29. Campus novels to read in the fall and why we love books about school

Today Chelsey and Sara are  toppling your TBRs with campus novels. We know this back to school season is weird for students, teachers, parents, and the rest of us as we navigate new seasons during a pandemic. So let’s go back to school safely with books that take place at school, that revolve around learning or academia, and that give us the new school supplies, crisp fall leaves, sharpened pencils feeling.    We have so many books on this list...all sorts of tones and types! Don’t worry about writing everything down; we have links to all of the books mentioned in our show notes. It’s very possible we won’t get through all of the books we want to on this episode, but we’ll have an even more complete list of campus novels on our new blog: novelpairings.com.   Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/novelpairingspod/   Shop our Campus Novels list on Bookshop:  https://bookshop.org/lists/campus-novels-83ca9b6c-710c-436f-a0cb-af159a5ac6b7   Use our referral code to get TWO  audiobooks for the price of one through Libro.fm: https://libro.fm/redeem/novelpairings   Classics The Secret History by Donna Tartt Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner Possession by AS Byatt A Separate Peace by John Knowles Mysteries If We Were Villains by M.L Rio Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova The Likeness by Tana French Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas Young Adult The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks by E.
