Last year, I wrote an article about wintertime reads, and so I thought it might be time to write something related to autumnal books. I love these books and think they are perfect for the fall season. Pumpkin Spice Latte and scarf: optional.

Under the Dome - Stephen King

This action-packed novel tells the story of how a small Maine town copes with being cut off from the outside world due to an impassable dome that has come down over them.

Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn

This one is a page-turner, so much so it even got a movie made based off it. The story is told from the perspective of Nick Dunne and attempts to uncover if he is responsible for the disappearance of his wife.

The Duff - Kody Keplinger

This read also got a movie adaptation and for good reason. The hilarious Bianca Piper entertains us with her tales of high school life and what it feels like to find out you're the "designated ugly fat friend" (aka: the DUFF).

Vanishing Girls - Lauren Oliver

Nick and Dara have a strained relationship. When Dara goes missing one night, Nick thinks she's just messing around at first. But soon she discovers that Dara may be gone for real. Can she find her sister before it's too late?

Beautiful - Amy Reed

13 year old Cassie is determined to leave her good girl existence far behind when she begins a new school year in Seattle. When she befriends Alex, her world soon spirals into one full of drugs, sex and alcohol. You'll follow her tumultuous months of adolescence and see if she can get herself back together before a whole year of her life is wasted.
