<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Hi friends! Today we're talking about what books we're looking forward to reading in the fall - specific titles as well as genres. We also contemplate what our reading lives will really look like with new babies in the picture. But before we get into all of that we discuss our cats, because who doesn't love to hear some stories about Remus, Scout, Peaches, and Katie's long-ago cat Bird (who was sweet but dumb). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Books Mentioned&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2KLBAJ2"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Penderwicks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Jeanne Birdsall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2HfmucY"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;Ordinary Grace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by William Kent Krueger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/31Ryysv"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;That's What Frenemies Are For&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Sophie Littlefield and Lauren Gershell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2ZdZ7X5"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;Ask Again Yes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Mary Beth Keane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2zh176l"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;Lock Every Door&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Riley Sager&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2KWb7r9"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;Recursion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Blake Crouch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2ZbF0Je"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Unhoneymooners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Christina Lauren&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2KIOnfq"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;Beartown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Frederick Backman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2HgyYRy"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;There There&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Tommy Orange&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2Hjtx4l"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Perfect Wife&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by JP Delaney&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2KIgs6G"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;North and South&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Elizabeth Gaskell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2He0Y8g"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;The 7½ of Evelyn Hardcastle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Stuart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/31RnhbD"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;Station Eleven&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Emily St. John Mandel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/31RzRaT"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;This Tender Land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by William Kent Krueger&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/31TvBb8"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Angel's Game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Carlos Ruiz Zafon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2ZdZoJB"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;Americana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/31PEX7E"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;Us Against You&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Frederick Backman &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2KMaVMo"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Handmaid's Tale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;by Margaret Atwood&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://amzn.to/2Z9RtCb"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-weight: 400;"&gt;House of Dreams: The Life of L.
