I do not recommend listening to this audiobook while driving down the Pike in the dark after your shift at the bookstore because this is one of the most creepy, terrifying books I’ve ever read. While horror is not my usual genre, the main characters were so relatable and endearing that I had to follow them to the end. Even when I was yelling at my car speakers when they couldn’t see what was right in front of them. Kara, or Carrot as she is know by her uncle, is a freshly-divorced 30-something who has managed to find mostly-stable ground working and living at her uncle’s museum of curios, the Glory to God Museum of Natural Wonders, Curiosities, and Taxidermy, in North Carolina. And then she finds a hole in the wall. Which leads to a hallway that shouldn’t be physically possible. Which leads to a locked bunker with a body inside. Which leads to a new world, filled with water, and bunkers, and willow trees. But of course, there’s much more than meets the eye. With more curiosity than common sense, Kara and her best friend, Simon, decide to explore. And discover the meaning of the ominous graffiti they find, Pray they are hungry. If you, too, wish you could celebrate Halloween year-round, this is the book for you.

Dixit tests the flexibility of your imagination and how well you know your fellow players. Each card has some very cool art on it, and each round, one player tries to get as few players as possible to correctly guess which one they’re describing—without making it so obscure that nobody gets it right. Lots of fun, even if you don’t bother keeping score.

Fast paced, frantic, and often hilarious, Anomia is a great party game. When two cards match, try to name something in the correct category before your opponent. Great for those who like competitive, high energy games that don’t take long to play.

You’ve probably heard of Settlers of Catan, and it’s a classic for a reason. The quintessential resource and building game, Catan is tons of fun and easier to learn than it looks. The changing board and numerous expansions allow the game to be fresh and fun no matter how many times you’ve played.
