Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We’d love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
This Week’s Theme: Ten Books That Are On my Autumn TBR
Well, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve participated in a TTT. I wasn’t even going to post this, but I was inspired by everyone else’s post so here we are! My TBR is insane so there’s a ton of books I haven’t mentioned here. These are just a handful of upcoming releases or backlist books that I’d like to get to! Obviously, I changed Spring to Autumn because #SouthernHemisphereLife 🇦🇺.
Fun Fact: The first TTT I ever participated in was for your Spring/Autumn TBR! I’m not even going to look at that post though because I guarantee I read none of the books on it 😂.
The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli – I finally read Simon Vs this year and I adored it to pieces. I can’t wait to experience more of Becky Albertalli’s amazing writing. This also comes out the day before my birthday!! So Happy Birthday to me!!!!
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo – After falling in love with Six of Crows last year I’ve been hesitant to pick up Crooked Kingdom because I’m TERRIFIED. I need to just bite the bullet and read it already.
The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich – If you’ve been following me for any amount of time you’ll know how much I NEED THIS BOOK. Cale Dietrich follows me on Twitter and he’s super rad (we had a discussion about MySpace once!!!) and I just need this book in my life???
The Wanderers by Meg Howrey – This is apparently similar to The Martian but with more a sci-fi twist? A group of astronauts are getting ready to leave for Mars and all this weird shit starts happening during one of their training simulations. Can we also talk about how stunning the cover is?
One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus – I have an ARC of this! I LOVE YA thrillers SO MUCH. I really want to read more thrillers/horrors this year. This is supposed to be reminiscent of The Breakfast Club (which confession time: I’ve never seen) where a group of teenagers are in detention and one of them ends up murdered?
The Inexplicable Logic of My Life by Benjamin Alire Saenz – Another book that I have an ARC of. I’ve heard that this book has some problematic elements which breaks my heart a little, but I’m interested in reading it for myself and seeing what else it has to offer.
Vicious by V.E. Schwab – I actually had a dream the other night that I was reading this book so if that’s not a sign I don’t know what it is. Now that I’ve finished the Shades of Magic series I need more of Victoria’s writing in my life and plus this is about superheroes, kinda, which YES.
History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera – I read More Than Happy Not this year and I’m still not over it. I’m ready for Adam Silvera to break my heart all over again. SIGN ME UP.
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas – This is gonna be one of the most important books I’ve ever read and I can’t wait. It’s inspired by #BlackLivesMatter and I know that it’s going to teach me so much. The reason why I haven’t already read it yet it is because I’m waiting to have enough money to buy a physical copy.
Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde – Again, like with The Love Interest, you’ll know how excited I am about this book. I am so so so so excited. I’ve heard so many positive reviews that have got me all 😍😍😍!!!!
I cannot wait for The Love Interest! Just can I have it now? THUG is brilliant, I cannot even begin to explain. I read it over a couple of days, cause I just cry a lot. But so good.
Thanks for the post!

Crooked Kingdom is a must. Trust me it’s such an epic conclusion to the series and the crew are all so fabulously complex. I can’t get enough of them.
I’m still in a book coma from A Conjuring of Light but Vicious is definitely a book that can fill the void. 😛 The cat and mouse chase between the characters is intense, fast paced and all kinds of morally ambiguous.
LikeLike
I have no doubt that it’s going to be amazing, omg. I can’t wait to finish it, but I don’t want it to end.
Ahhh, that sounds AMAZING. I love morally ambiguity so much.

I read a ton of horror, paranormal, steampunk, thriller, etc… so One of Us is Lying looks great to me. The Love Interest also looks interesting though I’m not much into romance unless it is the backstory within a thriller, etc. Enjoy your books! I’ll be interested to come back and see what you thought of your choices.

*squeals and flails arms* THAT COVER OF THE WANDERERS IS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL, I CAN’T EVEN. I haven’t even read the Martian yet (I really should le sigh), but this one sounds wonderful – I’ll definitely be adding it to my TBR. Crooked Kingdom was really very good – it’s painful, but in a good way! The Hate U Give was one of my favorites of last year; I really hope you love it as much as I did!
LikeLike
RIIIIIIGHT!!!! I NEED a physical copy for completely shallow reasons 😂😂 I actually haven’t read The Martian either, haha. I’ve started to like 5 times but then something comes up? What I’ve read so far has been pretty good, there’s lots of wit and sarcasm but also a ton of extremely detailed science-y stuff that has gone over my head a bit. I loved the movie though!! Ahh I’m so nervous but excited for Crooked Kingdom and I know I’m going to find The Hate U Give amazing.

I got very confused when I saw you called this post your Autumn TBR list, then I remember you’re in Australia and it all made sense again! 😀 I tend to think most people I talk to on WordPress is over here in the UK with me. 🙂
Anyway these are some amazing books Lauren, I’m really excited for The Love Interest as well. I finally got around to pre-ordering it the other day and now I’m really excited for it to be dispatched and delivered to me. It sounds just brilliant doesn’t it?
Also I really hope you enjoy Vicious and History is All You Left Me as well. Both are truly amazing and unforgettable books, in two very different ways though of course! 😀

😂😂😂 I figured it might cause some people some confusion! It’s okay, I always forget that things like timezones ect. exist.

I feel like I”m going to love them both so much ♥

I did think for a split second you were already planning your TBR list for Autumn, or Spring where you are I guess, before I realised.
That’s all right, ❤ and oh I'm the opposite, I will pre-order everything because that way I actually remember the books are being released. I never would if I was just buying them as and when they were released! 🙂

Backlist books are easier to find second-hand, which is good cause I don’t like spending money. 😂 I also always feel like I’m more interested in them? All the new releases sound kinda meh to me, they’re alright but not worth paying the price of a new book for. 😶

GREAT choices! I really want to read The Love Interest and One Of Us Is Lying. I just finished Queens of Geek a few days ago and absolutely LOVED that book.

But so far, it’s just as good as I thought it would be!
