The 9 Best Books to Read for Fall 2016

My dream house would have a library room, which I know is something from the Victorian era, but hey I love books! When the book fair would come to school, that was one of the highlights of the year for me. So every season, I look forward to getting my hands on some of the popular books. I’m gonna share what I believe are the nine best books to read this Fall.

There are a couple of non-fiction, fiction, auto-biographical and biographies. Something for everyone, except children haha. Grab a book, find a quiet spot, grab a warm drink and get lost in the words. Oh and a couple are actually a couple of years old, not released in 2016. But sometimes you find a great book a little later than others. Right?

You can also see what I was reading this past Spring and what I read last summer.
