  • Fall Readalong Books Discussion

    Now that the fall 2026 PB Readalong books have been announced (πŸ”—here), how many new books did y'all end up adding to your TBR/Interested? One? Two? All of them? Which are you interested in or not interested in?

    I already have one that I've read (The Incandescent), but depending on how my reading goes in the fall and how much time I have, I might read Death of the Author and The Ornithologist's Field Guild to Love as well, since I've heard good enough about them before!

    This was an interesting book in that we got to enjoy a mix of private detective and police investigation. I was a bit unsure about it at first but once i got into it i really enjoyed it. I liked Merrion as a non police detetcive who was giving ideas and then Andrews the police officer asking the important questions. This is for people who like a bit of a puzzle and a complex conspiracy.

    This was everything i was hoping it was going to be. I loved the setting, i have never seen anything like it, an apocalyse that hasnt happened yet, creating such turmoil and trouble for the main character was just a perfect setting. i loved all the characters they felt well written and not gimmiky. the main character was perfect and was a very interesting narrator. the end message that there will always be people that try and help others and even when its the end of the world people will try and keep going was beautiful. This book had a decent msytery and coupled with a great action sequence and amazing plot i reccomend it so much ( i was at the edge of my seat the whole way). i will say though that this book is dark and there is a lot of suicide featured so that could trigger some people.

    Thoughts from 0% (page 1) SUICIDE TRIGGER

    if you can't handle mentions of suicide this is not the book for you. i dont normally find it triggering but the amount of suicide that is mentioned and takes place is crazy. The book is amazing but this could affect some readers
