    We hope everyone’s enjoying their autumn festivities and gearing up for THPloween with our themed articles and fall playlists! A tradition we started earlier this year was to round up a few books that make up a solid reading list for each season. We’ve done spring and summer already, now let’s get into our new fall book roundup!

    This fall has been jam packed with fantasy and contemporary novels we can’t help but love, in both print and audiobook format. Here are three more fall books to add to your TBR!

    Flip By Ngozi Ukazu

    Our first fall book is Ngozi Ukazu’s newest graphic novel, Flip! High school senior Chi-Chi Ekeh keeps crushing on rich white boys who don’t know she exists. Her life completely flips around (get it?) when she sends Flip Henderson—AKA the most popular guy in school—a video promposal and gets publicly rejected by him. By some force of nature, Chi-Chi and Flip start to switch bodies, forming an unexpected friendship and possibly something more. This graphic novel speaks on self-worth and how our perspectives can change once we see ourselves through other people’s eyes.

    Release date: September 23

    The next book in our fall roundup is Jill Tew‘s new dystopian romance, An Ocean Apart! Set in 2190, Miami has become the flooded Marshes region. Eden Lowell and the Marshers fight for survival each day. Meanwhile, the corporate elite, or “Cruisers,” have taken to sailing the seas rather than face the environmental damage they’ve caused. When one Cruiser family hosts a dating competition for their heir, Theo Desjardins, Eden makes it her mission to infiltrate the show, break Theo’s heart, and bring the prize money back to her community. That is, until Theo turns out to be the change maker Eden’s been wishing for all along.

    Release date: October 14

    The final fall book we recommend is Kika Hatzopoulou‘s romantasy, Moth Dark! You may know her from her Threads That Bind duology, and this new novel is just as rich in storytelling. Ever since her world collided with the world of the Dark, Sascia has been intrigued with it. She somehow pulls a person out of the Dark, Nugau, who also happens to be the heir to the Darkworld and set on delivering her death sentence. Sascia and Nugau share a bond spanning countless timelines neither one understands. Just as they grow ever closer in their love, so too do their worlds tread closer to war.

    Release date: October 28

  • Our 3 Favorite Things About Thief Of Night By Holly Black

    [ad_1]

    It’s officially fall, and we’ve adjusted our reading lists accordingly! This next book review needs no introduction. But if you didn’t already know, Holly Black has just released her new adult fantasy novel, Thief of Night!

    Thief of Night is the second and final book in The Charlatan Duology, picking up shortly after the end of Book of Night. With new responsibilities and somehow even more enemies, we looked forward to seeing how Charlie and Red would make it through in this sequel.

    An urban fantasy with shadow magic and plenty of action, here are three of our favorite things about Thief of Night by Holly Black!

    Book Overview: Thief Of Night

    Content warnings: death, murder, mass murder, graphic violence, gore, bodies, corpses, torture, amnesia, poisoning, weapons, mentions of sexual assault and child abuse (Please read at your discretion!)

    Summary: There’d always been something wrong with Charlie Hall. Crooked from the day she was born. Never met a bad decision she wasn’t willing to double down on. She may be good enough to steal a shadow from a tower, but will she be good enough to steal back a heart?

    The Romantic Tension

    One of the best things about Thief of Night is the buildup of Charlie and Red’s romance, in our humble opinion. When they become entangled at the end of book one, we thought that would bring them ever closer. Little did we know Red (formerly known as Vince) wouldn’t remember a thing about his intimate relationship with Charlie. But to see that attraction build up again was so rewarding, and we ate it up! Red can now act as himself around Charlie, even if he has to assume certain roles in the outside world.

    Red’s Protectiveness

    A big part of the romantic tension between Charlie and Red comes from Red’s instinctive protectiveness of Charlie. Charlie can technically make Red do whatever she wants him to do since they’re tethered together. However, she gives Red a lot more autonomy and only asks him for help if she needs it. Red would still materialize and protect Charlie even if she doesn’t ask for help. He also shows so much restraint whenever Charlie has to feed him her blood, not wanting to hurt her. Mom, we love him. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

    Supporting Cast

    While we’re here for the main characters and romance in Thief of Night, we also love the supporting characters. Specifically Charlie’s sister Posey and the graduate research student/ethnographer Malhar. We had a feeling they’d get together in some capacity, as seen by their not-so-situationship in book two. These two add some humor and levity to the story that we can always appreciate. Malhar’s research allows us to understand the shadow magic from a logical perspective. And Posey always tries to look out for Charlie, even if Charlie still doesn’t treat her like an adult.

    Charlie and Red must navigate their strange new connection and take down more enemies in Holly Black’s new sequel, Thief of Night. It’s a duology conclusion we couldn’t put down!

    Thief of Night by Holly Black comes out September 23rd, and you can order a copy of it here!
