Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books on My Fall 2025 To-Read List and Tell Me Something Tuesday: Which Fictional Character Do You Wish Were A Real Person?



Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.    

Welcome back to Tuesday! Hope you're having a great week. Today, we are sharing the top ten books on our Fall 2025 to-read lists. Pretty sure many of the ones you see on Mondays are on it, since they are books for reviews. I will sneak in three that I hope to read as well. 

Top Ten Books on My Fall 2025 To-Read List










 


Tell Me Something Tuesday (TMST) is hosted by Jen Twimom at That's What I'm Talking AboutTMST is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general. Participation is optional, and you leave your comments in the weekly post if you are participating. Check it out if you would like to join.

This week's topic is: Which fictional character do you wish were a real person? 

Such a neat topic to discuss. In children's literature, it has to be Anne Shirley. Imaginative, impulsive, talkative Anne Shirley eventually won over even her harshest critics. Her imagination saved her from a life of being shuffled around like an unwanted coat no one wants but refuses to give away. She found solace in the worlds she created until her life was forever changed by Miss Spencer's lucky mistake that brought her to Green Gables. 

In adult literature, I would have to say one of the Bender sisters from Charlotte Hubbard's Promise Lodge series. They had the faith, courage, and strength to pick up their lives and create a new community that flourished through their example. 

How about you? Who is a fictional character you wish were a real person?

EVERY TIME I GO ON VACATION, SOMEONE DIES is a fun read. It's a little silly, but it's definitely diverting! I hope you enjoy it and all these others.
