My commute is longer than ever before, so I have a LOT of time for reading on the train. And thank goodness for that, because this book is amazing - I've found myself not wanting to put it down even when I get to my stop. - Melissa

In honor of Latinx Heritage Month, and Spooky Season, I am currently reading Mexican Gothic. Only 50 pages in, but the descriptive imagery is stunning and I can tell things are about to get creepy. Our very own Jessica Maria reviewed and raved about it, what more could you want?! - Lauren Slow and meandering, the first hundred or so pages act as an unsettling fog which obscures the disturbing heart of the story. I’m obsessed. - Mel

The Tunnel

Ernesto Sabato,

Margaret Sayers Peden

Paperback

$16.74

$18.00

So begins Sabato's The Tunnel and if that doesn't get you swept into the story right away then I don't know what will. Coming to this book reminded me of my past dalliances with existentialism, nihilism, and absurdism. All relics of my past that still warm my soul! I'm only a few pages into this book but I'm loving it so far, plus it's from an Argentine writer. - Karen

Paperback

$16.69

I’ve taken to reading this aloud right before bed, the writing is so delightful. The weaving between English and Spanish feels familiar, like talking to my mom, or my cousins in Panama, and I wanted to hear it out loud because it makes me smile. I need things that make me smile these days! - Jessica Maria

bookcover for The Family Upstairs

The Family Upstairs

Lisa Jewell 

Book icon

Hardback

$27.00

After the mother of all readers block, I pulled this one off the shelf and I haven't stopped turning pages since. An enormous house in Chelsea (London, England) is inherited by the protagonist which has been abandoned and left to rot for decades. Or has it? Mystery, murder and secret siblings ensue. So far, so excellent. - PL
