Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Top Ten Tuesday, but I always love these seasonal lists, so here I am! I’m not going to focus on books that I own, but rather the Fall 2021 book releases that are on my wish list. There will definitely be more than 10, but I assume you won’t mind. I’m going to share affiliate links from bookshop so if you purchase through any of them, you support independent bookstores and my blog, because I get a small % of all sales at no extra cost to you.
Books on My Fall 2021 To-read List
I’m also being a bit lazy and not putting these in order, but they are all books coming out before the end of the year.
Out October 5th
Wayland Maynard is just eight years old when he sees his father kill himself, finds a note that reads I am not who you think I am, and is left reeling with grief and shock.

Out November 16th
LOVE. LOSS. REDEMPTION. After a party, two men accidentally swap their jackets and are thrust into a most opportune meeting. In each other they find what they’ve been missing. Love. Companionship.

Out December 1st
Delightfully cheeky, unquestionably charming, and sometimes maddeningly naive, cloth mage Paul Gallagher is desperately trying to make a name for himself in a reimagined postwar London.

I didn’t mean to kill anyone.”
Out October 5th
So, I’ve written a book.
Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities (It’s a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!) I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand.

I have Voices From The Pandemic and the audio of Time Will Tell. I’m torn on whether I’d enjoy The Matzah Ball, and I don’t have the book so I haven’t read it!
