Top Fall 2024 Fiction Books: Must-Read Novels



Autumn leaves aren't the only things turning over a new leaf this season. The literary world is bursting with fresh fall fiction and books that will have you curled up by the fire, sipping your pumpkin spice latte, and losing track of time. Whether you're a fan of heart-pounding thrillers, family sagas or chick lit, we've got you covered. So grab your favorite blanket, get cozy, and dive into these must-read books as you watch the leaves fall outside your window.

Note: Just like I did for my summer book recos, I'm including links to purchase on both Amazon and Bookshop. Bookshop is a site that financially supports independent and local bookstores and I think that is amazing. Happy Reading!

I just started this one. Shout to one of my favorite independent bookstores in Michigan, Between the Covers, for recommending this to me. This one has a little bit of everything: family drama, ghosts, marriage and past lives all set on the coast of Maine.

best fall novels and books for 2024 The Woman Behind the Door by Roddy Doyle


Another Irish author, I haven't picked up a Roddy Doyle book since I read Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha for an undergrad class, so I'm really looking forward to this one. It's being described as a very emotional and raw mother-daughter story. I have a feeling I might need the tissues for this one.
