The Results

Mostly A’s

If you picked mostly A’s, your next fall read is You Are The Detective: The Creeping Hand Murder by Maureen Johnson and Jay Cooper! You love the thrill of a mystery and will stop at nothing to find the murderer. Luckily for you, this solve-it-yourself murder mystery lets you do just that! With detailed illustrations of crime scene photos and suspects, you have all the clues you need to uncover Roy Peterson’s killer.

Mostly B’s

If you picked mostly B’s, you got Everything She Does Is Magic by Bridget Morrissey! No one does Halloween like you do. With a lovely, sapphic romance between a brooding witch and a bubbly mortal, this book is the perfect cozy read for you this fall. And did we mention it’s set in a town where every day practically feels like Halloween? We just know it’d be a good fit on your bookshelf.

Mostly C’s

If you picked mostly C’s, you got The House Of Quiet by Kiersten White! Rather than the celebratory Halloween spirit, you prefer the quiet, uncanny spookiness of the season. Things that go bump in the night fascinate you. You love a scary story that sounds like it could happen by some cruel twist of fate. Which is exactly why a haunting Gothic fantasy like this one belongs on your TBR list.

Mostly D’s

If you picked mostly D’s, you got The Summer I Ate The Rich by Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite! You might be a bit of cynic when it comes to Halloween, seeing no need for such expensive decorations or so many themed candy bars. This holiday is more transactional for you, and we respect that. So we recommend this contemporary horror novel that also speaks on immigrant families, classism, and the elite.

Tie Between Two Choices

If you got a tie between two or more answer choices, you’re a tough one to crack! But for now, you can pick whichever book speaks to you the most from this list. Feel free to try again and break your tie!
