Fall is here! My favorite season. Obviously, every season is special in its own way but fall stands out from the crown for me. There is something so very charming and romantic about the color change and the fresh crispy air, misty mornings and warm spicy drinks, harvest and new beginnings. I always feel extra inspired in fall…
While during the summer I like to read more quick and fun lit, mostly YA, in fall my reading preferences change. In fall, I prefer to dig into history, reveal some deep family secrets, travel to mysterious foggy lands and I want romance!
So, here is my TBR list for this fall.
☁
The Legacy by Katherine Webb
Sisters Beth and Erica return to their family manor in Wiltshire. They used to spend every summer there as children, until one day their cousin Henry mysteriously disappeared by the lake near the house. Storton Manor is an old house, full of family secrets and memories.
Katherine Webb is my new favorite author and I need more of her books immediately!

The Last Tudor by Philippa Gregory
Philippa is my all-time favorite author and this is her last novel in the Tudor series. The story of the nine-day queen Lady Jane Grey. Nothing else to say apart from how much I enjoy every story she writes and the fact that I want to know more about the tragic and too short life of Lady Jane.

Again, Philippa Gregory novel from the Tudor series. This time the story follows the Sixth and the last wife of King Henry VIII – Catherine Parr.

☁
Summer Girls by Mary Alice Monroe
Mary Alice Monroe is my second new favorite author. Easy, kind and happy read – perfect for a romantic fall.
Three sisters that have nothing in common except the childhood memories of spending the summers at the grandmother’s old house on an island. This year is grandma’s 80th birthday and she plans a special reunion just for them – the girls. What is she up to?
