Fall TBR 2020 Wrap-Up
The first day of Winter arrives tomorrow, which means Fall has come to an end. Back in September I listed ten books I wanted to read before my favorite season drew to a close; keep reading to see which ones I got to, and with which ones I’ll be finishing out the year (and starting the new year).

From My Bookshelf: More Shirley Jackson
In the October edition of From My Bookshelf, I featured three of Shirley Jackson’s novels that I had recently added to my book (and Penguin Classics) collection, and mentioned that I wanted to own and read all of six of Shirley Jackson’s novels. I am happy to say that since that post, I have read all three of those books (I read We Have Always Lived in the Castle last year). I do plan on discussing each book in separate blog posts, but that is a project for the future. Today I’m featuring the remaining two Shirley Jackson novels books, which I’m excited to read and place on my shelves…

Fall TBR 2020 Check-In
Fall is officially [more than] halfway over, so I thought it would be a good idea for me to check in on my Fall TBR, and remind myself which books I need to prioritize over the next few weeks if I want to move them over to my “read” list.

From My Bookshelf: Shirley Jackson
When thinking about what books and authors I wanted to read this fall and, more specifically, in October, Shirley Jackson came to mind. I read both We Have Always Lived in the Castle and her short story collection Dark Tales for the first time in 2018, and it’s beyond time for me to read (and hopefully fall in love with) Shirley Jackson’s other books. And because I do hope to one day own all of Shirley Jackson’s novels and collections, I decided to purchase the books I want to read rather than borrow them from the library. If you are new to From My Bookshelf, you can learn about it here.
