Thrillers That Are the Opposite of Sleep Aids

There’s no better way to wait for fall than curled up with a spine-tingling, bone-chilling thriller. I want to be gasping out loud and digging through my closet for a night light. Who needs to sleep when there are more books to read?

Pick your favorite horror movie, and we'll give you a book rec

Halloween is upon us! If you've been paying attention, you'll know Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love it so much! Honestly, I would dress up and go to haunted houses every day in October if I could. Alas, dressing as a witch or a goblin everyday is generally frowned upon, and there are no haunted houses close enough to my house for me to visit everyday. So how do I get my Halloween fix through the month of October? Movies and books, baby! But how to decide what to read next? I GOT YOU! Pick your favorite of these scary movies, and I'll give you a book to add to your TBR. Reader, beware! A spooky time awaits!
