Five Fall Favorites – Day 2 (Indie Books)

September 22, 2025

It’s time for Day 2 of Five Fall Favorites (hosted by Once Upon an Ordinary and Read Another Page)!

Today is about indie books, and honestly, I pulled out some … random ones. So let’s get into it!

Indie Books

Questions of War series by Jesseca Wheaton

A Question of Honor (Questions of War #1) by Jesseca Wheaton | Goodreads

Unfortunately, I still am talking about this series.

Also, I, um, I made a meme for my teenage self:

Since we’re both married, it’s not creepy to joke about it, is it? (Or is it more creepy? I feel like it’s more creepy.)

Heart in the Clouds by Jennifer Mistmorgan

Heart in the Clouds by Jennifer Mistmorgan | Goodreads

This is a more recent series that I’ve fallen in love with, but it’s so good! I really enjoyed this one, along with the other two books in this series. I feel like Jennifer Mistmorgan may be a new author to follow for me!

Spellsmith & Carver (trilogy) by H.L. Burke

Amazon.com: Spellsmith & Carver: The Complete Boxset eBook : Burke, H. L.: Kindle Store

It’s actually been a bit since I read this one, but I wanted to recommend it because I feel like it’s one of the more underrated trilogies amongst my sister’s books. (Yeah, that’s my sister.)

Of course, I think of the two heroes as resembling my two brother-in-laws, which actually makes me very uncomfortable, but meh. Auric and Jericho are still great.

Trillium as a name is a 10/10.

Dreamlander by K.M. Weiland

Review - Dreamlander by K.M. Weiland - Jason C Joyner

I have a bone to pick with the end of this one, but I still recommend it! I keep hoping the author will write a sequel, but I have lost hope. If she ever does, I will be getting it!

The Fragrance of Geraniums by Alicia G. Ruggieri

The Fragrance of Geraniums by Alicia G. Ruggieri | Goodreads

This was an incredible, powerful story of redemption. Without being too preachy, this book gives us a gritty, real-life story with gritty, real-life characters. It was sad, yes, and the happy ending wasn’t quite what one would expect, but it makes an incredible impression.

I had a hard time coming up with a meme for this one, so if you have ideas, you’ll have to share them!

  1. The Fragrance of Geraniums has been on my to-read list forever! Thanks for reminding me that I need to move it up, ha ha. And these others all sound so good, too…

  2. Ooh, I’m so intrigued by this list! I’ve never read any of them, but I have read Wayfarer by K. M. Weiland, and have been wanting to try another of her books, so maybe Dreamlander needs to be the one!
