My favorite month has arrived! It’s time to get that To-be-read list ready, and I have 12 books to add to your reading list this October.

I love Halloween Month! Spooky, fun decor, cozy sweaters, and beautiful autumn colors as the trees and other foliage continue to change here in Colorado, as well as some great books!

It is about the Mysteries, the Thrillers, and a sprinkle of Comedy, Drama, and Horror. With the list of banned books still growing, I might throw one of those into the to-be-read pile if I get through the current pile!

I am participating in the TBR Harvest 2024 put on by Leandra, the TBR Zero. I picked the Trick Or Treat TBR list but added a few from the Corn Maze. Some of these books are re-reads, and some are new to me.

Not all the books I have picked are scary or gory. I hope to read more than what you see on this list to complete all the prompts. Depending on my time constraints, I read 8 to 16 books a month. We shall see how this month goes!

The Grey Wolf by Louise Penny comes out on Oct 25, 2024, so it will likely be the last book I read. Yes, I pre-ordered it!

Quick Note! All links will open in a new window to the book's page on the Author's official website. If I cannot find the book page, the link will take you to the Author's home page or, as a last resort, the book's page on Good Reads.
