What I’m Reading In October
What are you reading this month? Do you arrange your to-read pile based on the seasons, or do you prefer to read on a whim? It's a bit of both for me; I have some spooky options as well as classics in this list.
5 Intriguing Facts About Bram Stoker
I decided to reread it after almost a decade and felt as if I were opening a new book. When a long time passes between rereads, you forget enough of a book for surprises become surprises again; magic regenerates and drama is fresh as ever.

This year I resolved to write a poem a day, and I’ve been keeping up pretty well. I’ll share them on here occasionally. If you want to read them as I go daily, follow my Instagram, @mariellahunt!
