Top Ten Thursday - Fall TBR

9/24/2015

Okay, so I know it's Thursday. I missed Top Ten Tuesday. This week has been just a little crazy. But I wanted to do this topic anyway, so I'm going to. I hereby declare today Top Ten Thursday!

Books I Want to Read This Fall

The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer (Because of library due dates, I neglected the Birthday Month Challenge over the summer. So that's what this book and the next two are for. I need to get caught back up!)
The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins (For the Victorian Lit Challenge)
America the Beautiful by Ben Carson (This is our book club book for October.)

The Turquoise Ledge: A Memoir by Leslie Marmon Silko (For the Color Coded Challenge. And because it helps to visit someplace warm mentally as the weather is getting colder and colder outside.)
The Real Boy by Anne Ursu (I loved Breadcrumbs, so I bought this book last year. But I haven't had a chance to read it yet!)
Grave Consequences by Lisa Tawn Bergren (Second book in a series I discovered last summer.)
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke (Okay, this would be about the fourth time I've read this book. But fall always puts me in the mood for another reread.)
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (Yeah, definitely not planning to finish this one in the fall. But it's on my 31 in 31 list, and I need to start reading it sometime. Now is as good a time as any!)

I'm really looking forward to The Moonstone. And I have a feeling that The Importance of Being Earnest is going to be my favorite read from my Classics Club list. I can't wait for that one!

I enjoyed Collins' The Woman in White. I've had a couple people tell me they like The Moonstone even better. I'm looking forward to trying that one!

This will be my third attempt to read War and Peace. Hopefully this one sticks! :)

Which translation of War and Peace do you have? I read the Edmonds one twice and hated it each time, then I read the Maude one and loved it. Same for Anna Karenina, actually - hated the Edmonds, loved the Maude :)

O, it turns out I have the Maude translation. I inherited the copy I have from my grandmother, so I'm stuck with whatever it is. Glad to hear it's the good translation!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at [email protected].
