Aardvark is going VERY spooky for October, and I am absolutely not mad about it.

October 2026 BOTM Predictions
It’s time for my favorite monthly guessing game: October BOTM predictions! October is always one of the more fun months to predict because I’m hoping BOTM leans into a few spooky, atmospheric, or mysterious reads while still giving us the usual mix of romance, historical fiction, and contemporary fiction. There are so many good October releases this year that…

June 2026 Book of the Month
Book of the Month June picks are here and I have thoughts. This month’s lineup feels a little different from the typical BOTM vibe, it’s a bit of an eclectic mix and I’m not sure all of them scream “BOTM pick” to me. That said, the add-ons are surprisingly strong this month and there are…
