The leaves are changing and it’s getting cool out. Which only means one thing, it’s time to curl up by the fire with a new read! Here are some of the books I’m looking forward to reading\/re-reading this fall:<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\nThe Secret History by Donna Tartt<\/h3>\n

<\/h2>\nIt’s definitely time to revisit my favorite book by Donna Tartt! I consider it to be a staple “cold weather” read!<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nThe Fifth To Die by J.D. Barker<\/h3>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.patiencerandle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/51szSjEDULL._SX331_BO1204203200_-200x300.jpg\")
<\/h3>\nProbably my favorite crime series ever! J.D. Barker has a gift for writing the perfect killers. If you’re looking for a good crime read, start with the first book in the series, The Fourth Monkey.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nAn Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green<\/h3>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.patiencerandle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/51COUdYbYiL._SX329_BO1204203200_-199x300.jpg\")
<\/h2>\nThis month’s Barnes & Noble book club pick. This will be my first Hank Green book!<\/p>\n
Compulsively entertaining and powerfully relevant,\u00a0An Absolutely Remarkable Thing\u00a0<\/em>grapples with big themes, including how the social internet is changing fame, rhetoric, and radicalization; how our culture deals with fear and uncertainty; and how vilification and adoration spring for the same dehumanization that follows a life in the public eye. The beginning of an exciting fiction career,\u00a0An Absolutely Remarkable Thing\u00a0is a bold and insightful novel of now.<\/em><\/p>\n “We do not get visitors. Not out here. We never have.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In Iain Reid\u2019s second haunting<\/em>, philosophical puzzle of a novel, set in the near-future, Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable, solitary life on their farm, far from the city lights, but in close quarters with each other. One day, a stranger from the city arrives with alarming news: Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm…very far away. The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won’t have a chance to miss him, because she won’t be left alone\u2014not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company.<\/em><\/p>\n A spellbinding story of curiosity, love and obsession from an astonishing new talent. One September evening in 1785, the merchant Jonah Hancock hears urgent knocking on his front door. One of his captains is waiting eagerly on the step. He has sold Jonah’s ship for what appears to be a mermaid. As gossip spreads through the docks, coffee shops, parlours and brothels, everyone wants to see Mr Hancock’s marvel.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Jules Moreau\u2019s childhood is shattered after the sudden death of his parents. Enrolled in <\/em>boarding school where he and his siblings, Marty and Liz, are forced to live apart, the once vivacious and fearless Jules retreats inward, preferring to live within his memories \u2013 until he meets Alva, a kindred soul caught in her own grief. Fifteen years pass and the siblings remain strangers to one another, bound by tragedy and struggling to recover the family they once were. Jules, still adrift, is anchored only by his desires to be a writer and to reunite with Alva, who turned her back on their friendship on the precipice of it becoming more. But, just as it seems they can make amends for time wasted, invisible forces \u2013 whether fate or chance \u2013 intervene.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n From the author of the award-winning international bestseller\u00a0Half-Blood Blues\u00a0<\/i>comes a dazzling adventure story, about a boy who rises from the ashes of slavery to become a free man of the world.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.patiencerandle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/51W6ZCkVVL._SX324_BO1204203200_-196x300.jpg\")
