I love Spooky Season. I know that is basically cliche to say but seriously, let's just revel in it. The weather is nice. Pumpkin bread is delicious. And I can stay up too late every night reading spooky stories and eating candy that was meant for trick-or-treaters. Basically, this is me just living my best life. I always have at least one book that I look forward to reading around Halloween. This year it is Harrow the Ninth, the sequel to Gideon the Ninth which you all know I aboslutely adored.
