It’s that time of year, everyone. Pittsburgh fall is finally upon us. The daylight is leaving faster, the air is colder and the rain is coming down. The only practical response is to get cozy, make yourself a hot cup of tea and curl up with a book that’s not for homework. If you’re looking for that next book to skip class for, look no further than our fall book list!
