Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is a freebie on the theme of Fall, or Autumn as we refer to it in the UK. I’ve chosen books linked to events that occur during October or November. Links from each title will take you to my review or the book description on Goodreads.
Hallowe’en (31st October) – Spooky tales…
- The Visitor at Anningley Hall by Chris Thorndycroft
- The Coffin Path by Katherine Clements
- The Bone Flower by Charles Lambert
- Collected Ghost Stories by M. R. James, ed. by Darryl Jones
Bonfire Night (5th November) – Penny for the guy…
- Treason by James Jackson
Remembrance Day (11th November) – To the fallen…
- The Photographer of the Lost by Caroline Scott
- Two Storm Wood by Philip Gray
- The Paris Peacemakers by Flora Johnston
- The Woman with the Map by Jan Casey
- Blitz Writing: Night Shift & It Was Different at the Time by Inez Holden
What a clever idea!

Very interesting choices. I realize I still haven’t read Blitz Writing which I added to my tbr due to your review.

What, added a book to your TBR and still haven’t read it? My bookshelves could tell the same story!
