Greetings! It’s Tuesday and time for Top Ten Tuesday. Today’s prompt is one of the seasonal ones – Ten Books on my Fall TBR list. Well, we are definitely ready for spring and summer here in the Southern Hemisphere, so a fall TBR is not going to work for me. But what will work for me, is to take a look at the books that need to FALL from my TBR shelf.
I am not even going to go to my actual Goodreads TBR, even if we start today, we won’t be done with it by Fall 2030. I’ll go with the ones that stare us in the face on a daily basis.
Who doesn’t love to borrow books from friends, colleagues and even students? Oh my Mommy loves it! But perhaps she needs to start reading them….
Yes, we all have a problem with overdue ARC’s and please don’t for a second think that these are the only ones on the shelf. These are just the ones we find the most pressing. On our hearts and minds and conscience that is.
- Singing Lessons for the Stylish Canary by Laura Stanfill
- The Time Trials by Jon and Dayna McConnell
- A Suffragette in Time by Connie Lacy
- The Dangerous Promise by Merryn Allingham
We love listening to audiobooks, but as a fulltime teacher/librarian, my Mommy just don’t always have enough time to get to it. With the warmer weather approaching, she and the mutt will go for beach walks again and then she listens a bit more. But these two are the oldest on our Smart Audio Book app.
- The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
- The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Aland Bradley
My Mommy’s small October break is starting this Thursday. Let’s see if we manage to clear some space on the shelf. But now we are first going to go and see what is on your TBRs in order to add them to ours and keep life interesting.
Have a great Tuesday!
Love your clever twist on the topic 🙂 Fable and The Bear and the Nightingale are on my TBR too. Hope you’ll enjoy all of these!
I do hope you are able to get some good reading in during your small October break!
I hope so too Debbie! The books are piled up here in my little library, now I just need to read them…
Haha I love your spin on the theme, how cute! I hope you’re able to get to all of these soon and enjoy them 😊
I listened to both of your audio picks and they’re both fantastic audios. I love both narrators so much and they really enhanced the books. The others are new to me but I love how you split this up!
Hi Katherine!
Well, as you know – somehow we got separated at birth. So I will make sure to start with The Sweetness at the bottom of the pie and The Bear and the Nightingale as soon as I’m done with Remarkably bright Creatures.
I hope you had a great week so far!
I loved The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie:-) And by the way, I love the graphics that show your books:-)
Thanks so much Tammy! I always love making them.
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is the audiobook that has been on my shelf the longest, I hope to get to it soon.
I love your graphics! Very cute. Hopefully you get lots of reading done on your break.
Thanks AJ!
I will probably play around a bit more over the holidays, just because it’s so much fun! LOL!!
I also hope I will get to these ones soon…
Happy to see you on TTT!
The Dangerous Promise looks interesting! Good luck getting these read/listened to.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I also think The Dangerous Promise will be worth the read, I know it’s the prequal to a series, hopefully it will get me to read the series as well!
Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is one of my favorite audiobooks. The reader has such a cute voice.
Hi Anne!
Ah yea! It’s the audiobook that has been on my shelf the longest, hope to get to it soon!
Good luck with reading everything! Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks Sarita!
Good luck with your fall reading — looks like you have some great ones lined up! I loved The Bear & the Nightingale — hope you do too!
Hi Lisa!
I am so glad to hear just about everyone loved The Bear and the Nightingale! I wanted to listen to it over the winter season, but it didn’t happen… I will make sure that it’s my next audio!
I adored The Bear and the Nightingale and its sequels. It’s one of my favorite series. I love the characters and the world-building in that series. I hope you like it as much as I do. I hope you like these other books too!
Here’s my list: TTT
Hi Jenni!
I hope to get to The Bear and the Nightingale before the end of the year, I know it’s a series and hopefully I can get to those as well.
Thanks for the visit and sorry for the late reply!
OOOOOOOOH Fable and The Bear and the Nightingale are two books that I love to an extreme degree! I seriously hope you get around to those and enjoy them as much as I did! Happy spring to you!
Hi Leah!
That is so good to hear! Fable will HAVE to be read over the next two weeks as it is a book I’ve borrowed from a child at school…. LOL!!!
Glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it so much, it makes me eager to start reading!
Oh good!! It’s such a great story.
Lots of great books here! I still need to read the Bear and the Nightingale soon!
That makes two of us Ronyell!
Thanks for stopping, I hope you had a great week!
I hope you enjoy Fable. I loved it. Isn’t it one of the ones that your students recommended? It’s a pirate fantasy type of story and oh, so good. 😊 Happy reading!
Hi Tessa!
Aaah, your memory is good. You should do the Memory Blog Tag! Yes, Fable is one of the books my students recommend I should read. The copy that I’ve borrowed is actually a child’s, so I have to get to it over the holidays so that I can give her book back. I hope I will enjoy it, will keep you posted.
I just loved the graphic of the cats knocking the books off your shelves. It’s so cute. I hope you find the time to get to these books.
Hi Wendy!
Thanks! I love playing on Canva and find it sometimes easier to just quickly make a graphic on Canva than to try to pull the covers in through WordPress.
I also hope I will manage to read these soon!
Nice! I haven’t read any, but The Bear and the Nightingale is somewhere on my TBR. Curious to see what you will write about it
I hope I can get to it before the end of the year Emma….
Hopefully those books just tumble right off your shelves in no time 🙂 I’ve read Bear and the Nightingale – it’s delightful tho I can’t speak to the audio (ha, see what I did there?) And, I’ve added The Time Trials to my TBR – it sounds really good. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Terrie!
I do see what you did there with The Bear and the Nightingale! LOL!! I will have to keep you posted for when I finally get to read/listen to it.
I think The Time Trials are going to be quite good yes!
I love your take on this week’s prompt! I hope that you will be able to knock a few of these books off of your TBR over your coming break.

Thank you Pam!
The plan is to at least read the 3 borrows so that I can return them to their rightful owners.
Thanks for the encouragement! Let’s hope all these positive vibes will get me to read them all!
The Bear and the Nightingale is such a lovely read. I hope you get a chance to read all these!
Hi Alicia!
I’ve been meaning to read it for years! So I think it’s just about time to dust it and start listening!
I love the way you did your post today! Very creative tweak. I hope you enjoy these if you do decide to read them 🙂
Hi there Cindy!
Well the borrows I will definitely read, because I did ask to read them, so now I must commit! I will keep you guys posted.
I completely understand that! I don’t have anyone here to borrow books from, LOL. Maybe in our next location.
We don’t have a library! So Book Club and borrowing books is what we need to do if we want to keep reading!
Oh, that stinks!! I know when we lived in Kenya we didn’t have access to a library either, so it is not something I take for granted here. It truly is a gift!
I loved Fable!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Good luck on your list and I am rooting for you to get all of these checked off!! 🙂
Have a wonderful week!
Aaah thanks Leslie! You make me feel like an athlete getting ready for a race. But that’s exactly the encouragement I need at the moment!
They look good. I hope you get a chance to read them all – and get a load read over your break!
Have a great week!

I did fall behind with reviews and Book Club and just reading in general this term, so I also hope for a holiday where I can just read and read…!
Thanks for dropping by Emily!
Happy spring! Fable looks good to me. I always see it and wonder about that series.
Hope lots of these FALL off your TBR 🙂
Hi Greg!
Well Fable will have to be the first one that I read, because it’s actually a book that I’ve borrowed from a student! LOL!!! The kids are getting ahead of us…. Will keep you posted!
The only one of these I’ve read is The Bear and The Nightingale and sadly I didn’t enjoy it that much, I hope it works out better for you!
Hi Jo!
I will try to be very openminded when I finally start with The Bear and the Nightingale.
Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you like both of them!
Hi Lydia!
I hope I’ll manage more than just 2, but 2 will still be better than none I guess!
Fun spin on this topic for the week! I hope you’re able to make a dent in your TBR this spring!
Hi Amanda!
I also hope for a dent in the TBR! I am trying to be very good lately and don’t add much, but it’s still a 5 year feat at least to get through the current stack!
I love how you broke your picks out. It’s been so long since I read anything from Grisham!
Hi Tanya!
The last Grisham I’ve read was The Guardians and I did love that one. I hope I will get to A time for Mercy this holidays.
Great list of interesting books to fall from your TBR shelves. I also have yet to read Fable. And your graphics are amazing 😍. Happy Spring.
Here is my TTT: https://herseriallife.com/top-10-books-on-my-fall-2022-to-read-list/
Have a great week 🙂
Ah thank you Rae!
It took me a bit of time to figure CANVA out, but once I got it, I love playing around with graphics and just have some fun.
Thanks for dropping by!
Love your twist on this, it’s so clever!
Thank you Nicki!
Twisting TTT is my specialty! LOL!!!
My audiobook time definitely goes down in winter as I usually listen on my dog’s second walk…and she won’t always get one of those when the weather is rubbish! Hope your enjoy your spring reading.
Hi Ellie!
Very glad to hear I’m not the only one. I hardly listen to audiobooks at all during winter time. The days are shorter and by the time I’m done with school and everything, I normally just want to get to bed with a book. In summer there are just so many activities that make it easier to listen to and audiobook!
