Spooky season is upon us, but you know what’s really scary? Yep, you got it. The record-setting amount of book bans and challenges that continue to sweep the nation are downright spine-tingling.

Luckily, Bookshop.org’s Banned Books Week promotion is here to ward off all that ghoulish nonsense. The not-so-secret weapon? Independent booksellers, of course.

Head to bookshop.org/shop/wanderlustmobilebookstore (link in bio) and you will receive 15% off select Banned Books Week titles* when using code BBW26 at checkout. (*Discount off list prices, excluding ebooks.) Offer valid Oct. 4th–18th, 2026.
