Top Ten Books on my TBR pile for the Fall

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic is:  The Top Ten Books on My TBR (to be read) Pile this Fall

Some of these are books coming out this fall but most of them are books I have just been really wanting to read and haven’t gotten to yet.  I am really behind on reading, especially reading the books I own.
1.)    Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran
2.)    Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
3.)    The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
        --All three of the above books have been on my nook for MONTHS. 
4.)    Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K. Massie-I can not wait for this to come out in October.  I love Catherine the Great and Massie’s books are always good.
5.)    Mary Boleyn:  The Mistress of Kings by Alison Weir-This book also comes out in the fall and Weir’s fiction and non-fiction works don’t disappoint.
6.)    City of Bones by Cassandra Clare-I bought this a month or two ago and still haven’t read it!
7.)    Three Maids for a Crown by Ella March Chase-I have always had a soft spot for Lady Jane Grey.
8.)    The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King-I read The Gunslinger months ago but never got around to the rest of the series.
That’s only 8 books but between those and the other books I always manage to find, I should keep busy this fall.  Also, my library’s book sale is the first weekend in October so that should help lengthen my list a little.  What’s on your TBR list this fall?

    I stopped reading the Dark Tower series after the second one. It took me forever to read it.

    You need to get started on The Name of the Wind right now! Seriously, it's amazing! One of my all-time favourites! And the sequel The Wise Man's Fear was mindblowingly good as well! :) Can't help myself, I'm a fan :)
    I really want to read Madame Tussaud and City of Bones as well!
    Thanks for stopping by @ the Broke and the Bookish!

    I'm sure you'll enjoy City of Bones. I loved the first three books in the TMI series. Unfortunately book four was a bit of a let down.

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get this week?

Mailbox Monday (78)

 Happy Sunday everybody!  September is over and I can hardly believe it.  It seems as though the month has flown by.  Now I'm excited for fall and all of the upcoming holidays.  October is the start of my favorite time of year and I'm hoping there will be plenty of room for reading in between all of the upcoming events. I requested some new holiday books from the library and had no idea all of my holds would come in at once so I need to get moving on these.  I'm really excited to dig into some sweet, fluffy reads and these will do just the trick. From the Library: A Snow Country Christmas by Linda Lael Miller This is the fourth book in a series that I really enjoyed so I'm eager to get started on it. Holly and Ivy by Fern Michaels The Christmas Room by Catherine Anderson I was so intrigued by the cover on this one that I had to pick it up. For Review (from NetGalley): I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon     I really need to st
