Just a note to let our members know that we will once again be holding Fall Flurries for the months of October, November and December.

For new members and a refresher:
During Fall Flurries we read books which are seasonal to the month.

It really is wide open. For example in October you could read a book by a Hispanic author because it is Hispanic Heritage Month.

Of course you could read a book about a ghost or a witch and that would fit.

It could be a book set in the Fall.

We share our reviews that we read for the month and add to our TBR while we are at it.

I am so ready for Fall Flurries! I've got a too long list from my multiple TBR Towers for October already.

Seriously! My lists could rival yours! Its only a matter of which do I pick? And how those fit in with the rest of the month!

Hispanic heritage month-
The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia

Little, Big by John Crowley - it’s about faeries, bookclub pick. maybe it fits - magic, Halloween costumes

Indigenous people’s day/month -

Disability Awareness month

I also found these for October

October is
Disability Awareness Month
National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)
National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month
Health Literacy Month
ADHD Awareness Month
Bullying Prevention Month

Observed focus weeks throughout October are:
Mental Illness Awareness Week (First week of October)
OCD Awareness Week (Second week of October)
National Health Education Week (Third week of October)

Observed focus days include:
National Depression Screening Day (October 10)
World Mental Health Day (October 10)

Don't forget that October brings Thanksgiving in Canada ... so a Canadian author / setting would also work!

You can also join Fall in Smut and read a Fall sports romance- 😅, just sayin'

Football! Coach brings his winning technique to the bedroom after the homecoming game!

Personally, my October list is purely witchy, cozy, smutty.

Thank you for mentioning it! You beat me to it!

I will, of course, be reading for Halloween in October.

I've got a lot of spooky reads lined up for October - I hope I get to at least some of them!

Just fyi to anyone who adds their books to the group bookshelf.

I have added a
fall flurry of holidays 2024
shelf.

Maybe (except for the current year), I should combine the previous years at some point...? Or maybe it's just easier to leave them separate for stats each year.
