Staff Picks: Mariana Alvarez’s Favorites
Hi! I’m Mariana, the sales assistant of Premium Sales on Penguin Random House’s Special Markets team. We handle orders specifically for giveaways, so I’m constantly learning about different titles within PRH! Whether it’s working on a book promo for a Hulu event or a Dr. Seuss giveaway, I’m always having fun. When I’m not reading, you can find me writing poetry, cozy gaming, or wandering around different bookstores and coffee shops in NYC. I’m a huge fan of dark academia, horror, thrillers, and the occasional sprinkle of romance books! Bonus if it’s a spooky romance. You can find me constantly reppin’ PRH on Instagram @marianalvarezz.

Whenever I see this cover in bookstores in NYC, I always wish I could go back in time to when I read it for the first time. At no point did I ever know where this story was going, and it was an insane page-turner. In the mood for a little twisted adventure? Fan of The Secret History and books that are impossible to put down? Then this one’s for you!

Spells for Forgetting
by Adrienne Young
As a Gilmore Girls, Practical Magic, and Spooky Season enthusiast, I absolutely devoured this one the first time I read it. Perfect for a cozy night in with a cup of tea and a little thunderstorm ambience if the mood outside isn’t right.

Cackle
by Rachel Harrison
Rachel Harrison is one of my favorite authors, and this book is what made me realize that! If you celebrate Summerween like me, then you need to read this one ASAP. It’s a darkly funny rollercoaster with the most bizarre cozy vibes as well. Harrison’s writing is so deliciously witchy and will 100% put a spell on you.
