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.
