“Victober” October Reading Possibilities
🍂📚 Happy Victober & Spooky Season! It’s that magical time of year when classics meet cozy autumn vibes — and I couldn’t be more excited to share my October "pile of reading possibilities" with you. This month I’m diving into some Victorian reads for #Victober, along with a stack of atmospheric, seasonal books perfect for crisp fall days. I just love the autumn reading season with my whole heart!
I’m so excited to share what I’m planning to read for Victober this year! Since it’s the 10-year anniversary, the creators have set us a special challenge — 10 prompts for 10 years — and as someone who’s very motivated by checking things off a list, I couldn’t be more thrilled. I’ll be sharing the books I’ve chosen for each of the challenges, as well as a few extra titles I’m considering as reading possibilities.
