My Autumn 2021 TBR

Books, TBR Lists, Top 10 Tuesday

Hi friends 👋🏻 Today is finally the last day of summer and I couldn’t be more excited. Summer is my least favourite season because it gets so humid where I live and I am that rare breed of person who gets seasonal depression in summer rather than winter. I just thrive better in colder weather. Plus, we’re going into Spooky Season which is always a big plus. If you have been following me around the blogosphere for the ten years that I’ve been blogging (👵🏻) you’ll know that my autumn TBR is split into two: horror for the beginning of the season and sci-fi for the end because I have my own Spooky Month event every October and I participate in Sci-Fi Month every November.

I did try to find fantasy books for this list but it turns out that I’m not a big fantasy reader 🤷‍♀️ Sci-fi and horror are my go-to genres after all, so all of the books here are from those two genres. Also, some of these books may not be considered Queer by other people, but this is my list and my definition of a Queer book may differ from yours. (also, I’m aware that the header image says ‘spec-fic’ but it turns out that I was using the term incorrectly and very few of these books are spec-fic.) also, if you know what movie the gif is from, we are now best friends. A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers – I finally read The Long Way to a […]
