7 perfect fiction books to read for autumn fall 🍂

[@moy_says7575]

completely agree on the Haruki Murakami comment. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki is another of his books I think has similar vibes as Norwegian Wood, but much less, "oh my god you're the most irresistible man, take me right now" in his few women characters in there. Side note, LOVE your book recs, content and voice so much!!

@@moy_says7575 oooo that book sounds way more up my street! thank you so much for the rec and for your v kind words 🤗

10/10 spot on recs. I was shuffling my feet on The Secret History and Piranesi but your video has me excited and I’m determined to read them this month.

[@Bougie_Nerd]

Saaame. I really need to pick up a copy of the Secret History.

[@katerinareem]

@@saistewart5265 thank you soo much !! yes i hope you’ll absolutely love them, the secret history esp is v close to my heart!

I love your list, Katerina. I live in Australia, so I am digging into the spring reads at the moment(so I will check out your video on that). But I love your autumnal list of books and the way you describe them is chef's kiss! It is so cool that you know a little Arabic and Spanish! But ahh, piranesi, book thief, the hobbit and little women are all so special.

[@katerinareem]

@@joychalaby ahhh that’s so cool you’re in australia !! it must be strange for all my season book vids to come out in the wrong order for you haha! and thank you sm !! glad you’re enjoying the book recs 💗

I adore Piranesi! All time favorite. Need to re-read it sometime soon.

[@katerinareem]

so stunning, and i feel like it's a book that gets better on a second read too!

[@karenwetherald6086]

Norwegian Wood is a book I'd love to pick up. I have Babel on my shelf, maybe I should prioritize it this fall...

[@katerinareem]

@@karenwetherald6086 babel is definitely a solid one to read this fall!

[@daisyd3w3491]

Ok this settles it, the next time I visit a bookstore I'm picking up Piranesi. A few of my friends have been recommending it non stop and like every booktube video I watched in the last few weeks talks about it too. I think it is a sign >

[@katerinareem]

@@daisyd3w3491 hahaha that’s definitely a sign! the good thing about it is that it’s a relatively short book so hopefully you can get through it quite quick 🤗

[@badfaith4u]

I loved Babel.

[@katerinareem]

@@badfaith4u glad to hear!! 🥰

[@kacpercichosz465]

Murakami is infamous for his description of women. Nevertheless I love Norwegian Wood.

[@katerinareem]

@@kacpercichosz465 v much agreed !!

[@kerncarter]

You can draw a line from Secret History to Babel without a single curve.

[@PARIWESHJAMAL]

I would be very glad if someone helped me. I want to read a novel or story that has suspense, romance, and mystery. The female lead is very insecure but loves the main lead and vice versa. The second lead also loves her so much selflessly and secretly but she never notices his love.

[@katerinareem]

@@PARIWESHJAMAL honestly the first book that comes to mind is twilight hahahaha

[@TiggerTellsTales]

I almost bought Norwegian Wood yesterday but held off because even the male reviewers were commenting about how awkward the author depicts women and can go on for pages about their breasts. I wasn’t sure if it was my cuppa tea 😂 I’ll probably go to a book store and read a full chapter before committing. I am intrigued by different writing styles though.

[@katerinareem]

I think it's an interesting snapshot of Japan in the 80s - I believe it was hugely progressive at the time for it shedding light on mental health issues, so I think as long as you know there's icky writing regarding women going into it, it comes as less of a shock (but then again there's probs a gazillion other books you could spend your time reading LOL)

[@TiggerTellsTales]

@@katerinareemI think I’ll try it…it’s not the end of the world if I’m don’t like it. I’ve done very little reading on Japan and am trying to expand. Thanks 🙏
