SEPTEMBER "Speculative Stories"
Read a book from the speculative fiction subgenre- a book with elements that do not exist in the real world.

 Speculative fiction is a genre of writing that allows for limitless possibilities. This type of writing can include elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more. Whatever the setting, the stories in this genre are driven by curiosity and the possibilities of what could be.
