10 Books To Read This Autumn & Halloween

1. The Secret History’ by Donna Tartt

I think it’s fun to read campus novels during the fall and winter, and the twisty, murderous stylings of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History bring the perfect air of mystery to your fall reading lineup.

2. The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw

i read this myself in the summer I loved it and can’t wait to read it this Halloween with it’s theme of witches, a cursed town and death the story takes place in summer but to me it felt far more like fall then anything else, like walking in a old mystery.

3.The House of the Spirits By  Isabel Allende 

This family saga centers on the descendants of Clara del Valle, a Chilean woman whose psychic powers allows her to predict the misfortunes that will befall her family. This book was lyrical, magical, and at times frightening, as the author describes the horrors that followed them.

4. Harry Potter By J.K Rowling

I put this on the list last year but let’s face it, harry potter is one of those books you have to read at laset once a year and autumn is the best time with it’s witches and wizards, magic, spells, cats, and good vs bad it’s the perfect series for this time of the year.

5.The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Mara Dyer doesn’t know if she is crazy or haunted–all she knows is that everyone around her is dying. i read this series a few years ago and it’s stayed with me with it’s haunteding, beautiful, but also horror and mystery.

6. Night Film’ by Marisha Pessl

Unlike many of the other books on this list, Marisha Pessl’s Night Film is actually set during the fall. This mystery novel begins with a body discovered on an October night, a body that turns out to belong to the director of grisly cult films.

7.   A Small Revolution’ by Jimin Han

A Small Revolution blends the decidedly fall feeling of college romance with the tension of a horror-thriller. After taking a tour of 1980s South Korea with other college-bound Korean-Americans, Yoona returns to her studies with a romantic interest on the horizon and a kinship with that boy’s friend. But when a car crash kills one of her new acquaintances, Yoona lands in the sights of the other, who has grown delusional with grief. i’ve just put this on my tbr list and i can’t wait to read it, it sounds amazing.

8. Another Brooklyn’ by Jacqueline Woodson

In this semi-autobiographical novel, Brown Girl Dreaming author Jacqueline Woodson transports readers back in time and space to 1970s Brooklyn, where her protagonist, 11-year-old August, bonds and grows up with three other girls: Sylvia, Angela, and Gigi. The memory of Another Brooklyn captures fall’s retrospective nature, so be sure to get it on your nightstand before winter rolls around.

9. The Uninvited by Cat Winters

a masterfully crafted story of love, loss, and second chances. Set during the fear and panic of the Great Influenza of 1918, The Uninvited is part gothic ghost-story, part psychological thriller, perfect for those who loved The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield or The Vanishing by Wendy Webb. Twenty-five year old Ivy Rowan rises from her bed after being struck by the flu, only to discover the world has been torn apart in just a few short days. This was an amazing read. I didn’t expect much, but it blew me away. There are some really amazing twists and I have rushed through it.

10.   First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen

Lose yourself in Sarah Addison Allen’s enchanting world and fall for her charmed characters in this captivating story that proves that a happily-ever-after is never the real ending to a story. It’s where the real story begins.

11. The Witch’s Daughter by Paula Brackston

My name is Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith, and my age is three hundred and eighty-four years. Each new settlement asks for a new journal, and so this Book of Shadows begins.. taking place in two time periods  one is today and other one we see through the main characters memories is 17th century.  this story is about a woman who lived in days when witches were hanged and who ended up being turned into a witch herself. Ever since the demon made her into a witch she has been sorta promised to him and he has been following her through the time. I have read a lot of Witch books and I have to say that this book is one of the best! It’s a perfect read for everyone who likes to be transported back to old magical times and away fantastic unique worlds. It really is a good piece of historical fiction!

Happy New Year! It’s gotten a little quiet around here and I’m so sorry for disappearing in the middle of the carry on countdown without a word. We got some scary family news last month and I had to head back to my hometown a little earlier than originally planned - but things have gotten a little less serious so I’ll be able to go back to my place this friday (and hopefully get back to drawing again!). I’m sorry to all of you who have sent me a message and are still waiting for a reply - I promise I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! Til then I hope you’ve had lovely holidays and a good start into the new year! Have this rusty sketch of the boys as a little thank you for sticking with me, lots of love to all of you and see you soon ❤
