This week’s Top Ten Tuesday from The Broke and the Bookish invites us to share ten of the books we’re excited about reading this autumn.<\/p>\n

I’ll be honest. I just looked at some of the books coming out this fall and added a huge number to my TBR list in Goodreads. And mostly those are just by authors I’ve already read and enjoyed. It doesn’t even begin to look at books that are already out. So, while it’s hopeless to imagine which books I’ll actually read over the next 13 weeks, let’s give it a shot:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dear Martin<\/em> by Nic Stone<\/strong> tops my list, but this contemporary Y.A., which examines violent police interactions against black teen boys through the lens of Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings, is due out in mid-October.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Wonder Woman: Warbringer<\/em> by Leigh Bardugo<\/strong> is in my possession. This title combines the mythology of Diana of the Amazons with Helen of Troy.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Miles Morales<\/em>, by Jason Reynolds<\/strong>: An alternative Spiderman story. This has been on my radar for so long that when the latest wall crawler movie came out, I was confused about why he was white.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. I was really looking forward to S.K. Ali’s Saints and Misfits<\/em><\/strong> when it first came out, but it hasn’t managed to jump from my coffee table to my bag, and I don’t know why. But I’d like to give it back to the library read, so I’ll give it a shot.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race<\/em> by Margot Lee Shetterley<\/strong>: My coworker lent me her copy of the book back at the start of the year and I should give it back before the end of it.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. I really enjoyed Amy Salig (A.S.) King’s talk on Me and Marvin Gardens<\/em><\/strong>, her new middle-grade book, at the National Book Festival<\/a> a few weeks back and now have a copy out from the library.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. People in my book group really raved about The Bear and the Nightingale<\/em> by Katherine Arden<\/strong> and keep comparing it to Uprooted<\/em>, which I loved, so now I have the audiobook copy out.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. I have tried to read Magic in Manhattan<\/em> by Sarah Mlynowski<\/strong> the past two (maybe more?) autumns and I’ve failed to get past the first few chapters. My BFF, Karen, tells me it’s an adorable series, so hopefully this fall will be the charm.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. The 13 1\u00e2\u0081\u201e2 Lives of Captain Bluebear<\/em> by Walter Moers<\/strong> is translated from the German and features the adventure of a seafaring blue bear and his family of mini pirates.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. Shadowshaper<\/em> by Daniel Jos\u00c3\u00a9 Older<\/strong> looks at Caribbean-American ghosts who live in paintings, music, and literature in this seasonally appropriate book I downloaded via the YA Sync program this summer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
