in a castle when I was a kid. Reading about how and why they were made is the next best thing.
(This book cover was too large to load).
9. Dreamweaving by O.O. Sangoyomi
Release Date: October 13
Why I Want to Read It: Autumn needs a little dark academia if you ask me.
10. Whale Harbor by Mary Beth Keane
Release Date: November 3
Why I Want to Read It: Genealogy-themed mysteries are the best if you ask me because I can think of two mysteries in my family tree that nobody has ever been able to solve. One involved a disabled child who disappeared from home one night and was never seen again. Another one involved an ancestor who was by all accounts a kind and loving husband and father who refused to tell the family anything at all about his past. Since I’ll probably never know what really happened to these two people, the next best thing is to read about other family mysteries that will hopefully be solved!
I’m so excited for castle! I hope you enjoy it too!
Thank you. Happy reading to you as well!
Ohh, The Castle should be good. Frances and Joseph Gies have a social history of European castles if that’s of any interest. Taipei Story has a beautiful cover!
Here’s hoping you enjoy both of those titles. 🙂
OOh nice ones! These are all entirely new to me reads! I hope you enjoy them all this fall!
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
You’re welcome. Happy reading to you as well.
Happiest fall tbr reading! Hope you enjoy these all and find some new favorites among these. Thanks so much for visiting my list today.
You’re quite welcome! Happy reading to you as well.
I hope you enjoy all of these when you get a chance to read them. Have a good week!
The Unhauntng is on my TBR too! I adored her debut sci-fi so im interested to see how she handles horror!
I hope we both love it!
My family history is full of mysteries (for example, my maternal great-grandfather changed his last name; no idea why or what it was before). I hope you enjoy reading all of these.
Here’s my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/autumn-2026-tbr-ten-books-i-hope-to-read/
Oh, that’s fascinating! Thank you for sharing. I love hearing this sort of stuff.
I haven’t read a Jodi Picoult book in a long time. I want to get back to her books and this looks good. Enjoy your reading!
Honestly, same here. 🙂
I definitely plan to get to Taipei Story, American Hagwon & Exit Party at some point.
May you enjoy them!
I’ve seen Taipei Story around. Hope you enjoy it and the rest of your fall TBR!
Thank you. Yes, it was on a lot of lists this past week.
A great list. Twigs Traveling Tomes has become my favourite read of the year. I absolutely loved it. I also got the sprayed edge hardback when it came out 😂
Have a great week!
I’m so glad to hear that!
I hope you enjoy all of these books. Twigs Traveling Tomes is a great book, perfect cozy read.
Thanks for checking out my post. Hope you have a wonderful week!
You’re quite welcome. I’m glad you liked that title.
Twigs Traveling Tomes is adorable, I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
You’re welcome, and that’s great!
I’m excited for HOLLOW BONES, too. I love Jodi Picoult! I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

She’s written some very interesting books for sure. 🙂
I also enjoy the seasonal TBR posts on TTT, the inevitably help mine grow! Twig’s Traveling Tomes is also on my radar, it looks so sweet 🙂 Ohh The Castle sounds great, I’m a big fan of Dan Jones’ podcast This Is History and yet I haven’t read any of his books yet! I need to add it to my tbr, thanks for sharing that! 🙂
Here’s my TTT for this week:https://darkshelfofwonders.com/top-10-books-i-want-to-read-this-fall/
You’re welcome. Happy reading!
I love seasonal TBRs too. Too bad I’m terrible at actually reading the books. I always get distracted by other books!
Honestly, I have the same problem.
What an interesting and varied list! The Castle sounds especially intriguing to me.
Thank you. I like reading all sorts of different books.
I won a copy of Exit Party so I need to find time to read that one!
That’s wonderful. I hope you enjoy it.
Sorry I’m behind, I was on a work trip all last week! Taipei Story by R.F. Kuang looks so cute! I love that cover.
No worries. I hope you like that title!
