Description

This week on From the Front Porch, we have a new series: Annie Recommends! In this series, Annie curates a stack of books in a certain genre or theme for you – just as if you walked into our brick-and-mortar store, The Bookshelf. Sometimes, you just want a good book list.


This month, Annie recommends her favorite campus/dark academia novels and spooky reads. Plus, she’s curated two book flights for you to make your fall reading easy: a Spooky Reads Book Flight and a Dark Academia Book Flight.
