Time to set aside the beach reads — fall/spooky season is here! Reading is one of my favorite hobbies all year long, but I love, love, love reading in the “ber” months (cooler weather and cozy couch reading, yes please). After a slow couple months of summer reading, I’m looking forward to a new season of heart-racing thrillers, mysteries, witchy fiction and other romances, and maybe even a horror novel or two (gasp — definitely outside my comfort zone but ‘tis the season). Here’s a list of 10 books I’m hoping to read this fall.

Book Thoughts: Thursday Murder Club Series Review (Books 1-3)

Trouble is never far away where the Thursday Murder Club is concerned, and I can’t get enough! Featuring three installments (The Thursday Murder Club (4 stars), The Man Who Died Twice (5 stars), and The Bullet That Missed (5 stars)) with a fourth set to release this week (The Last Devil to Die — out September 19, 2023), the Thursday Murder Club is an entertaining cozy mystery series that offers a fresh, fun take on the crime fiction and thriller genres. When I stumbled upon and started reading the first book a couple years ago, I had no idea I was about to immerse myself in what would become one of my favorite fictional worlds, solving crimes and cold case murders in the Jigsaw Room at Cooper’s Chase Retirement Facility with my septuagenarian friends Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron (aka the Thursday Murder Club).

Weekly Recap: Mogul's 5th Gotcha Day, Labor Day Weekend, and My First Starbucks PSL (Like Ever)!

Now that we’re well into September (how???), I have to say, HAPPY FALL YA’LL (I can see Alex now, reading this, rolling his eyes, and mumbling: “Fall doesn’t start until September 23 this year, it’s not fall!” — FALSE, fall is September and September is fall). The past couple weeks have been equal parts busy, overwhelming, tiring, and fun. I’m hoping for a better, calmer week, but let’s see how that goes (positive attitude Jen, positive attitude).
