As we all know, Autumn is for spooky things. This is a fact.
The days are darker – and the spookiest day of all is still to come – which means (and I don’t mean to spook you….. but I do MWYHAHAHAHA) that around every corner and in every slither of shadow, there is a creature of the dark awaiting you.
So greet them with a smile and give them some book recommendations! Or ask for some. They might know some good ones.
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is a “Halloween Freebie!” And what’s better than spooky books and adding them to your TBR to make THAT even more spooky. Haha! My TBR is already capable of crushing me but I think it could be Stronger! Bigger! Better!
So today, I’m going to list books that are Paranormal, or books with specific Supernatural creatures!
SO GET YOUR SPOOKY – READING FEST ON!
All book covers link to Goodreads so that you can check them out too!
Paranorma- These aren’t normal at all tbh
From ley-lines, psychics and trying to resurrect a dead Welsh King to Warring Angels and Demons, these reads are sure to hit the spot!
Witch-tastic!
From a forbidden romance between a witch and a witch-hunter to a witch fighting hexes on a legendary vineyard in hopes to once again make exquisite wine, I have no doubt that these reads will inspire your latest potions!
Vampires Don’t Suck (but they do… for food)
From dystopian worlds with vampires patrolling the abandoned streets in search of a midnight snack, to a 1800’s New Orleans murder mystery where the prime suspects are all Vampires (but who’s surprised really), these vampire-ic books are sure to quench your blood lust!
Ghosts Are Hoping You Didn’t Forget About Them… They’re Still Here…Waiting Their Turn
From a ghost investigators’ daughter who is best friends with a ghost and needs to learn how to help ghosts cross over to ghost hunters and a very angry ghost that does a lot of the murder, I’m positive these books will possess you!
What spooky books are you reading this season?? Are you reading any revolving around a specific creature?? What are your plans for Halloween (if you’re celebrating)??
None of these are on my shelves but I just have to say that your entire intro w/ Elmo gif for emphasis is amazing; I cracked up.

There are a couple of amazing books on your list, I loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone and A Discovery of Witches! I heard many good things about House of Salt and Sorrows, so I am pretty curious about that one.

Oh my gosh, The Raven Boys is such a beautifully written series. I think it might just be the way that Maggie Stiefvater writes, it’s just so captivating! Her other books are the same, there’s something so charming about them! ❤
