What We Are Reading: Halloween Edition

What We Are Reading: Halloween Edition

Crystal's Pick & Pairings

This book is not only trending but has a mix of romance and smut with a spooky complex. I would like to put a disclaimer this is a stalker romance so has a dark side. I picked the Tom and Jerry drink because the catchline that is often said is "Are you afraid, little mouse?".

I specifically sought out something "witchy" for the holiday. The fact this is considered a "Memoir of a Witch" was what sold me. It's less creepy and more olden day fantasy and folklore but I was fully invested the whole book. With the setting in Germany, I wanted you to have a full experience while reading and dining.

I love to read Agatha Christie’s books in the fall, and this one is perfect for the spooky season. Hercule Poirot is back again to solve another murder at, you guessed it, a Halloween party. This book is a perfectly paired with a Honeycrisp Apple Sangria. Or, you can whip up these sangrias for a group and have a mystery board game night!

Listen the theme is Halloween?! How could I not recommend The Monsters of Templeton, one of my many reads this month. With this creepy ghost themed suspenseful thriller, the New York City lights and traffic weren't the only things keeping me up at night.

The perfect cozy alternative for the spooky holiday. This cozy mystery was a book recommended by a friend and outside what I would normally read but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fans of Only Murders In The Building will love this!

My book club picked this for our horror book theme. It's part comedy, part horror and 100% a book that I'll never forget! It's creepy and irresistibly freaky. Totally unique and highly recommend read that will stay with you longer than expected.
