October is National Book Month! 📚✨ At Betty, we’re proud to celebrate stories written by women—stories that move us, challenge us, and stay with us long after the last page. This month (and every month), we honor the power of women’s voices in shaping literature and culture.

Discover the Sámi, the Indigenous people of Norway, Sweden, Finland and parts of Russia with a deep bond to the land. In @sharonw.bsky.social’s If The Owl Calls, Oslo detective Hans Sorenson returns to his Sámi roots to investigate sabotage and a shocking murder.
