蜜柚直播

For our fall book club, we're leaning hard on the idea that books have magical powers to take us new places.听

Particularly places where leaves change colors, chilly breezes blow, and temperatures don't remain in the 90s when we wish autumn could just march in already.听

We can dream, right?听

Our next round of reads will be far more casual than our Summer Reading Challenge for Grown-Ups, which if you missed, is still worth checking out. Lots of great 蜜柚直播-inspired titles there.听

For a new season of reading, we recruited several 蜜柚直播 book people to recommend 10 titles with fall vibes. Because we are pretty done with 100-degree days.听

Read one or read them all听鈥� and then share your own "feels-like-fall" books in the Facebook group, . Post your mini-reviews and recommendations in the group as you go. We're in this together, people.听

So grab a book, sip that (thanks, ) and maybe, just maybe, we can all pretend it's actually autumn.听

搁别产别肠肠补听

础耻迟丑辞谤:听Daphne du Maurier

Who recommended it: Morgan Miller, owner

Why she recommended听it: "It has a fall feel because it takes place in a old mansion on the English coast that's haunted by the memory of its devious and beautiful former mistress, Rebecca de Winter. It's a chilling and an extremely entertaining, horror / mystery classic that will engross a reader in any season, but is especially perfect for fall. (Our Feminist Book Group happens to be reading this title for their Oct. 27th meeting, and anyone is welcome to join)."听

A Wind in the Door

Author: Madeleine L'Engle听

Who recommended it: Morgan Miller, Antigone Books owner

Why she recommended it: "I just started reading 'A Wind in the Door,' by Madeleine L'Engle, which is the book in the Time Quintet immediately following 'A听Wrinkle in Time.' I'm only a quarter of the way through, but it is definitely giving me a fall feeling. The Murry children are back-to-school after their initial adventures through time and space. The story begins with mysterious visitors in the vegetable garden and a dragon-like creature that can disguise itself in broad daylight as a flame, or as a gust of wind through a doorway..."

When the Lights Go Out

础耻迟丑辞谤:听Mary Kubica

Who recommended it: , 蜜柚直播 author

Why she recommended it: "I love curling up under a blanket with a good psychological thriller, and Mary Kubica's are among my favorites. I love her newest book 'When Lights Go Out,' about a woman trying to uncover the mystery of her past after her mother's death, while also plagued with relentless insomnia. Plus, the Chicago and Egg Harbor settings make me think of a chill in the air!"听

The Secret History听

础耻迟丑辞谤:听Donna Tartt

Who recommended it: , 蜜柚直播 author

Why she recommended it: "When I think about fall, I can't help thinking about school: The cycle of a new academic year beginning just as the seasons are winding down toward winter. 'The Secret History'听is a modern classic, ticking all the autumnal boxes: Cool weather, changing foliage, college classes, and, in this case, murder. (Maybe 'murder' isn't exactly autumnal, but it does make for a good read.) Now that I no longer have an听academic calendar to mark time by, I have to find those thrills and chills in books."

础耻迟丑辞谤:听Patrick Rothfuss

Who recommended it: Karen Greene, Pima County librarian

The Boy Who Drew Monsters

础耻迟丑辞谤:听Keith Donohue

Who recommended it: Karen Greene, Pima County librarian

Why she recommended it: "This is just a creepy story. So creepy that I could only read it during lunch with the lights on. And it just felt like a desolate, cold story, like you feel when fall hits and leaves fall off trees and the water is freezing and you just want to be warm inside. But there is no warm inside with this story."听

A River Runs Through It听听

础耻迟丑辞谤:听Norman Maclean

Who recommended it: , 蜜柚直播 author

Why she recommended it: "Even though the novella takes place in summer, it's the perfect book to enjoy while sipping hot apple cider. It's a story you experience more than read. I feel an ache in my heart the whole way through because the writing is so beautiful and the story is so sad. It captures a time and place and the love one can have for one's imperfect, ill-fated family. Whether or not you've seen the movie, treat yourself to this glorious novella. There is a wisdom and grace in this story that I have rarely found in other books."听

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society

础耻迟丑辞谤:听Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

Who recommended it: This Is 蜜柚直播 staff

Why we recommended it:听"The Guernsey Book" as we've taken to calling it, is kind of cycling through our staff right now. If you're sick of 90-degree temps, this book will transport you to a small island in the English Channel just after World War II. The characters are charming and the small town is dreamy听鈥� a perfect formula for the warm fuzzies we long for in the fall. Plus, there's a Netflix adaptation. Bonus.
