Move over BookTok, the Brew Crew’s Fall reading list is full of gems.

With Teeth by Kristen Arnett

“Kristen Arnett is my favorite author. Her fiction is *chef’s kiss* and I love her use of humor and how gross she writes. This novel is a super fun read and also a little heartbreaking.”Matty Merritt, daily writer

Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney

“Sally Rooney has a weird obsession with thinness, but otherwise this is the perfect, ‘Get in gang, we’re going crying’ book to start off my seasonal depression.”Susanna Vogel, HR Brew reporter

A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki

“A delightful and sometimes dark mystery that intersperses deep examinations of quantum physics and Japanese mythology with the interconnected worlds between a 16-year-old narrator and an American novelist with writer’s block. It’s one of my favorite books about time.”Gillian Zamora, director of product management

South Riding by Winifred Holtby

“Winifred Holtby raced against the clock to finish this sweeping novel of a seaside English village. In addition to her own quickly approaching death, Holtby was also clearly aware of the coming Second World War. Both of these looming disasters shine through in her quiet meditation of life in a small village and the people and motivations to improve it.”—Michael Ferrante, integrated marketing director

Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

“This beautifully written collection of horror short stories is perfect for spooky season. If you’ve ever wondered what happened to the girl with the green ribbon around her neck (you know, from the story that traumatized you in childhood), start with The Husband Stitch. You will cry.”Amanda Mier, social media coordinator
