Check out my mystery TBR for October. As a fantasy writer, I mainly read SFF novels and don’t prioritize mysteries, which I also love, often enough.

Here are a couple favs. I didn’t read as much with youngling this year, but we loved the five-book Lockwood & Co. series by Jonathan Stroud. Supernatural spookiness, friendships and hints of first love. Such a good book series and a good Netflix adaptation. I think this series is fun for all ages! I also […]
