This quirky treasure hunt through Boston, filled with lovable and eccentric characters, is so much fun. (Also check out Kate Racculia's earlier book Bellweather Rhapsody for Rabbit's teenage years.)

A book within a book that blends contemporary mystery with gothic suspense and maybe a ghost story – this is a perfect October read.

What do you do when your dragon's flame goes out? Turns out he just needs some love and support.

Ask Again, Yes is a moving portrait of two families whose lives intersect over the course of decades. Mary Beth Keane writes with great empathy for her characters as they struggle to find acceptance and forgiveness. I really cared about these characters.

An atmospheric and complex character drama, told through a series of distinct and compelling perspectives. The chapters read like interconnected short stories following the recent disappearance of two young girls, and the undercurrent of social and racial tensions on the remote Russian peninsula of Kamchatka.

Jane Harper has a gift for invoking an incredibly strong sense of place. The brutal Australian outback is more than a backdrop to an intricately plotted and emotionally satisfying mystery that kept me guessing. The Lost Man is a tense, atmospheric page turner with well drawn, flawed, and relatable characters.

What does Leo Tolstoy have to do with Orange is the New Black? Or Sylvia Plath with The Bachelor? Maris Kreizman's juxtapositions of great literature with pop culture icons are funny and clever, but also intuitively true on a deeper level the stories told through "high" and "low" culture may not be that different at their core. A great gift for the film, TV, and book lovers on your list.
