Walking out of the house this morning, I could feel the fall chill in the air. Leaves are starting to fall, the heaters are turning on and soup pots are coming out of the kitchen cabinets. This is the perfect time of year to climb into your favorite chair and spend a few hours with a good book! There are some great titles hitting the bookshelves this fall for adults and students alike. A few that we look forward to are listed below.

Winter of the World: Book Two of the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett.

If you had the pleasure of reading Follett’s Fall of the Giants, you will enjoy this second installment of The Century Trilogy. This historical fiction novel promises to continue right where the last book left off. USA Today says about Fall of the Giants, “It’s a book that will suck you in, consume you for days or weeks…then let you out the other side both entertained and educated." This is one of the more popular adult reads this season.

The Casual Vacancy: by J.K. Rowling

The much awaited new novel by Rowling is a departure from the Harry Potter series and will appeal more to adults. People Magazine writes, “A vivid read with great, memorable characters and a truly emotional payoff…Rowling captures the humanity in everyone, even if that humanity is not always a pretty sight."

Reached: by Ally Condie

This gripping conclusion to the Matched trilogy is expected out in mid-November. According to Entertainment Weekly, this #1 New York Times best seller is “the hottest YA (young adult) title to hit bookstores since The Hunger Games."
