My tbr for October to gear up for Halloween!

There's a LOT of books on here so I might end up starting some this month just so I can get through them all. At least a lot of these books are relatively short so hopefully I can read all of them!

Fingers crossed I can still sleep at night after reading some of these 💀

Ghost Stories on Halloween Night: Books to Check Out

They Drown Our Daughters by Katrina Monroe

If you can hear the call of the water, It's already far too late. They say Cape Disappointment is haunted. That's why tourists used to flock there in droves. They'd visit the rocky shoreline under the old lighthouse's watchful eye and fish shells from the water as they pretended to spot dark shapes in the surf. Now the tourists are long gone, and when Meredith Strand and her young daughter return to Meredith's childhood home after an acrimonious split from her wife, the Cape seems more haunted by regret than any malevolent force. But her mother, suffering from early stages of Alzheimer's, is convinced the ghost stories are real. Not only is there something in the water, but it's watching them. Waiting for them. Reaching out to Meredith's daughter the way it has to every woman in their line for generations-and if Meredith isn't careful, all three women, bound by blood and heartbreak, will be lost one by one to the ocean's mournful call.

The Widow of Pale Harbor by Hester Fox

Maine, 1846. Gabriel Stone is desperate to escape the ghosts that haunt him in Massachusetts after his wife's death, so he moves to Pale Harbor, Maine, where there is a vacancy for a new minister. Gideon and his late wife had always dreamed of building their own church, and Pale Harbor is the perfect opportunity. But not all is as it seems in the sleepy town of Pale Harbor. Strange, unsettling things have been happening, and the townspeople know that only one person can be responsible: Sophronia Carver, a widow who lives with a spinster maid in the decaying Castle Carver on the edge of town. Sophronia is a recluse, rumored to be a witch who killed her husband. When Gabriel meets her, he knows the charming, beautiful woman cannot be guilty of anything. Together, Gabriel and Sophronia realize that the mysterious events have one thing in common: they all contain an element from the wildly popular stories of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe. And when the events escalate to murder, Gabriel and Sophronia must find the real killer, before it's too late for them both.

The Winter Guest by W.C. Ryan

The drive leads past the gate house and through the trees towards the big house, visible through the winter-bared branches. Its windows stare down at Harkin and the sea beyond . . . January 1921. Though the Great War is over, in Ireland a new, civil war is raging. The once-grand Kilcolgan House, a crumbling bastion shrouded in sea-mist, lies half empty and filled with ghosts - both real and imagined - the Prendevilles, the noble family within, co-existing only as the balance of their secrets is kept. Then, when an IRA ambush goes terribly wrong, Maud Prendeville, eldest daughter of Lord Kilcolgan, is killed, leaving the family reeling. Yet the IRA column insist they left her alive, that someone else must have been responsible for her terrible fate. Captain Tom Harkin, an IRA intelligence officer and Maud's former fiancé, is sent to investigate, becoming an unwelcome guest in this strange, gloomy household. Working undercover, Harkin must delve into the house's secrets - and discover where, in this fractured, embattled town, each family member's allegiances truly lie. But Harkin too is haunted by the ghosts of the past and by his terrible experiences on the battlefields. Can he find out the truth about Maud's death before the past - and his strange, unnerving surroundings - overwhelm him?

Never Have I Ever by Isabel Yap

“Am I dead?” Mebuyen sighs. She was hoping the girl would not ask. Spells and stories, urban legends and immigrant tales: the magic in Isabel Yap’s debut collection jumps right off the page, from the joy in her new novella, 'A Spell for Foolish Hearts' to the terrifying tension of the urban legend 'Have You Heard the One About Anamaria Marquez'.

O Melhor Livro de Outubro

Cʟᴀssɪғɪᴄᴀᴄ̧ᴀ̃ᴏ Mᴀɪs Aʟᴛᴀ Esᴛᴇ Mᴇ̂s:⭐⭐⭐⭐+ 1/2

Cᴀɴᴅɪᴅᴀᴛᴏs ᴀ̀ Vɪᴛᴏ́ʀɪᴀ: "Serafina e o Manto Negro" (Serafina #1)

Vᴇɴᴄᴇᴅᴏʀ ᴇ Lɪᴠʀᴏ Dᴏ Mᴇ̂s: "Serafina e o Manto Negro" (Serafina #1) de Robert Beatty.

Só falei de dois livros este mês (época escolar a arrancar, ainda tenho de organizar melhor o meu tempo), e um deles não teve uma classificação exatamente espetacular, por isso a competição não foi renhida, mas isso não retira o mérito do vencedor. "Serafina e o Manto Negro" é um livro praticamente sem defeitos por muitos motivos, daí tê-lo recomendado, por isso INSISTO que o leiam, ESPECIALMENTE nesta altura do ano. É o livro mais Halloween-esco que há e é um ato criminoso perder a oportunidade de o ler na magia da sua estação. Aqui está:

Pᴀʀᴀ Oʙᴛᴇʀ ᴏ Gʀᴀɴᴅᴇ Vᴇɴᴄᴇᴅᴏʀ: Serafina e o Manto Negro, Robert Beatty - Livro - Bertrand

September Reading Recap

Books I finished this month and what I rated them

The Secret History, by Donna Tartt: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

The Butcher And The Wren, by Alaina Urquhart: ⭐⭐⭐.5

Words of Radiance, by Brandon Sanderson: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

DNF'd books:

The Once and Future Witches by Alix E Harrow (will try to read this month)

Babel by R.F. Kuang (I'm definitely going to read it but I just wasn't in the mood for it when I started)

Currently reading

The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice

Planned reads/hope to read:

I already posted my Halloween month tbr, and I think it'll be just about all I can do to get through it. The physical books I have in print/on my kindle though are The Graveyard Apartment and The Haunting of Hill House. I'm hoping to also get through The Once and Future Witches since it's appropriately witchy but we'll see!

Overall recap/thoughts:

I can't believe I only read three books this month 😅 I was just stuck in the middle of Words of Radiance and was really not feeling it, but I really wanted to finish it before starting anything else. I'm glad I powered through because it was definitely one of the best books I've ever read. I need a break from long fantasy before starting Oathbringer, so these spooky books should be a good interlude. A lot of these Halloween books are pretty short, so I'm DETERMINED to read at least most of them!

SPOOKY SEASON BOOKS RECS

Spooky season is my favorite season. I love autumn, rainy days, pumpkin spiced lattes in the morning, soft blankets and, mostly, HALLOWEEN!

If We Were Villains: my favorite book EVER. If you like dark academia settings, murders, secrets and tragic love stories, this is the right book for you! Oliver and his story will surely have an impact!

The Picture Of Dorian Gray: I feel like I don't even need to say anything about this. Wilde is my favorite author and I've read this book more than once, it's like my Halloween tradition i guess.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: a quite short but very captivating story about a man, Dr Jekyll, that finds a way to set his worst and savage side free.

Wuthering Heights: Ngl, I hated this book at first, I just couldn't stand Catherine and her antics. But, when I re-read it for school a couple of years later, I changed my mind and it became one of my favorite books. I personally think it's a perfect read for the spooky season.

Ninth House: My favorite Bardugo book. I read it in August last year but honestly it's perfect for this period. Secrets, ghosts, misteries, a dark past and demons! Also, the sequel will be out soon, I'd take the opportunity!

Gideon The Ninth: Back again to gilrbosses, ghosts, deads, enemies to something (friends or maybe lovers?) BUT with lesbians. How could you wosh for more? A badass lesbian himbo trying to find her place in the world.

Dracula: a classic, but how could I not put THE vampire story in a spooky season books rec? Might be a bit long and discoursive, but I personally loved it.

Cemetery Boys: The story of a trans brujo trying to prove himself in order to be accepted by his very traditional and close-minded mexican family. What happens when, while trying to summon the ghost of his dead cousin, Yadriel summons a stranger who used to attend the same school as him? Spooky and heart-warming, a perfect book if you need something not too difficult but still likeable.

Spooky/Fall Season TBR 2023

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to write down my TBR for the fall/spooky season and mention some of the new books that are coming out this year. These titles are the ones I read every year and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a spooky book to read (or really any murder mysteries, it feels like this is the prefect season to read Murder Mysteries).

~Books that are on my TBR~ : (Pretty much I recommend everything on this list)

Coraline by Neil Gailman

Halloween Tree by Ray Bardbury

Pumpkin Heads

Nancy Drew (This and the next few are perfect for the cozy weather)

Judy Bolton

Dana Sisters

Connie Blair

Hardy Boys

Scary Godmother

Edgar Allen Poe

The Invisible man

Nightmare Before Christmas Long Live the Pumpkin Queen

Bunnicula

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Frankenstein by Mary Shelly

Garlic and the Vampire

Garlic and the Witch

Halloween Party by Agatha Christie (first time I am going to read this)

Sherlock Holmes

Then there was none by Agatha Christie

Addams family

Goosebumps books

Mirror Lake By Juneau Black

The House of Lost Horizon Sarah Jewell mystery

Sleepy Hallow by Washington Irving

Harry Potter (I also read these around Xmas time too)

~OP Books I recommend~

The Shady Hallow mysteries. I love this series and it feels like you can read this series no matter what time of year but the big ones that I recommend from this series are Cold Clay & Mirror Lake.

I love Mirror Lake the most out of the series and the description of food and the autumn ambience is wonderful.

~Soon to release books (I hope)~ :

DeepHaven by Ethan M. Aldridge- I saw the artwork that this author has been posting and I thought it was gorgeous. I did some digging but did not really want to spoil it too much for myself. I am getting very Eldritch horror vibes from the artwork.

Unfamiliar vol 2 by Haley Newsome- I am in love with this series, it has magic it has witches it has food. What more could I ask for.

Twilight Falls by Juneau Black- This is one of my highly anticipated books that are coming out this year. I love the Shady Hollow Mysteries series, this come out after November, but I am still super hype for it.

 Tim Burton’s Nightmare before Christmas the Battle for Pumpkin King by Dan Conner- I have been collecting anything really Nightmare for a few a years now and when I saw this I freaked, I can’t wait for it.

Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree- I loved Legends & Lattes and when I found it there was going to be a 2nd book, I was thrilled I can’t wait for it.

Catch me If you Candy by Ellie Alexander- Recently I have been wanting to get more cozy mysteries and this series is like one of the biggest series I have seen. I am hoping to start collecting the series soon.

~New Books~ :

Most of these books are going to be Cozy Mysteries. I love Mysteries and Cozy Mysteries are right in my alley. First of all, I will not spoil mysteries for anyone if I can help it, so I will keep description vague. Most of these books are new to me and I am keeping myself blind incept for like the over storyline. (These are not new releases they are just new to me)

Fatal Fudge Swirl by Meri Allen- this is the third book in the Ice Cream Shop Mysteries books, I am trying to collect the others and read them in order. So, this mystery takes place around Halloween and there is a wedding, and tragedy strikes at the wedding.

Murder at the Pumpkin Pageant by Darci Hannah- this is another cozy that takes place around time Halloween time. Halloween time is here, and our MC Lindsey is not really jazzed about it, because she lives in the town spooky haunted lighthouse, so teenagers make it a test of courage to come up and scare each other silly.  However, this year her best friend asked to do a spooky episode for her social media what was supposed to be a night of ghost hunting and fun scares turns sinister.

One Poison Pie by Lynn Cahoon- Now this one doesn’t take place on around Halloween (as far from what I know I haven’t not read this book yet, so I fix this later if I am wrong) but it’s having to do with witches and what’s better she is an amateur detective kitchen witch. Mia is our main character and right now she has hit a rough patch in her life when boyfriend has left her greener pastures and she is now jobless. So, she heads back home to her grandma’s house. It’s the first book in this series so I don’t know too much about it.

A Batter of Life and Death by Ellie Alexander- the only thing I know is that this book takes place in fall and I just starting to get into the Bakeshop Mystery series. So, I am keeping my self-blind and I can’t wait to read it.

No Parm No Foul by Linda Reilly- this is the second book in the grilled cheese shop mystery, and it takes place around Halloween. I read the first book and I like it, so I want to try to get the second to see how it is.
