CURATION BY CEE • Spoooky Teen Books for Halloween

October 29, 2022 Leave a Comment

Curation by Cee is a series where I have carefully selected books that fit a specific theme, in order to set up tables and endcap displays for readers to peruse. This is something thing I already do at work, and find a lot of joy curating books that I want readers to pick up.

Spooky, scary season is upon us—the best month of the year gives us the best vibes (you can try to fight me on this one). I may be a scaredy cat, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the spooky nature of Halloween, nor does it mean I wouldn’t read a horror book.

I bring you a curation of the teen books for Halloween—anthologies, body horror, queer ghost stories and more!

These are the teen books on my bookstore’s Halloween display this year:

Last time, I showcased fiction books for Hispanic Heritage Month; this time, it’s the teen and kids—specifically Middle Grade—books. You’ll find books exploring ghosts and Mexican urban legends, being an American with undocumented parents, what it means to be illegal, finding love in the most unexpected places, and so much more!

CURATION BY CEE • Fiction for Hispanic Heritage Month

Forget about Julia Alvarez, House on Mango Street and Love in the Time of Cholera! It’s time for new classics.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m showcasing books by Latinx authors that are an instant must for your bookshelves—familial strife, feminine power, psychological horror, immigrants searching for that American dream, and much more! These are the books my co-worker and I have curated for a display at work.
