Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Fall TBR List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by the awesome ladies at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme is about the books on my Fall TBR list. Fall may be here but it doesn't seem like it with the hot weather we're having in SoCal lol! Anyways, currently I'm reading A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn and The Trial by Franz Kafka. Here are all the books that I want to read next this fall:




1. Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult: I received this from Netgalley. Don't know too much about it but the ratings are good on Goodreads! ***Also friend/follow me on Goodreads! My username is Uzi***

2. The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain: Way back in May 2015, I came up with a personal list of 50 classics to read in 5 years and this book was part of the list. I got the idea from another blog post, so I will link up and make a post about my list whenever I'll get a chance.

3. Harry Potter and the Curse Child by John Tiffany and Jack Thorne (and J.K. Rowling): I've been putting off reading this partly because mixed reviews and also, because I've never been into reading plays.

4. The Penultimate Peril by Lemony Snicket: 'Why??' You might ask. Well partly because of the new Netflix series and also, because A Series of Unfortunate Events kind of does fit in with Halloween with all the crazy and bizarre things that happen in books. Also, can we pretend the thirteenth book didn't happen?

5. The White Queen by Phillipa Greggory: This has been on my to read list for a while (as most books are) and I decided to pick it up when I visited The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles.

6. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Speaking of books being on my list for a while, it's about time that I read this.

7. Captain Sinbad by Graham Diamond: I received this from Netgalley. I've always had a fascination with 1001 Nights (which I hope to read one day) so I'm pretty excited to read this.

8. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett: Another book on my 50 classics list. A Little Princess was one of my favorite books growing up! Rereads are always fun!

9. Lucy and Linh by Alice Pung: I also received this through Netgalley. Don't worry I will be giving all of these books an honest review! This books seems like a great coming of age novel.

10. The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: This one is also on my 50 Classics list. It looks pretty interesting from the synapsis.

So there you have it.  All of the titles listed on this post are ones that I own or have easy access to, so (hopefully) no excuses lol! What are some of your To Reads?!
