Autumn is usually filled with new releases. This October won’t be an exception. Even though there are more there hundreds of books coming out this month, I was very picky and chose my top 5 that I’m the most excited about!
One of them I already started reading, and let me tell you – it’s incredible!
MOST ANTICIPATED YA BOOKS OF OCTOBER 2019
THE FOUNTAINS OF SILENCE BY RUTA SEPETYS
Madrid, 1957. Under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a dark secret. Meanwhile, tourists and foreign businessmen flood into Spain under the welcoming guise of sunshine and wine.

I received the ARC of this book back in August and have been saving it for the colder time of the year, when I can lit up some candles, make myself a huge bucket of tea, and transport myself to Spain during Franco’s dictatorship. I’ve started reading it last night, and even though I’m only 5% in, I’m already getting attached to some of the characters.
the secret commonwealth by philip pullman
It is twenty years since the events of La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One unfolded and saw the baby Lyra Belacqua begin her life-changing journey… more
In an ideal world, I would have read Volume 1 in the Book of Dust series that I got almost two years ago. Since we don’t live in a perfect world, and I tend to read everything EXCEPT the books from my physical TBR, I still haven’t read Vol.1…

There has been a lot of hype around the newest book by Leigh Bardugo. I read the Grisha trilogy this summer, and really loved Leigh Bardugo writing, hopefully I won’t be disappointed!

Another book that’s been on everyone’s radar! «Imaginary Friend» by Stephen Chbosky sounds like a perfect, spooky read for October!

I’ve been noticing that about the Ninth House, now I’m not sure if I want to buy it or not. I may just wait until my library gets a copy and if I end up loving it, then I’ll buy it.
