September has come to an end, so it’s time to share my October TBR! And for this month, I’m actually planning on doing something a little bit unconventional for me and not (fully) planning out my reading. This is especially abnormal for me because I enjoy picking out spooky books for the season, but I decided to go against that this month.
While I enjoy picking out spooky reads for my October TBR (and will likely read some anyway), I really just want to see what I’m in the mood for. I love planning and sticking to my TBR, but my mood has been fluctuating way too much recently to plan my reading around that. So this month, I’m going to read the ARCs I have planned and dedicate the rest to whatever strikes me at the moment from my physical TBR. It should be fun – I haven’t had a mood reading month in a long time!
So without further ado, here’s what I plan to read this month!
We Keep the Dead Close by Becky Cooper
This is the Feminist Book Club Pick for October. I’ve been slowly working my way back into true crime, and I do like to keep up with the books each month, so this is one I’d definitely like to read for my October TBR. I’m not too familiar with this case either, so that combined with the length of this book has me very curious.
A Face for Picasso by Ariel Henley
Thank you to FierceReads and NetGalley for the ARC! I read Ariel Henley’s piece in Disability Visibility earlier this year and it’s one of the most memorable of the collection for me, so when I saw Henley was publishing a memoir I knew I wanted to read it too.
Bad Girls Never Say Die by Jennifer Mathieu
Thank you to FierceReads for the ARC! I enjoyed reading Moxie several years ago, and I love the idea of this book being a feminist retelling of The Outsiders. I’ve actually read the first few chapters of this book already and was hooked, so I look forward to continuing it.
Under a Starlit Sky by E.M. Castellan
Thank you (one more time!) to FierceReads and NetGalley for the ARC! While I wasn’t totally in love with the first book, I do want to return to this setting and cozy up with historical fantasy, especially this time of year. I’m also curious to see how the story will progress from the last one!
Those are all of the books on my TBR for October! Let me know if you read any of these or plan to.

Bad Girls Never Say Die sounds very interesting. I like the idea of a feminist retelling of The Outsiders too.
It’s really good so far! I like the twist on it.
