The protagonist, Pepper, has a cursed contract managing The Dead of Night, a Halloween store that appears every autumn. When it disappears (instantly, because magic), no one remembers Pepper exists.

A Steamy Friends-to-Lovers Beach Read: My Best Friend’s Honeymoon by Meryl Wilsner Review
This summer, I really fell in love with reading by the water. I did some beach reading, but mostly, I just packed a bottle of water and a snack, walked myself down to the waterway, found a bench, and cracked open a book. It’s so peaceful. And between the cover and setting of My BestRead More

Regency Romances About Working Women: The Feminine Pursuits Series by Olivia Waite
Earlier this year, I read Olivia Waite’s Murder by Memory, a delightful sci-fi mystery novella. Having seen recommendations for her historical romance novel, The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics, I decided to read all three Feminine Pursuits books.

Growing Up in the Intersections: Another Appalachia by Neema Avashia Review
This memoir tells the story of growing up at multiple intersections — queer, Indian, and female — in West Virginia. But it also follows the author as she transitions into city life in Boston with a white Jewish partner. It’s not written in a linear or chronological order, so each chapter doesn’t read as aRead More
