I'm all about spooky,
atmospheric, suspenseful entertainment as soon as the calendar flips to October. But despite the fact that Halloween is my favorite holiday, I'm a chicken. I'm the person who covers their eyes during horror movie previews. I refuse to visit any haunted house for any age group. And I've even stopped watching TV shows in the middle of the season after too many jump scares! Yet, at the same time, I love a good ghost story, and I'm always on the hunt for historical fiction about witches. (Witch Born was perfect for that!) This fall I'm trying not to give into my fearfulness, so I'm scouring my wishlist for a haunting tale to listen to next...as long as it won't give me nightmares.

This Book Changed My Entire Perspective

Award-winning book turned Oscar-worthy movie
When The Hate U Give, Angie Thomas's debut novel, came out in early 2017, it sparked difficult—and necessary—conversations about race, violence, and activism.

It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn't matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up.This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, "pretty" and "ugly." And it's also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two.
