I love a cozy morning with a hot coffee in one hand, and a book I can’t put down in the other, curled up on the couch in sweats. I am a romance novel girl at heart, so of course I have a never-ending list on my TBR (to be read), but I think it’s time to use the season of pumpkin spice for a new beginning as well. I am trying to broaden my horizons and escape the world of romance to something bigger this fall—horror, mystery, I’m talking mind f*ck thrillers that I cannot put down or else I won’t sleep at night.
So, without further ado—here is my—our Fall TBR list!
