      Kingdom of Ash, One Dark Window duology, and A Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (also my book club's Oct pick lol) are the ones I'll definitely be reading. Also want to dive into more dark academia and literary fiction. I'm currently reading The Will of the Many and it's amazing, def gets more exciting as it goes on and I heard the ending is crazy.

I also want to read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen by the end of the year.

    Fall is my favorite, so I love a fall rec & TBR video! I’m 80% through Weyward and really enjoying it! I have read several of the other recs, and just borrowed Gallant from my library via Libby (I love VE Schwab).
    I’m excited to follow along as you work through your TBR! I have an ambitious TBR, too. Some of them are: A Song to Drown Rivers (can’t wait after you raved about it!), The Lies of Locke Lamora, Six Crimson Cranes, The Great Alone, Piranesi, Tress of the Emerald Sea, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Pretty fantasy heavy, but that’s my favorite genre.

    Howl's Moving Castle is soooo different from the movie. It's still great, but a little more wacky/whimsical. It's a Very light book, technically a middle grade novel if I remember. There are three books written in this universe or is it a series?? by D.W.J., but I have not read the other two as of yet, so I have no input there. I remember reading the darkest part of the forest a while back, and I remember not hating it.. but not like.. loving it. I'm curious to see what you think. I definitely prefer the Cruel prince series. I'm currently reading The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie, and Because I have 3 kids and September has been just us getting used to school routines again, I've been reading at a snail's pace. The very secret society of irregular witches is on my tbr cart, so I'll be looking forward to your review. :) Happy Fall Reading.
