We’ve finally made it to one of my favorite seasons. Not only does that mean cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes (even if I have to crank the AC in the house to achieve that), but it also means some amazing books for Fall are on the horizon. There’s something about Fall reading that warms my soul. And while we put together a list of recommendations for you (coming soon), today we wanted to feature some new releases that we’ve come across that should be on you radar.
