I prioritize spooky reads in October for obvious reasons, although I never get through as many as I’d like. Still, the books in this list (with one non-spooky interruption) were worthy of reading during the most haunted month of the year.
I somehow let my September reads go by, but fear not! I certainly read, though I may have been a little in over my head to reflect.
One of my favorite memoirs published this year, E.J. Koh’s The Magical Language of Others, has stuck with me since I read it in May. I reviewed it for The Adroit Journal, which you can now read here.
I highly recommend this memoir of family, language, and loss.
