I split my big list of spooky reads for September to November. September was vampires and witches. October is the spookiest ones. November is the rest all together I have 19 books

@saramm3765 9 ай бұрын

I do something similar. Dark academia in September, spooky reads October, witchy and vampire reads November.

I was so disappointed with The Cloisters. I read it in February and I remember thinking I wish someone else had taken that idea and written it differently. Maybe you’ll love it though 😊. 🎃 🧡🎃

Had mixed feeling about The Cloisters, but did find it worth reading. October is way to short, I travelled quite a bit in September and Early October, still trying to get up Halloween decor😂🎃

Your struggle is adorable and relatable 😂 I am of course also reading seasonal books! But Im winging it, so not sure which I'm going for just yet

I just finished reading A House with good bones by T. Minister and now I'm starting The haunting of Aveline Jones which is a middleware novel. I've got some more spooky reads for this autumn like Florence and Giles, House of hollow, We Barclays lives in the castle, The Ghost of Gosswater, Bring me your midnight, Rules for vanishing, Cloisters is also on my list, Weyward, Cackle, Home before dark, Our hideous progeny, The House witch, Hex Appeal and more but I know I win have time to read all of them. But at least I've got plenty to choose from 😊

Speaking of spooky... I started The Cloisters last night. I have the same edition - preordered because of the cover and edges, and because it sounded interesting. Like you, I'm hoping I like it. Have skipped reviews but have heard some people saying it was disappointing.

I've been very much in the mood for like folkloric fantasy(like the Bear and the Nightingale or A river Enchanted) so that's what will be on my October tbr. Though I do have a few dark academia books, and some horror which I am a complete wimp, so well see how the horror goes haha

The Child Thief was my first Brom novel. I've loved all the ones I've read so far. I hope to read Slewfoot this spooky season. I just finished In These Hallowed Halls and, although I obviously had my favorites, there wasn't a dud in the whole bunch. I have filled up an entire book cart with books that would be perfect to read in October and I'll be lucky if I can read even a 10th of them.

I started my dark academia freefall in late August with Black Chalk, continued through September with several others, and finished the month with If we were villains 🖤 I’ll be participating in Victober, but I’m hoping to keep on with one or two more da books, especially In these hallowed halls. It’s my favorite time of year too.🎃🎃🎃
