October is almost here, which means it’s time to choose the next Cyn’s Workshop Book of the Month! And naturally, I had to lean into the spooky-season energy. 👻📚

This month’s poll has ten contenders, with everything from murder and dark fantasy to romance, magic, and books that just look like they belong on an October TBR.

As always, the winning book will become Cyn’s Workshop’s October Book of the Month, receiving a featured review and month-long promotion on the website. This is not a book club or read-along, so there’s no reading schedule or required participation—just your chance to help decide which book gets the spotlight!

Here’s what’s up for voting:

• 🔪 The Murder Party by Cindy R. X. He
• 🌙 Mortal Things by Marie Lu
• ✨ Spellwright by Heather Kassner
• 🌿 Nightcurse by Emma Hinds
• 🔥 The Age of Fury by John Stephens
• 🖤 A Darker Act by Amy Goldsmith
• 🦋 Dreamweaving by O.O. Sangoyomi
• 🦂 Scorpion Deep by CG Drews
• 🔥 The End of Us by Sandra Proudman
• 🌃 Until the Last Light Goes Out by Courtney Gould

Whether you’re voting for the murder mystery, the darkest fantasy, the book with the prettiest cover, or simply the one you desperately want me to review, cast your vote and help choose October’s winner!

The winning title will receive a featured Cyn’s Workshop review plus month-long promotion on the website.

And considering this lineup?

I’m genuinely not sure which one is going to win. 🎃📚
