It’s hotter than a hot pepper in the middle of the Sahara. So what better time to pretend that cooler weather has arrived than to start your Spooky Season prep? I scored some awesome arcs that are due to come out this fall and I am super excited to get started reading them. Now if you remember my posts from last year, I am a certified scaredy cat. But that just means I won’t be reading at bedtime for a little while.
What books are you excited to read this August?
