The week’s been a blur of deadlines, lukewarm coffee, and too-late nights — so let’s end it right, shall we? Welcome to Friday Finds, where I serve up the books that have been whispering to my TBR like sirens all week. Whether you’re planning to curl up in a reading nook or hide from responsibilities entirely (no judgment here), these new and noteworthy reads might just tempt you to clear your weekend schedule.
1️⃣ The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
A lush, magical historical novel set in the Spanish Golden Age — full of witchcraft, ambition, and impossible choices. Bardugo’s prose is as intoxicating as ever, and this one promises political intrigue with a heartbeat of myth.
2️⃣ The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman
A return to Arthurian legend, but told with Grossman’s signature emotional intelligence and sly wit. If you loved The Magicians but wished for more knights, destiny, and tragedy-laced heroism — this one’s calling.
3️⃣ When Ghosts Call Us Home by Katya de Becerra
A gothic YA mystery soaked in grief, filmmaking, and haunted family secrets. It’s eerie in the best possible way — like an abandoned theater still echoing with applause.
4️⃣ The House That Horror Built by Christina Henry
Because no autumn reading list is complete without a chill down the spine. Henry blends psychological unease with cinematic tension — a haunted house tale with teeth.
Whether you crave something dark and decadent or bright and brimming with magic, this week’s Friday Finds is a reminder that the best stories aren’t just read — they’re devoured.
