October reading calls for witches, a few secrets, something a little unsettling, and a romance to recover with.
October Is for Reading is a curated reading list from The Fiction House, organized into four moods: Something Witchy, Something Unsettling, Something Mysterious, and Something Cozy. Each book includes a short synopsis to help you choose what sounds good.
You’ll also find a letter from the editor and an October reading log to keep track of what you finish.
Choose your mood. Make your stack. Leave room for the book that wasn’t on your list.
Digital PDF download. No physical product will be shipped.
