Five Fall Favorites Day 1: Recommended

Happy first day of autumn! Today, not only do we get to celebrate the new season, but we also get to commence the tenth annual Five Fall Favorites blog party, hosted by Kate Willis and Rebekah A. Morris. (I’m amazed that it’s been going on for ten years, and that this will be my third year participating.)

Today’s prompt is books I’ve already recommended for FFF, a category which will be difficult to narrow down since all my previous recommendations are among my top favorites. Nonetheless, here’s five that stood out to me (excluding “best of the year” categories, since those would make it just too difficult to choose).

Kate’s Innocence and sequels by Sarah Holman

This series has been one of the overall best I’ve discovered ever since I started reading indie fiction. I was thrilled to find out about the newest installment, released last spring. I still haven’t read it, though, mainly because I want to reread the first seven before diving into Kate’s Truth.

Springtime in Surrey by various authors

Another all-time favorite book, and one I’ve recommended countless times since I read it. Reading this during a trip to England was quite the experience, but I guarantee you’ll enjoy it no matter where you’re reading from.

Mind the Gap by Erynn Mangum

I gave a copy of this novel to a friend lately, which has reminded me how much I need to reread it. It has humor, travel, and a relatable main character–everything I could want in a book.

The Lies We Live by Rachel L. Hackenburg

This is my first (and to this day, only) physical review copy. It’s a particularly obscure book with only a handful of reviews on Goodreads, but I think you should read it if you like contemporary Christian YA.

The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe

This wouldn’t be one of my book lists without a work of older fiction, which is where this 18th century tome comes in. Even though I thought the plot was a bit bloated and poorly-structured, I loved the immersive atmosphere Radcliffe created in her most well-known work.

    Oh, I’ve read those first two books! I think “Kate’s Innocence” is my favorite of the series. Maybe. 🙂
    Thanks for sharing your books!

    Oh my word, I’m so glad you enjoyed SIS that much! Also, Kate’s Case Files are so good (I still need to get my hands on the last book…) And the other 3 books look great. I’ve been meaning to read Udolpho for a while… *glances at Jane Austen*

    Yes to Kate’s Case Files! And I read Springtime in Surrey earlier this year. Mind the Gap sounds interesting and I love that title!

    I won Springtime in Surrey in a giveaway! I don’t really get into romance, but there were some stories in there I really enjoyed, especially the World War II one!

    Thanks so much for joining the party! I love the Kate’s Case Files series. I can’t wait for the last ones, though I’ll be sad for the series to end.

    Springtime in Surrey is on my TBR list! I don’t know if I’ll wait until spring or start it this winter. That’s so neat that you read it in England!!
