Thank you so much for including Witch & Wombat on this spooky fun list!
This is a great list of spooky and not so spooky books. I always find books I have never seen or books that were never on my radar and I am grateful for the sharing. I would really love it if the lists that are holidayish or first day of schoolish etc. could come out months before the intended time frame so that librarians could purchase the books in advance of the event. Thanks again.
