Fall Favorites Reading List

Hello, Pretty Ladies,

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love to read, and I host a bi-monthly book club where I create a tablescape around the Book we read that month. Our Last Book was The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry. Perfect for a summer read. We took a break from the club over the summer, but of course, I continued to read and listen to audiobooks all summer. Here’s what I read and listened to.

Books I’ve Read

Falling for Peach Tree Bluff – By Kristy Woodson Harvey. A continuation of the Peachtree Bluff series. A sweet, heartwarming set of stories about a mom and her three daughters set in a darling southern beachside town. I never want her books to end, and I adore how Kristy has developed each character and takes you on their journeys. She pulls you into their world and sets the scenes so vividly, you can truly see it as a movie set. A perfect Fall read you’ll love and want to visit this sweet town and its characters.

Kristy Harvey Woodson’s Latest book, Falling for Peach Tree, came out September 15th, but I was lucky to get an advance copy, and I read it in one evening (ok, actually I stayed up until after 3 to finish it).

The Most Fun We Ever Had– A Reese’s Book Club pick- A family saga set in the 1970’s and in current time. Characters develop through their past choices and how they live and move forward today. Along with a beautiful love story. A great read.

Books in Cute Series New to Me

The Daisy Chain Flower Shop– by Laurie Gilmore, the 6th Book in the Dream Harbor series. I have loved every book in this heartwarming, sweet little romance book series. I love the characters; the small seaside town is somewhere we would all want to visit. Cute and quick reads, with one to enjoy for each season. Pumpkin Spice Cafe is cute for Fall, and Christmas Tree Farm  & The Gingerbread Bakery is perfect for the Holiday season.

The Cinnamon Spiced Inn– by Harper Graham. If you love Laurie Gilmore, then they say you’ll love Harper Graham. This was my first read from her, and I grabbed a pumpkin spiced latte, settling down by the fire with my Lola blanket, and enjoying this Romance. I love it, so I bought the other 4 in the series and pre-ordered her latest out this month. I add her Spiced Coco Cafe to my November December list.

Books in my Stack

I love reading seasonal books, and here are a few in my stack for September and October.

Apple Blossom Dream– Apple Blossom Hope– Apple Blossom Love by Rosie Callahan. A feel-good romance series.

Everyone is Lying to You– Jo Piazza, a tradwife murder mystery bestselling author and creator of the Under Thr Influence podcast.

Candy Apple Kissies– by Amy. Clipston: A bestseller and a lightly spiced romance

Pumpkin Pie Book Nook– by Harper Graham: A Cozy and addictive autumn romance

The Deep South Murder Club (A Smoky Mountain Cozy Mystery)

I go on walks daily and listen to A book on audio or a podcast every day. Which means yes, I often have several books going at the same time. I enjoy listening to a book just as much as I do reading it. Don’t get me wrong, I love music too, but I often have music playing at home while I am working, cleaning, or doing a home project. Here are audiobooks I have listened to recently and what’s in my upcoming stack.

Audiobooks I recently listened to

Dear Caroline by Kristy Harvey Woodson – From the New York Best-Selling Author of the Peach Tree Bluff Series. This heartwarming story of Adoption, how it affects women, and the beautiful storyline was a book I didn’t want to end. (That’s the way I feel about all of Kristy’s books) I will often read her books in one to two days.

The Guest List by Lucy Foley- a Reese’s Book Club recommendation- evokes an Agatha Christie classic: twists, Great character development, and a little spooky/thriller.

Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth –New York Times bestselling author of The Soulmate and The Good Sister, comes a twist-filled, darkly funny mystery about the two kinds of people no one ever expects to be murderers: little girls and old ladies. I enjoyed the surprising twists and the carefully written details that helped you visualize where this was taking place. 

Audiobooks in my Stack

The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett. From the writer of The Help, this is yet another New York bestseller, and I can’t wait to listen to this heartwarming story about women. 

Theo Of Golden by Allen Levi. This is a New York bestseller, and they say it’s a “To Kill a Mockingbird of its time.” Katie Couric listed it on her book club pick.

Coffee table Books and Cookbooks New to my Collection

I adore coffee table books- collecting them, browsing through them, and using them for decorating.

Here are a couple of brand-new launches I recently received.
