We hope you’ve been enjoying attending our first-ever virtual Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards, with coverage of this year’s BGHB winners — videos, interviews, articles, and more — each week in October. It’s all archived, and everything is free — find the full schedule here. In this issue of Notes and our annual #HornBOO #13BooksofHalloween we’re highlighting the spooky season (and seasons in general). We’ve also been counting down until Election Day (today: #20moredays #HBVotes #GetOuttheVote). With so much to fear this Halloween — be sure to vote!

From the October 2020 issue of Notes from the Horn Book.
