Best Books of Fall 2024

And just like that, after a summer that felt like it was entirely made up of heat waves and tropical storms, we are preparing for fall. I’m going to be real and say that, at first, I was scoffing a bit at the fall book lists I started seeing about a week ago. Weather forecasts still had a lot of us firmly in the 80s and 90s, temperature-wise, and outside was giving more iced tea than pumpkin spice.

This week’s most read books on Goodreads have some familiar author names — in fact, they’re all titles that have been on the most read list many times before. The order is shuffled a bit from last week, but to add a more variety, I’ve included the top five most read books on Goodreads last week in three countries around the world. This time: Denmark, Malaysia, and Portugal. Denmark’s and Portugal’s most read titles this week are both not (yet?) available in English.

As fall-ready reading lists are amping up, I’m getting more and more into the upcoming season. Even if I feel like summer is still turning us every which way but loose. I’ve already looked at books I think will be big this year for book clubs, and I’ve since narrowed my focus to BIPOC books that I think will be big this year. There are a few people—like Ta-Nehisi Coates, Haruki Murakami, Louise Erdrich, Sabaa Tahir, and Robin Wall Kimmerer—who are auto buys for a lot of people, as well as a few exciting debuts.

Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. “[A] palm-sweat-inducing psychological thriller.”. “[The Snap] buzzes with all-too-familiar frustration at injustices. In the doubts and thrills of her story, Staple echoes the moment in a game when a bone-crunching collision has a player carted off the field. Are we allowed to enjoy this? Should the game still go on? An endorphin-fueled, heart-hammering sprint.”

One week of August to go, book nerds. Here’s what we have on this last Monday of Summer (I know not technically, but come on. It is.) The ethics of true crime can be as complex as the crimes that this genre deals with; while there are many reasons why people might read true crime, there are also some legitimate reasons to be cautious and to critique the hold that true crime has over society.

It happens to countless book clubs: You start out with great intentions of reading brilliant weighty novels, taking on books like Barbara Kingsolver’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Demon Copperhead (560 pages) or Abraham Verghese’s epic The Covenant of Water (736 pages). They’re fantastic, but many members of your group just don’t have the time or motivation to plow through them and your discussions fizzle.
