For Thanksgiving-themed tales, How to Catch a Turkey by Adam Wallace and Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano are both fabulously funny reads that will have the whole family laughing.

Chilling Thrillers and Cozy Mysteries

Spend Spooktober reading the scariest stories around. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno is a reimagining of classic gothic novels set in Mexico in the 1950s. When Noem Taboada receives a desperate message from her just-married cousin to come to save her from an unknown threat, the glamorous socialite makes her way to the menacing estate of High Place, where her cousin's creepy family resides.

In The Maidens by Alex Michaelides, brilliant therapist Mariana Andros becomes possessed by her certainty that Edward Fosca, a handsome and beloved Greek professor at Cambridge University, is a murderer. After a friend of her niece is murdered, Mariana grows even more obsessed, and that obsession will take her to dangerous places that will have her colleagues and loved ones alike questioning her sanity.

If you prefer your mysteries to be of the cozy variety, ThriftBooks has you covered. Check out the Noodle Shop Mysteries series by Vivien Chien. In the first book, Death by Dumpling, Lana Lee suffers after a brutal breakup and has to return to her family's restaurant, the Ho-Lee Noodle House. When an order of shrimp dumplings from the Chinese restaurant appears to cause the death of the restaurant's property manager, Lana must find out who is responsible for saving the restaurant and protecting her family.

Warm Up with Romances

Don't let the cold weather get you down. Let ThriftBooks' collection of romances keep you warm. In Colleen Hoover's stunning novel It Ends With Us, workaholic Lily finds herself in a too-good-to-be-true relationship with the handsome and assertive neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid. When her first love, Atlas Corrigan, reappears unexpectedly, the life she has built is threatened, and questions about her past and present will have to be answered.

Farrah Rochon's The Boyfriend Project series begins with The Boyfriend Project, a brilliant and engaging love story that celebrates female friendship as well as true love. When Samiah Brooks discovers her boyfriend has been not two-timing but three-timing her during a disastrous live tweet, she enters into a pact with her best friends to spend the next six months free of men. Enter the dreamy Daniel Collins, a man who might be too-good-to-be-true or boyfriend material; Samiah will have to wait and see.

In Janet Evanovich's Thanksgiving, Megan Murphy and Dr. Patrick Hunter have a meet-cute when Patrick's floppy-eared rabbit is found gnawing on Megan's skirt. What starts as anger at the bunny's infraction turns into something sweeter when the two make Thanksgiving dinner for both of their families in this quintessential fall romance.

Nothing is more comforting than a quality cozy reading session. Grab your blanket and your favorite mug and let ThriftBooks see to your fall reads needs.
