For someone who was born during the Autumn season, it’s surprising how little of it I’ve experienced. Growing up I envied the people walking down lanes peppered with fallen leaves; the whole idea of Halloween was magical to me! The atmosphere of Autumn was something I wanted my soul to slip into.
Autumn winds whisper of colder days to come, chilling us further with a promise of the supernatural. It seems like the perfect weather for bookworms who can hide five to ten books under their sweaters, a time for poets to crawl out of their burrows; a real perfect weather for us introverts.
And thus I present to you
Note: Serves one cute bookworm

A serving or two of Fantasy, the darker the better. Writer prefers a dark enough novel to summon a demon for tea.
A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
Stir in some old fashioned mystery, allow to sit on your bones, then…
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
A bucket full of hot tears to bring your recipe to the right temperature
(Note: It should be at that point where your heart is split in two.)
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
For those unwilling to sacrifice a finger to their Zodiac, add a dash of paranormal or horror for that extra spice
The Architect of Song by A.G. Howard
Monsters & Angels by Anne Marie Andrus
And for good measure, throw in a healthy serving of psychological thriller
This Darkness Mine by Mindy McGinnins
Serve this with the will to actually stick to your TBR!
I’m more of a mood reader, so that last ingredient is very, very crucial for me. I hope you’ll enjoy this little recipe!

Love this adorable and creative take on an autumn TBR list!! I agree that And Then There Were None, Rebecca, and The Book Thief are perfect fall reads.
Fall really is the ideal season for us introverts. Happy reading!
