Back to School ~ Dark Academia Books

Since Back to School is the theme for me this month, why not showcase some dark academia books? Dark academia is a genre I’ve only started reading since it was getting popular the past few years. I haven’t read a lot of it but I am always trying to expand my reading list. I’m definitely looking forward to reading Babel when it releases this month! Do you like dark academia books?

Back to School ~ Dark Academia Books

I’ve only read two from this list: A Lesson in Vengeance and A Deadly Education! Everything else is on my TBR but I did honestly try to read Ninth House and just wasn’t in the mood for some reason. Will eventually pick it up again, I think. Anyway let me know any dark academia books that you would recommend in the comments below.

My Favorite Book Cover Color of the Year – Purple

Back to School ~ Books with School Uniforms on the Cover

Did you go to private school and wear a uniform? I went to public school so we could wear anything we wanted – well not anything, but you know what I mean. My kids go to public school and they have to wear a t-shirt uniform. I kind of like the idea, since you always know what you will be wearing and cuts down the chances of a wardrobe meltdown lol. Here are book covers with school uniforms on the cover.

Books with School Uniforms on the Cover

I do love a cover with a school uniform on it. I don’t know why, maybe because I never went to private school and it makes me curious what it was like? Not sure, but I keep reading the stories!

Back to School ~ Books Set in a Prep School

I love books set in a prep school or boarding school – why do bad things always happen there?! 😅 It’s always the perfect setting for a mystery or thriller. Or it’s the perfect setting to dethrone the popular kids and fall in love. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t think I could deal with the pressures though. Here are some books set in a prep school or boarding school.

What is with all the bloody covers? Told you bad things happen there, at least in the stories!
