October Reads: What I Want to Read

October is the best month for themed reading, so I thought I would make a list of the Octoberish books that I'm hoping to read this year. I probably won't get to them all because of school, but here's the books I'm going to be picking from this month.

In the Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters
This is Winters debut novel. I loved The Cure for Dreaming and Winters has made her way onto my auto-read list. I love the way she does paranormal historical fiction, and how she adds old photographs and advertisements into her works. This is the first one I will be picking up this month.
The Uninvited by Cat Winters
This is Winters newest novel and  I just ordered it the other day, as stated above Winters is perfect for the month of October. This one takes place during the Spanish Flu. I also think that this is Winters first adult novel, so I'm interested to see how it compares to her YA novels. 
A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb
I've owned this one for awhile, and I think it will be a good quick fall read. It's about a teenage girl who is a ghost I do believe. 
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvator
This one shouldn't be a surprise, it has been on every single TBR I have made for the past two years, but I am determined to get to it this year.

What's on your October TBR?
On Wednesday I'll be sharing my recommendations for October reads!

  1. I think I need to check out Cat Winters, because I do love me some paranormal historical fiction. Good luck with your TBR, Mallory! I'd like to read The Raven Boys soon, too. :)

  2. I want to read The Raven Boys this month too. I started listening to this on audiobook, but I don't really like audiobooks, so I never got to finish. I'm hoping that this will be the month!

  3. I don't like to decide in advance what to read, so I don't really have an October TBR... I loved The Raven Boys, and I hope you will, too! The other books look good, too, I look forward to reading your reviews, Mallory!
