October 2023 - Has A Graveyard Scene

For this prompt, we’re looking for books that have a scene set in a graveyard or cemetery. This does not need to be a spooky, scary, or mysterious read — although it may be if you wish. The book could have a large portion of the plot set within a graveyard, or the setting could simply be featured in a small scene.


Here is the link for our Goodreads List, feel free to add your suggestions to it!
