It's October - one of the best times of the year! Join us as we take on all the fun of the spooky season!

Besides our chat on upcoming book adaptations, a mention of a recent Disneyland trip and an upcoming Ireland trip, and NaNoWriMo goals, we discuss many books that might give you something to add to your end of the month reading list.

Just a small sampling of the books we discuss:

• Slewfeet by Brom
• Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar
• Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
• Witchy Sour by Gina LaManna
• Eyes of Darkness by Dean Koontz
• The Church Beneath the Roots by Felix Blackwell

What more would you want during October than witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, zombies and all matters of things that go bump in the night? Well, if you are a Robin Cook fan you're in luck! We do a little dive into medical thrillers as well.

There is definitely something for everyone this month don't miss out. We will be back next month with a guest author!

Don't forget to vote for us beginning Nov. 1 for the Indieverse Awards!

What's in store for you in the latest episode? More of what you have come to expect and love from Speaking LITerally! We give our respects to Dame Maggie Smith, discuss the end of Banned Books Week 2024, and make our formal Booker Prize predictions.

Sarah Chamberlain's new book, Slow Burn, and Hooked by Emily McIntire get some mini book discussion air time. And, this is all before we welcome Indie author, Madeleine Elizabeth to the show.

While Madeleine shares her thoughts and ideas on her debut novel, Castle Witch, she also discusses multiple Taylors, Maine lobsters, the importance of Finding Nemo, and the power of traditional literary elements.

It's September, which means it's time to kick off spooky season. Nothing does that better than bringing together the Speaking LITerally Book Club girls for one of our best book discussions to date! What book? Darcy Coates' Gallows Hill! Get ready for a great time!

The Gilmore Girls and Hypnovels are also topics discussed in between book conversations which include The Host by Stephanie Myers, Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff and One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig.

It may be one of the longer episodes, but you won't regret sticking with it until the end. The speed round game this episode is definitely one for the books.
