Spotlight On is a new feature that focuses on the ones I’m most excited about in the coming month.

We’re getting to that time of year when fewer and fewer books are being released. In theory, this would be the perfect time to get caught up on all those books we missed. In theory. 🙂 I’ve already pre-ordered my Audible copy of The Toll (the narrator is fantastic for this trilogy) and I treated myself to an early birthday splurge and got the OwlCrate limited edition copy of Call Down the Hawk. Cannot wait to see how gorgeous that is in person!

I haven’t been posting a lot lately, been in one massive creative rut for quite some time, so when I decided to really start working at getting back at it I made the decision not to go back to the same standard type of posts (i.e. Waiting on Wednesday). Spotlight On is a new feature that focuses on the ones I’m most excited about in the coming month.

October, as expected, brings a slew of creepy reads to get us all into the season.
