Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
"Few novels have endured in the heart and memory as has Ray Bradbury’s unparalleled literary masterpiece Something Wicked This Way Comes. Scary and suspenseful, it is a timeless classic in the American canon."

Since that one was already nominated, would you like to nominate another?
Strange of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson
Love them all, looking forward to the poll!

The group has spoken, and our October Buddy Read is…
✨ Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley ✨
A groundbreaking Gothic novel that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a scientist whose obsessive pursuit of knowledge leads him to create life, only to recoil from the result. Shelley’s tale of creation and consequence is often called the first true work of science fiction, but it’s also a deeply human exploration of isolation, ambition, and what it means to be monstrous.
💬 Discussion will take place in the Official Group Book Discussion thread, so grab your copy and join us as we read together this October!

Theme: The Season of Spooky is Upon Us
👻 Boo, friends! October crept in like a shadow at midnight, and I’m running behind—so this month’s nomination + voting will be a little shorter than usual.
Important Dates:
📚 Nominations are OPEN Sept 26th - 29th
🗳️ Voting (via POLL) will be Sept 30th - Oct 4nd
📖 Reading & Discussion will be Oct 5th
How to nominate:
• Summon up to 3 titles from the official Rory Gilmore Reading List that fit the theme (spooky, eerie, Gothic, haunted, chilling, creepy vibes only!)
• Off-theme offerings will vanish into the mist…
Light your candles, dust off your cobwebbed shelves, and let’s see which sinister stories you bring forth. Can’t wait to see what haunts our October! 🦉
