It’s nearly October again, and it’s time to announce our discussion titles for our upcoming Butler Book Banter on Wednesday, 10/26/16 “Spooky YA (and Tween).” We listened to you and added some tween titles to the YA roster this time! Be prepared to be scared:

The Inn Between
by Marina Cohen (Roaring Brook, 2016)

The Killing Jar
by Jennifer Bosworth (Farrar Straus Giroux, 2016)

The Last Bogler
by Catherine Jinks (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016)

Teen Frankenstein
by Chandler Baker (Feiwel and Friends, 2016)

Bonus reading! We’re starting to prepare for Holly Black’s 2017 Butler Lecture, and her oeuvre fits nicely with B3 this month. Revisit Newbery Honor Doll Bones (Simon & Schuster, 2013) or teen faves The Coldest Girl in Coldtown (Little, Brown, 2013) and The Darkest Part of the Forest (Little, Brown, 2015).

Whether you’ve read all, some, or none, join us for a spooky time on October 26. Books and snacks will be out at 5:30 and we’ll discuss from 6-7. Boo!
