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.
