books of fall.

i have been anxiously awaiting the release of two books this fall.  i put together some book-to-outfit concepts to share my excitement with you all.  

today marks the highly-anticipated release date of j.k. rowling's first non-harry potter book (and first adult novel!), the casual vacancy.  and while small town english politics aren't something i would normally seek out in a book (no offense to the small town english polticians who are clearly reading this blog!), she's garnered enough good will that i preordered my copy on amazon months ago.  

1. sweater / 2. necklace  /3. leggings  / 4. casual vacancy  /5. lipstick  /6. boots / 7. watch 

and just a month from now, just in time for halloween, the second novel in "the passage" trilogy by justin cronin is finally out.  the series, about a vampire apocalypse, is stephen king-esque (in fact, it comes stephen king recommended): thrilling, chilling, terrifying, heart-warming, heart-breaking, etc etc etc.  the first book came out in the summer of 2010, and c, my mom and i all devoured it.  since it's a trilogy, practically nothing was resolved at the end of the first book, so we've been dying for over 2 years to find out what happens next.     

1. sweater / 2. parka / 3. backpack (similar) / 4. vampire survival guide / 5. the passage / 
6. leggings / 7. boots / 8. watch / 9. the twelve

any books you're looking forward to reading this fall?
