Hello guys! Happy October…well, happy almost-end of October! It’s that time of the year when you like to stay at home and watch movies under a blanket with a nice cup of tea. A time when you like to wear big fluffly socks. A time when all the trees are losing their leaves and you enjoy the sound they make under your boots. What are your favorite things about autumn?
I’m back today with some awesome recommendations in my two favorite genres. Yeah…I know you all have out of control TBR but I’m nice like that, I love to share!

What did you think of my recommendations? Any book you’d like to give a try?
Do YOU have any story I absolutely shouldn’t miss? How many books do you have on your TBR right now?
Let’s chat in comments ?
Great post! I love YA
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! ?
I seriously want to read the Impossiblity of Us ♥❤
YEEES! This book is awesome ??
Ooh, I’ll have to check out those dystopias. It’s been a while since I read a really good dystopia.
Yaaay, you really should! I really loved those stories ? Thanks for stopping by ?
Omg I love this thread.
Pretty sure I have a copy of American Panda on it’s way, but I don’t read a lot of contemporaries, so I’m a little nervous.
I want to read All of This is True, Awaken, The Belles and A Thousand Pieces of You.
I agree that Delirium and Matched are very similar.
Thank you so much ? American Panda is such a cute read, hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did! Yaaaay, they all are awesome ? Yes, Delirium and Matched are pretty similar!
I am a little nervous!! I don’t read a ton of contemporary novels, but I hope that I love it!!
I hope so too! ?
I can’t wait for my few review copies to get here!
Yaaaay, more books! ??
I’m so excited!!
??
Those were some great recommendations! Even for books that I hadn’t read, but heard about, I could totally get the comparisons you made!
Yaaay, glad you enjoyed it Kat! ??
Your recommendations are AWESOME! I’ve only read The Thousandth Floor, but a lot of other books are on my TBR. I hope to get to those eventually 🙂
Thank you so much ? I hope you will, all those books are pretty awesome ??
These are some brilliant recommendations Nyx. 🙂 <3 I haven't read many of these books but I really enjoyed Uglies when I was a teenagers, and The Belles is already on my TBR list so I guess I need to bump it up a little.
I also have the Delirium trilogy still on my to-read list, so I feel like I should add Matched as well. Fingers crossed these are books I can get around to sooner rather than later. 🙂
Thank you so much Beth! ? Well if you enjoyed Uglies, you’ll love The Belles! The story, the setting, the characters…it was a really good book ? Oh my…you need to read the Delirium trilogy asap! It’s one of @drizzleandhurricanebooks all-time favorites, I bet she’ll scream at you to read it already ? Matched is also a great story, hope you’ll like it as well. Happy reading ?
YES I AM SCREAMING READ IT ALREADY 😛
Yeah I feel like Marie has already screamed at me about Delirium, it was actually because of her I added it to my TBR list in the first place!
Thanks, you too. 🙂 ❤️
Haha, I’m not surprised ?
Great suggestions!
Thank you so much, hope you’ll like them as much as I did ?
There are so many lovely books on the list. And of course, I have read only a couple 😛 The top book on my TBR from this list is American Panda 🙂 I have heard good things about it. Hope to read it soon 🙂
Thanks! More books for you then ? Oh yeees, American Panda was such a cute read! Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did ?
I did like the Uglies! Never thought of the Belles, so great suggestion <3 I'll check it out.
Uglies is SO awesome ? If you liked it, I’m sure you’ll enjoy The Belles! Happy reading ?
I JUST ADDED LIKE 4 MORE BOOKS TO MY TBR!!! this is going great
thank you sm for the recommendations, there are so many books on here that i genuinely loved and im so hyped to find books similar to them. nothing like a never-ending tbr pile to get you feeling alive in the morning ??
great post!
YAAAAY TO ALL THE BOOKS! You’re welcome ?? Thank you so much for your sweet words, glad to be at your service ?
Yaay I love the American Pand rec – I feel like that book doesn’t get enough love!
YEES! That’s so true! It’s a shame because it’s such a lovely story ?
You know what’s sad, I’ve only read peaches out of the ones you recommended, oh and the uglies! Both books which I love. You have great taste in books just like Marie! I added a few of these to my Amazon Wish list! Great post Nyx xxx

Aww, thank you so much you’re so sweet ? Yaaay, that’s awesome! Hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I did ? Thanks for stopping by ?
I need to to read The Belles so bad ?? I love UGLIES!!
YES, YOU DO! Hope you’ll get to read it soon ? Yeeees, Uglies is the best ?
Love those recs!
Thank you so much, glad you liked them ?
I love this post! I really enjoyed Delirium and I haven’t read Matched yet, so I will have to check that one out. Thanks for so many great recommendations. 🙂
Yeeees, you really should it’s a great story! ? Thank you so much ??
Wonderful post, love! I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve only read American Panda and the Fifth Wave! (I know, I DARE call myself a YA lover! Shame on me! I fear the YA gods shall smite me …) I’ll definitely add some of these to my TBR! I’m a bit hesitant to read Delirium, because I loathed Matched. But perhaps I’ll like it! Fingers crossed! Thanks for the recs, beautiful! <3
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it ? Hahaha, no worries there is still plenty of time to read all those amazing books ? Oh, I hope you’ll still give Delirium a chance and that you’ll like it better than Matched ?
These are such good recommendations, lovely! I probably won’t be able to fit them in my TBRs for the rest of the year but maybe next year 😀
I can’t really explain what I love about Autumn but I guess the palette, for one, is GORGEOUS, and I love all the leaves falling around and covering the paths <3 The not-too-cold-not-too-warm weather, which is perfect for me, and the prospect of sipping Pumpkin Spice Latte, the pumpkin and apple recipes, Halloween and all that awesome stuff make it one of the best (if not the best) months! <3
Thank you so much, glad to make your TBR grows ? Yeees, you’re so right about all those things! I guess I’m just not a fan of autumm because I know winter is coming haha ?
Hahaha yeah I’m not a big fan of winter either but I still prefer the cold to the scorching heat! At least I can layer on clothes to protect myself and keep myself warm, whereas in summer I just melt and blister xD
Hahaha, I totally get that! ?
I recently just got When Dimple Met Rishi and All of this is True so I am actually really looking forward to being able to read both of those soon! I want to read American Panda eventually. I liked Matched back when I read it but I don’t think I’d like it if I read it now… so I’m not sure about reading Delirium. Ho hum… I did like The 5th Wave but I also didn’t continue on in the series so I’m not sure about trying Enclave. I might give it a go though! Great recommendations x
Yaaay, that’s awesome! Hope you’ll like them ? American Panda was such a cute read, you should add it to your TBR ? Oh, well..maybe you’ll be in a mood to read it later on. Yeees, I still need to finish the 5th Wave, I loved the first one so much. Enclave is not as good in my opinion but still enjoyable ? Thanks for stopping by ?
This is such an amazing list of recs! I definitely want to read thousandth floor! And I definitely want to try american panda 🙂
Thank you! ? Yeeees, you really should they are both so amazing ?
