Happy Fall, Ya’all! We are inching closer and closer to the end of 2020! Is anyone else wanting to celebrate that?
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is about our Fall reading lists.
Here’s what’s on my Autumn list. Some of these are ARCs that are on my review list, some of these are from favorite authors. As usual with my TTT posts, it’s a hodgepodge.
- Thinking & Eating by The School of Life. I love this cover and can’t wait to really dig into this cookbook/philosophy book. It weirdly makes sense.
- Questions of Perspective by Daniel Maunz. According to the author, this is Metaphysical fiction—contemporary fiction with a speculative element, which gets a bit philosophical (not in a heavy handed way). There’s quests, the voice of God, and a thirty-year-old cat involved.
- A Borrowed Life by Kerry Anne King. This one is an “emotional and sharply witty novel about how life’s unexpected detours can ultimately bring you home.”
- Murder in the Piazza by Jen Collins Moore. This is an amateur detective story that is smart and fun. It’s for mystery fans who enjoy a good puzzle in an armchair-travel-worthy destination. It’s a traditional mystery with a heavy dose of Italy and food culture. The ambiance of Rome and the food of Italy are some of the pleasures of reading this book!
- What to Eat When Cookbook by This inspiring cookbook/strategic eating plan–sequel to the wildly popular What to Eat When–offers 125 delectable recipes geared to longevity, weight loss, and success.”
- A Frenzy of Sparks by Kristen Fields. This one is upmarket women’s fiction. From the author: “A FRENZY OF SPARKS is a deeply personal story for me. It was inspired by family history. Readers who like books that lean literary and enjoy emotional family stories, books like WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING or EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU, they would probably like this one too.”
- Secret Book & Scone Society by Ellery Adams. This is the next Cook the Books selection. Check soon for more information here.
- Eat a Peach: A Memoir by David Chang. I’m waiting to order this one but rest assured it will be on my fall list.
- Paris Never Leaves You by Ellen Feldman. I just won this title from The Book Club Cookbook. Here’s the blurb: Living through World War II working in a Paris bookstore with her young daughter, Vivi, and fighting for her life, Charlotte is no victim, she is a survivor. But can she survive the next chapter of her life? Alternating between wartime Paris and 1950s New York publishing, Ellen Feldman’s Paris Never Leaves You is an extraordinary story of resilience, love, and impossible choices, exploring how survival never comes without a cost.
- The Best of Me by David Sedaris. I pre-ordered this as soon as I was able, but I will have to wait for November 30 before it ships. 🙁 I cannot wait!!!!!!!
This is a very interesting list, Deb. I am adding both Thinking & Eating by The School of Life and What to Eat When Cookbook to my list. Thanks for sharing!
You know I love a good cookbook!
Looks like you have a nice variety of books on your Fall TBR list. I hope you enjoy all of them!
Happy TTT!

I think they will all be enjoyable for certain.
Thinking & Eating sounds great!
My post .
I haven’t tried any recipes yet and I’m not sure how sound the premise is, but it is interesting.
I hope you get to read all of these this fall and that they bring you joy.
I should have most of them read by Thanksgiving (I hope)!
Great list. _Thinking & Eating_ sounds interesting. And David Chang is such a great cook — love his recipes. And I’m always up for any mystery-type book.
It is interesting and really, parts of it does make sense (in a weird way).
Murder in the Piazza sounds like something I need. Armchair traveling would be fun and I love Italian food.
I’m looking forward to all of these “to be reviewed” books.
You made me curious so I read the amazon page on “Thinking and Eating.” It makes me a little suspicious that it’s just another one of those pop psychology things where they essentially tell your fortune by some external characteristic and give you advice on self-improvement. I’ll be interested in your review!

Review coming up soon, Mae.
