In this episode, Abigail and Emily each select three books that they would recommend you read during Spooky Season.

What is Spooky Season you might ask? It's that time of year when the air is crisp, leaves crunch beneath your feet, the sky is blue and Halloween is right around the corner. Spooky Season books can have supernatural elements, be creepy/scary, have a mystery, be set in the fall, or just have a general fall vibe (think When Harry Met Sally, ok).

Emily's Picks: 

• The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
• In the Waning Light by Loreth Anne White 
• Shiver, Linger, Forever (Wolves of Mercy Falls Series) by Maggie Stiefvater

Abigail's Picks: 

• Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper
• Cackle by Rachel Harrison 
• The Once and Future Witches by Alix Harrow

It's finally here, the moment we're sure you've all been waiting for... We're going to deep dive The Twilight Saga. Join us as we discuss the famous books, the movie adaptation, and the social issues raised by some of the plot points. 

We love Twilight ourselves, but look at the series with a critical eye to see how it holds up years later.
