It's the MOST wonderful time of the year—the classic, feel-good "beach reads" are put away for brighter days and we can comfortably get back under the covers of books that are a little darker, a little more magical, a little more surreal...

The selections below make up some of my most anticipated and recommended Off/Kilter reads hitting shelves this season. Click the covers to discover more about these titles, available on All Lit Up or use our Shop Local button to find them at a bookstore near you.

Stay weird and stay well,

—Your Off/Kilter Host, Leyla T.
