Vote for September Book!

This month, we’re exploring books where characters reinvent themselves, uncover hidden truths, or are forced to begin again. From ivy-covered campuses to windswept islands and small towns, these stories mix mystery, magic, history, and heart. There more options this month, but I tried to include a mix of genres with the throughline of fall vibes!
