Books About Home
I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl for TTT: Genre Freebie. Today’s prompt is a genre freebie. I’m drilling down into a subgenre or microgenre and listing books about Home. I’ve read each one of these, but I haven’t reviewed them all.

Turn Right at the Rainbow: A Diary of House Hunting, Happenstance, and Home by Roz Morris (ARC)
This is the book that inspired me to create a list of books about Home. In Turn Right at the Rainbow, Roz Morris shares her experience in buying a new home. Focused on the logistics of home buying, her reflections are funny, very British, and relatable. (Memoir)

~Rainer Maria Rilke
“I love the world of words, where life and literature connect.”

I’ve only read one or two of these titles, but it is a good TTT theme.
Thanks! 🌻
A lovely selection! I’d choose The House That Made Us by Alice Cavanagh – a gorgeous story.
Thanks for the rec! I’ll check it out! 🌻
As an immigrant, I can say that the longing for home is real. I am fortunate enough to live close to where I moved from, and as such, am able to return when the occasion arises.
Here’s my TTT: https://readbakecreate.com/favorite-historical-fiction-reads-of-2025/
The draw to home is always strong!
An interesting list and so many different options!
Have a great week!

An interesting topic for this week, Carol. The only one I’ve read is The Dutch House.
Thanks Carla! 🌻
That is a good question, I’ve never thought about “Home” books before! And I was so interested in “Turn Right at the Rainbow” that I ordered it immediately! Good price for Kindle! I have read a number of the books you listed, The Dutch House, Joyful, Speak to Me of Home (which I didn’t like nearly as well as American Dirt), The Art of Gathering (fascinating), and Home by Marilynne. And I love Kate di Camillo, I would love to read hers!
Wow! You’ve read so many! 🙌 Thanks for sharing!
Later—I just finished Turn Right at the Rainbow and I gave it 5 stars!! I LOVE that stuff and I loved her writing!! Not so much the ending, but still 5 stars.
I’m happy it was a good read for you! Thanks for sharing!
A great selection for this topic, Carol! Thanks for sharing. 😀
Thanks, Lashaan! 🙌
Roz’s book was a 5/5 star for me!

This is such a lovely genre – I adore The Little Book of Hygge, it’s a book I love to refer back to.
So many wonderful books about home! 💖
