Hot Off the Shelf

Your go-to column for buzzy new releases that deserve a spot in your beach bag, bedside stack, or bookmarked wish list.

October is here, and of course I’m making room for some spooky reads. I love a story that pulls me into its world, whether that means a wedding weekend that becomes a nightmare or a witch trying to manage family expectations while dealing with someone she would rather not find attractive. My reading mood changes, and sometimes I want the scares while other times, I’m perfectly happy with a little magic and romance.

Fall is here, and apparently so is the perfect excuse to fill our shelves with a little more magic, romance and danger. This week’s picks bring fae, fierce heroines, complicated love stories and, yes, plenty of yearning.

There’s something exciting about walking into a comic shop and finding a first issue that makes you want to follow a whole new team. If you missed DC’s September launches of Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and The Doom Patrol, you’re getting another chance: all three debut issues return to comic shops Nov. 4 with new cover art.

There is something about fall that makes me want to disappear into a fantasy world filled with magic, romance and just enough danger to make turning the pages irresistible.

Bookstore Romance Day may be over, but the season of falling in love is far from finished. This new collection of romances offers something for nearly every reader, from magical academies and Halloween towns to Scottish bookshops, Regency ballrooms and the high-speed world of Formula 1.

It might still be warm outside, but holiday romance season is officially calling. From fake dating in the Scottish Highlands to FBI agents chasing a very bad Santa, these upcoming releases are ready to bring the romance, laughs and a little heat. Grab the cocoa, or, if you’re in South Florida, an iced coffee, and start adding to that TBR.
