    Let’s talk spooky season reads 🕯️📚 I rounded up Let’s talk spooky season reads 🕯️📚 
I rounded up 25 must-read thrillers for fall 2026, from Gothic mysteries to psychological page-turners you won’t be able to put down. Think “Mexican Gothic,” “The Silent Patient,” “The God of the Woods,” and “Bright Young Women,” plus a few new-to-me picks on my TBR (hello, “Wolf Worm” 👀).
Comment THRILLERS and I’ll send the full list to your DMs! 🍂
Which thriller are you reading first this fall? Tell us below. ⬇️
    This Friday Five recap from Field Notes (my Substa This Friday Five recap from Field Notes (my Substack) has been sitting in my drafts for a while, and I am so excited to finally get it live! Here are 5 NC restaurants I have tried this year that are either new or new-to-me — and I haven’t stopped yapping about them since 🍽️
🍔 A smash burger & homemade chips from @fizz_ed_boone in @exploreboone that completely won me over as takeaway to @mastfarminn
🥪 @lrbprovisions in @durhamnc — the highly-anticipated newcomer that absolutely lives up to the hype
🍷 @laganaraleigh in @visitraleigh , which is genuinely my most-recommended spot right now (Tuesday half-price wine bottles, anyone?)
🍳 @delanceytavern in Durham for a Sunday brunch that gave me the best French toast I have ever eaten — and a deviled egg dip I am still thinking about
🥩 @therustleratthemills @rockymountmills, where the menu is simple, the steak and salad bar are perfect, and they make a helluva dirty martini
Bonus: all of my Substack notes end with a photo of Ruthie, so BGR makes her debut at the end of this one 🐾
