This week on the Reading Under the Covers Podcast, we’re diving into everything from must-read books by Hispanic and Latinx authors to the buzziest new releases and even a bit of bookish gossip you didn’t see coming.

Originally recorded live on Novel Hour, tune in every week live on Youtube.

✨ Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• 📚 Hispanic Heritage Month recommendations — gothic horror, multigenerational witchy tales, vampire romance, dark military romance, and more.
• 🆕 New book releases (Sept 14–20) — the week’s best in romance, thrillers, cozy witchy reads, sci-fi horror, and swoony historical romance novellas.
• 🎭 Bookish news & gossip — from the Babysitters Club musical (yes, really!) to reactions on the National Book Awards longlist.
• 📺 What we’re watching — Stephen King’s The Long Walk, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, reality TV chaos, and the Netflix romcom The Wrong Paris.

Whether you’re building your fall TBR, keeping up with literary awards, or just here for the hot takes, this episode is packed with bookish fun.
