It’s time for a new set of pop-up prompts. These are for anyone who needs a little nudge when deciding what to read each month, or for readers who want an extra challenge throughout the year.

Since school is back in session, it seems like the perfect time to read a book set in academia that is shrouded in secrets.

Here are a few other suggestions (there are so many more out there!):

• If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
• Bunny by Monda Awad
• Babel by R.F. Kuang
• The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
• The Maidens by Alex Michaelides
• These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever
• Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang

Fall is the perfect time to settle in with a nice cup of tea and a cozy mystery.

Here are a few other suggestions:

• The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
• The Windsor Knot by S.J. Bennett
• Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala
• A Very Irish Mystery by Verity Bright
• The Masala Chai Mystery Club by MJ Soni
• One Death at a Time by Abbi Waxman
