October TBR

I thought I would try something new and plan out what I want to read this month.

I don't normally do this, but I know I'll want to read some spooky books to get into the Halloween spirit.

I picked a few of the witchy/ghosty variety. Hopefully, I will make it through all of these plus some.

In no particular order, I chose:

An Inquiry into Love and Death by Simone St. James

London Seance Society by Sarah Penner

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

Night of the Witch by Sarah Raasch Beth Davis

Gothikana by Runyx

.. which now seems like a lot of Sarah's for one month 🤷‍♀️

I'll update with reviews once the month is over!

Currently on my TBR shelf this month!! Definitely going to be adding more King novels to this list! I am also thinking of reading The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy after watching the Rings of Power! I’ve always loved the LOTR movies and want to dip my toes in the Tolkien universe.
