Top 10 Tuesday — Atmospheric Reads, Halloween Edition

28 Oct

Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT topic is a Halloween Freebie. Last week bloggers posted about cozy/atmospheric novels. I chose cozy with a follow-up of atmospheric books today. To fit with the Halloween theme I am defining atmospheric as a book setting that conjures up a feeling of mystery and intrigue, with a little bit (or a lot) of spooky thrown in. It’s always good to have at least one spooky read during October. 😉 I hope you find one that intrigues you.

    Great selection of books! You know I love me some Jaime Jo Wright…but I enjoy most of these as well (a few I haven’t read).

    These are all new to me books but the covers alone give such a spooky vibe. I love it.

    I hope you have a spooky week and a Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻

    I prefer atmospheric/lightly spooky books to terrifying horror novels, so this is a great list for me to explore. I haven’t read any of them yet.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
