Happy Tuesday, y’all! It’s that time again. What time is it? It’s time to share our seasonal TBR. Jana, over at That Artsy Reader Girl, asks us to share a seasonal TBR every quarter. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, that means our Autumn 2025 TBR. For my Autumn 2025 TBR, I will list books I hope to read from October to December 2025.
How did my Summer 2025 TBR go? Not good, honestly! I read one of the ten books I listed, and I DNF’d one.
In 2024, I focused more on reading my current physical TBR instead of trying to read all the new books. I have come up with ten categories of books that I want to focus on each quarter. These books currently reside on my physical bookshelf, so I have no excuse not to read them. While I wasn’t overly successful, I will continue to focus on my physical books in 2025. But I’ll be changing up some of the categories.
All titles are linked to Goodreads.
Without further ado, here is my Autumn 2025 TBR!

The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams looks good!
I’m going to check out The Dictionary of Lost Words–it looks so interesting!
Here is my TTT: https://thissideofstoryland.blogspot.com/2025/09/top-ten-tuesday-fall-2025-tbr.html
Listen for the Lie was so good! Do you enjoy audiobooks? If you do, and you can get your hands on the audio for it, I would highly recommend it! It really added to the reading experience 🙂 I hope you enjoy all of these books whenever you get to them! 🍂
I have the audiobook on hold at my library, but the holds list is forever long.
My True Love Gave to Me looks like a cute read.
My True Love Gave to Me is a fun anthology. I hope you enjoy these!
I’ve only just started to read Agatha Christie, so I hope you love the ones you’ve chosen (as well as the rest of these books)!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I loved The Dictionary of Lost Words. I hope you do, too.
The Dictionary of Lost Words looks amazing! I hope you’ll love all the books on your list 🙂

I read “My True Love…” a few years ago and really enjoyed most of the stories! I also finally bought a couple Marple mysteries so maybe finally I’ll read some Christie books. Hope you enjoy your Fall TBR – and thanks for visiting my list!
Your books look good. I have to add the Jenny Colgan book to my TBR. I enjoy her books. Hope you like all of your books.
Love Agatha Christie! Hope you enjoy all on your Fall TBR!
I hope you enjoy all of these. I am still focusing on my own books as well!
Oo Listen for the Lie looks pretty good!
Nice list. My True Love Gave to Me was fun–I read it when it came out. I won a copy on Goodreads.
Oh man, you reminded me that The Dictionary of Lost Words is on my TBR too and I should place a library hold. It seems like the perfect Fall read. Thank you, and happy reading!
You’re welcome! LOL!
Dictionary of lost words is such a beautiful cover! I hope you enjoy all these books!
The Cafe by the Sea actually sounds like a summeresque book. I removed all Colgan’s books from my TBR just pretty recently while decluttering LOL.
We have very similar tastes. 😊 I’m adding The Codebreaker’s Secret by Sara Ackerman to my list. I hope you enjoy these books. Happy Tuesday!
My husband just finished The Dictionary Of Lost Words and loved it so he’s given it to me to read. I might put it on my TBR for summer
I love when we can share books with our partners.
I would love to read almost all of these, Pam. I forgot about Ackerman’s book. Need to add it to my wish list. Thanks for sharing.

I still haven’t read Dictionary of Lost Words but I have seen the play adaptation of it and I have read the companion book!
I planned to read some Agatha Christie this year, but I haven’t done it yet. Maybe I’ll read at least one before 2025 ends. We’ll see. I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT!

Looks like some fun choices! Agatha Christie’s books are always a good time. Hope you enjoy!
Such a good list!
Listen for the Lie was a wild read.
Cafe by the Sea was good – I love that series by Colgan
It’s been a hot minute, but I remember My True Love Gave to Me being a fun little anthology read
Been really curious about Listen for the Lie. Hope you enjoy these reads this autumn!
I haven’t read any of these yet, but Dictionary of Lost Words (and the Agatha Christie books) are on my TBR for eventual reading, too. I hope you enjoy them!
Happy TTT (on a Thursday)!
I relate to the struggle of being distracted by all the new and shiny books instead of the books we’ve already got on our shelves! You’ve inspired me and I’m going to try to read more from my existing TBR as well. I hope you enjoy all of these books when you get to them!

I hope you’ll love all of these!
I have tried to read at least 2 books per month of my physical bookshelf, but need to read more than that if I ever want to whittle down the amount I own. I keep reading new books and pushing these ones down further. Good luck, Pam.
