Starr Struck Fall Reading List

Since we're already well into fall, I feel like this post is slightly overdue, but better late than never, right? 

I've been finding that lately, I'm just not getting as much reading done as I would like. This is mainly because I always read before bed, and I've been SO mentally and physically exhausted these days (see yesterday's announcement) that I can only read a few pages before tuning off the light and calling it a night. So, it's taken me much longer than usual to get through my most recent book, and meanwhile, my "to read list" has been growing longer and longer...

Therefore, today's reading list is simply my own personal reading list--the books that I want to tackle this fall. I'm assuming I'll have a little more time to read once I'm living on the Cape and it's freezing cold/snowy outside, so my plans are to spend a lot of this winter curled up by our fireplace (We'll have one--yay! More about that later...) with my dear Kindle. 

What's on your must-read list for fall? Have any good recommendations for me? You know I'm always looking for them...

My Fall Reading List

• We Are Water by Wally Lamb: I adore Wally Lamb and he has a new book out! I cannot wait to read it. If you haven't read She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True, you must. 
• How to Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran: Moran has been called “The UK’s answer to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all rolled into one.” Done. 
• The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri: I already mentioned this book in my October Newsletter, so I won't go on and on about it, but let me just say that Lahiri is another one of my favorite authors. All of her books are worth a read and this is her latest...
• David and Goliath by Malcom Gladwell: I don't think Gladwell needs much of an explaination. If you want your mind blown and the way that you look at the world altered, read his books. This is his newest, in which he looks at how the seemingly weak often win out over those who appear stronger, and why.  It sounds fabulous. 
• The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty: Every once in a while, I need a little well-written chick lit in my life. Although this book may fall under that category, it's gotten great reviews and was Amazon's "Best Book of the Month" back in August. Therefore,  I think it's worth a shot--I'm sure I'll gobble it up in no time ;)
• The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert: The newest book by the author of Eat, Pray, Love. Although I'm somewhat skeptical about this book, I want to give it a chance. It's a historical novel about a female botanist in the 19th-century...
• The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan: Although this came out in January of 2011, I've never read it. It's the story of a relationship, told within the format of a Dictionary--very interesting and it got wonderful reviews!

I think that should be enough to get us all through the next couple of months, don't you think? Especially if I keep falling asleep early every night...

Let me know if you've ready any of these books and if so, please share your opinion! 

Happy reading :)
