THE CLOISTERS by Katy Hays is our November pick and it has the perfect sinister, atmospheric vibe we crave as we move into late fall.

Ann Stilwell comes to NYC for the summer to work at The Met as as a curatorial associate. However, her whole summer plan and life is turned upside down when she's assigned to The Cloisters, a gothic museum and garden renowned for its medieval art collection and its group of enigmatic researchers studying the history of divination. What begins as academic curiosity quickly turns into obsession when Ann discovers a hidden 15th-century deck of tarot cards that might hold the key to predicting the future.

Our pick is THE LUMINARIES, the first in a new series by Susan Dennard.

It has secret societies, monster hunters, deadly trials, and maybe a little romance? OK - there's some romance.

Sometimes it takes some magic to face your fears and secrets.

Thanks for the picture, Tor Teen!

“More people than we realize are works in progress, are trying to figure out a way to think about the world…As Beyoncé said in her new album, they're contradicted. They're internally contradicted more than we think. We can make the kind of change we seek, we deserve in this country, if we allow the idea that more of us are contradicted, more of us need help sorting through the world, and we have the patience—we can muster that kind of patience and love to help people sort through how they see the world.” --Anand Giridharadas on Poured Over

“I always feel like as a reader, I always want to go in ready to be changed, ready to be transformed by what I'm reading, ready to be expanded. And that's what I love about books, they work on you kind of like magic.” --Madeline Miller on the podcast

“I had never known what it was like to feel full. And I know that sounds like really odd, but because most people can—I would be with friends and a friend would stop eating. She's like, I'm full. And I'm like, What's wrong with me that I don't know what it feels like to feel full? And I don't know what the answer that question is, to this day. I don't know if it's a psychological emotional thing, if it was an actual physical thing that like my tummy was bottomless. But this feeling of fullness makes me feel like, it's my body, like I'm actually finally having a conversation with my body.”⁠

“It's hard to be funny, you can't really plan on—you don't know what will land with people…. absurdity just exists constantly in the world that we live in. And to my mind, the humor comes from the way different people traverse absurdity, how they try to normalize it, or how they freak out because they want to build their own weirdness on top of it. And so for me, that's where I get a lot of the humor, just the different ways that people respond to the absurdity around them.” -- Kevin WIlson on Poured Over
