Itโs October and I wanna get in the spooky, leaves falling, sweater-wearing moodโฆ so tell me your favorite fall or Halloween book. Maybe itโs a re-read or just the perfect book to compliment the season. ๐๐๐๐๐๐

I recently finished reading The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and it was definitely giving me Fall/moody weather vibes. It’s a murder mystery with a time loop that takes place in an English manor – I read it during a rainy week and it felt so cozy at times.
Something Wicked This Way Comes – Ray Bradbury
_Beast in View_ by Margaret Millar. Avoid spoilers at all costs!
Babel by R.F Kuang. It falls into the same category as the secret history and If we were villains.
Itโs an amazing dark academia, and even if you arenโt a fan of that aesthetic, youโll still love it.
On a lighter note, The Before the Coffee Gets Cold books is a great **cozy** read. Currently there are 3 books (i think they are all standalones(??)) as well as a 4th books coming out this November!!!!!!
I couldn’t pick just one:
Rebecca
The Little Stranger
The Turn of the Key (a riff on The Turn of the Screw)
The Pallbearer’s Club
Saturday Night Ghost Club
Truly Devious series
“Something Wicked This Way Comes” by Ray Bradbury fits this vibe PERFECTLY
Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardingeโi read it last October and it was a very fitting read for the season/month.
On the non-spooky end of the spectrum, I would recommend Assassinโs Apprentice. Cozy isnโt quite the right word, but it just feels like a good book to read during fall.
I love reading classic monster stores: Frankenstein is probably my favorite, but I also loved Dracula, and the Portrait of Dorian Grey
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It’s for kids but not really! The audiobook version (full cast) is also wonderful.
Frankenstein. Dracula. The Secret History. See lists in the below as well.
