Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.
This week’s prompt:
Do you read a certain type of book in October? Does autumn change your reading habits? Or do you simply go with what’s become available on your library waitlist?
What’s your October reading vibe? Cozy, creepy, gothic, magical, or something else?
How to play:
- On your blog: Copy the question/image for your blog, answer it there, and post a quick comment here with a link or trackback to your post so we can read it.
- On social media: Copy the image, answer the prompt, and post a quick comment here with a link.
- Right here: Answer in the comments and start the discussion here. No need to have a blog to play.
Note: If it’s your first time here, your comment may end up in moderation. (My spam filter is aggressive.) I’ll be in after my writing sprints to set it free.
P.S. The prompt is always open, and you don’t have to play on Thursday. Comment whenever you like!

So, I don’t read horror, but I do read gothic and perhaps “cozy” horror (courtesy of T. Kingfisher) during October. Mysteries, too, are something I look for in the fall. There’s something about curling up with something hot to drink and something just a little bit thrilling or scary when the leaves start to turn.
