I’ve selected the best fiction books published this October and matched them up with each zodiac sign!

So grab your mug, find your cozy corner, and let’s see what the universe wants you to read next. 🌙
Happy Reading!
Your friend,
Audry
P.S. I’m just about finished reading The Thursday Murder Club (so charming, I want to read the series!), and nearly halfway through listening to The Amalfi Curse by Sarah Penner (sea witches, Italy, and intrigue - what’s not to like?). Also, my mom just finished reading Buckeye by Patrick Ryan. She liked it, but didn’t love its emotional heaviness.
P.P.S. Readers like you are the best birthday gift! 💗 For my birthday, from now until the end of October, I will be donating half of my paid and founding member subscriptions to Little Free Library! 🎁Because free access to books is more important than ever!
