Something happens to my brain in September. The mornings get cold. I dig out my coziest socks. And suddenly I cannot read the book I was perfectly happy with in July.

I don't think I'm alone in this. Fall makes people want a different kind of story. Slower. Warmer. Set somewhere small enough that the whole town knows your business.

So here's my fall reading list. Some picks are brand new this season. Some have been on my shelf for years. And yes, my own books are on here. (It's my blog. I did warn you.)
