reading
autumm is a perfect time for me to reduce my TBR list – i also love reading books that match the season (either through setting or vibe)! these are some of the books i'm planning to read this autumn, either new releases or some that i've been meaning...
cant wait to read this: such a classic Gothic novel and sapphic story. Also really excited as this book inspired Stoker's ‘Dracula’, which I loved. Short quick read which should be perfect for escaping a slump!
Carmilla - Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
really interested in this as I haven't read many ghost stories recently, heard somewhat mixed reviews but cannot wait! Also has a stunning clothbound cover!
The Turn of the Screw and Other Ghost Stories - Henry James, Philip Horne
the premise sounds so interesting, love the sense of isolation and vulnerability of the MC from the summary, cannot wait to read!!
The Only One Left - Riley Sager
i feel like i'm going to really enjoy the premise for this book, i think the atmosphere will be perfect for autumn – can't wait for it to be published!
Dive Bar at the End of the Road - Kelley Armstrong
