For the October pick, each library staff member has selected a different title to tempt you this autumn. Some are seasonal, some are tense, and some are downright scary, but they're all great for curling up with under a blanket. Take a peek, and as always, let us know what you think - we love talking books!
Kim: I Will Find You, by Harlan Coban
Jeremy: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Tales, by Washington Irving
Sabrina: The Pumpkin Spice Café, by Laurie Gilmore
Pam: The Book Witch, by Meg Shaffer
