Fall 2023 Book Recommendations
  |  @   |  

Fall is almost upon us! This is my favorite season of the year in general, but also my favorite time for reading. There’s always a plethora of titles being released for the season, many of which are perfect for Halloween and even the Christmas Horror subgenre. I always have so much fun putting together my Fall reading recommendations not only because of all the new titles I’m anticipating, but also so I can look back on what was released earlier in the year and read anything I might have missed.

Below are some titles — with accompanying links to the print, ebooks, and audiobooks editions — that I personally am looking forward to this Fall, presented here in order of release date, starting with those releasing in September 2023. After this main list, I’ve included some titles that came out earlier this year that you might have missed that would be appropriate to read this Fall. At the end, I included recommendations for themed Cookbooks, Crafts, Guides, Coloring Books Sourcebooks, and Tarot Decks that would be great to dive into during the spooky season.

John Scalzi’s ‘Star Trek’ Parody ‘Redshirts’ To Become FX Limited Series
  |  

Things are about to get spacey over at FX. John Scalzi’s comedic sci-fi adventure Redshirts, last year’s Hugo Award winner for Best Novel, is being developed as a limited series for the acclaimed cable network.

Ken Kwapis, a veteran television (The Office, The Bernie Mac Show) and feature film (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, He’s Just Not That Into You) producer and director will oversee development of Redshirts alongside film producer Jon Shestack (Air Force One, Dan in Real Life) and his partner Alexandra Beattie, according to Deadline. The trio will serve as executive producers on the new series, with Kwapis lined up to direct the pilot episode. The project is currently out to writers to help adapt the novel for television. Kwapis and Beattie most recently developed the prospective Showtime series Happyish, but its future is in doubt following the unexpected death of its star Philip Seymour Hoffman on February 2, 2014.
