Autumn Reading List
I formally declare that summer reading is overrated. Autumn is the optimal time for reading and I find myself getting through twice as many books in the fall than I do the rest of the year. I have to mentally prepare to transition to spooky books on October 1st and not a day later, which means that my autumn reading starts right now. My fall reading list is almost always a mile long each year but over the past few weeks we have all been compiling our all time favorite fall and back-to-school reads.

*We did our very best to omit any books that promote or glorify any sort of problematic themes but I do want to note that a lot of these books are extremely old and warrant a warning. My advice to you if you run across something even remotely offensive: scribble it out in your book and re-write something nicer. I’m sure the author won’t mind.
