📚 November TBR!

This month I added a few titles in honor of National Native American Heritage Month. 🍂

Wherever your TBR is taking you, tell me what you’re diving into — I always love seeing what everyone’s reading.

Did you ghost your TBR in October… or did your TBR ghost you? 👻💔
Or maybe you were out here putting the boo in BOOkworm? 📚🐛✨

Spooky season may be over, but cozy reading season is just getting started 🍂📖
What book are you most excited to dive into in November?

I hit up the Friends of the San Tan Library book sale this weekend and had to do some serious digging, but it paid off-2 books for $2! I hadn't heard of either before (Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx and Old School by Tobias Wolff), but that's half the fun.

Just discovered the new Folio Society edition of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow — complete with 7 beautiful illustrations by Manshen Lo and a new intro by Gabrielle Zevin (happy birthday!).

T3 is one of my favorite novels. Anyone else love this one?

🎂 Remembering Ursula K. Le Guin on her birthday! (Oct 21)

"We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel… is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become."
—Ursula K. Le Guin

🎉✨ Remembering Oscar Wilde on his birthday! (Oct. 16)

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” —Oscar Wilde

Over a century later, his wit, wisdom, and fearless individuality still inspire us to live boldly, think deeply, and embrace the beauty in our quirks.

💀 Spooky month TBR 🎃

October means it’s time to lean into all things dark, chilling, and a little uncanny 👻📚

Some classics, some horror, some apocalyptic mayhem—basically the perfect mix for a haunted October. 👀🍂

Which one should I start with first?

Did you know about the IRL Halloween tree at Disneyland?

On the 35th anniversary of Bradbury’s novel, an oak in Frontierland was given a makeover of orange lights and hand-painted jack-o’-lanterns. Bradbury said “I’m glad I’m going to be a permanent part of the spirit of Halloween at Disneyland.”

Good to know! I snagged it because it was mentioned in The Friend by sigrid Nunez 😏 really looking forward to reading it!!

Colin 📚🦔☕️🍵 @literarycolin.bsky.social · Oct 2

I really knew nothing about it, but I saw it mentioned several times as having some of the most amazing prose, so when it popped up for a cheap price I thought hey, it must be a sign!
