#HauntedShelf #Restlessspirits

This year we are doing team lead favourites rather than buddy reads for #HauntedShelf

You get an additional 15pts if you read a favourite from any team lead. If it's a series, you can read any book in the series

#Falling
Day 17. Pumpkin Spice
#PumpkinSpice

@janeycanuck with your unlimited curiosity and habit of wandering places where you don‘t belong, you‘ve managed to get yourself trapped in a spooky house!

It‘s not all bad though, the library has a number of titles you‘ve been meaning to get around to. There‘s also a mini-fridge packed with your favorite snacks and beverages and a fully stocked bar. Hopefully help will come, eventually, but only after you‘ve run out of snacks! 👻 🎃 📚 🍷

Oh, ick! The things that greed will make us do. And desperation. One man‘s hell may well be another‘s perceived heaven. Be careful what you wish for and what you can‘t control. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Last week‘s #ThreeListThursday #TLT

?? Surprise visit to the Krems city library!

Since it‘s almost autumn again and I am looking for fall books, could you help me Emil? Need some reading material for the upcoming cozy months. ? Thanks in advance buddy❣️ #stadtbüchereikrems #instagram #elchemil #haveyouheardaboutthenewsthatanelkisroamingthroughaustria #lookingforwardtoalibraryvisit #austrianlibraries

Also, music.

I wanted to post this on #TuesdayTunes that @TieDyeDude hosts, but for some reason I got a bit shy about posting my Playlists. (In fact, I'm still not going to link it ?)

At the moment, I have an eclectic mix of songs on repeat. Top right is a song that found me on Insta. Amazing track.

The Flood by Aurora is another that I'm overplaying.

"Maybe there was never a daemon... maybe it was just me dreaming..."

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Poetry. Something I throw myself into when I'm in pain and struggling to cope.

This is a new collection from Bad Betty Press, an anthology of poetry on the subject of mental health.

May we continue to find solace in words when things chronically suck.

Sending hugs to anyone who needs one: 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

I think we all need a laugh, and this one hit me. Found on social media.

Yesterday, not very far from me, 3 officers were killed and 2 wounded while trying to serve a warrant. It even made national news. The details slowly leaking out are absolutely scary.

Such dark times. I‘ll be here with my cats and my house (not apartment) filled with books. And I‘ll manage! 😂 #NotBookRelated

It's less than 2 weeks until the start of #HauntedShelf

This is a resource post for everything you need to know before the challenge starts and what to expect when October comes

Everything will be in the comments

TODAY‘S PROMPT: CINNAMON

#WDNCW
We do not care that I pulled into my parking spot at work, then promptly locked my car from the driver‘s inside door-BIG OOPS -with my backpack,phone, & keys inside! Fortunately,a staff member was free to drive me home in hopes of convincing my husband that he could TRUST me with his car car key, even though I dropped his in the driveway a month ago & then ran right over it! 2 hours & $250 later I replaced it.He did give me his key. 🚗🔑

First #haikuhive in a while, inspired by a true story*

reverse carding, noun:
When the flu shot guy guesses
you might need high-dose.

*that happened to my spouse. Who is 50. For the record, I was there, too, and was not offered the high-dose vaccine. Which is a relief because I'm younger than my spouse.

I keep forgetting to post this. This #BookReport covers August and early September.

With the #192025 challenge drawing to a close, it‘s time to think about #192030 challenge—read one book originally published for each year from 1920 to 2030, starting January 1st and running through 2030.

The only rule is to select a book by original publication! You can make the challenge fit your needs in other way, including different authors, genres, ...

TODAY‘S PROMPT: PUMPKIN SPICE

Walking down a lonely road, @PuddleJumper spies a gorgeous old house set back from the road and you decide to take a closer look. The first thing you notice as you amble up the walk is that There‘s Something Wrong With The Cats. From time to time you catch a faint but horrible sound, like When Devils Sing. You begin to suspect A Darker Shade of Magic may be at work here, but you continue inside. Hmm… smells like someone is Brewing Up Bedlam.

I meant to post about this earlier but September is national recovery month! I've worked as an addiction therapist for 20 years and people do recover!!

Apologies! I received my #FFFS box last week & mailed mine out then as well.

My #FFFS package came! Can't wait to open!

Translation of the first picture: Society says "young men turn to the far right because of feminism" instead of "young women turn to feminism because of far right men" because the number one rule in patriarchy is always blame women for what men do wrong.

#wildwomen

I found this challenging- so much literature, poetry, speaks to me deeply. I chose Amanda Gorman for her live performances- 💕💕; Jane Kenyon because when I was introduced to her ages ago I fell in love; #RobertTree - our relationship to this tree is a family story that we add on to & celebrate every year when the magnolia tree blooms. This spring it will be 30 1/2 years old!

It‘s been a day…month…year! Today is Zeke‘s 14th Gotcha Anniversary but it was unexpectedly spent with the roofers deciding to do my roof today (I knew they were coming this week, but not TODAY) which meant a day of noise and hiding (cats hid, I hovered especially by Xander who cannot have too many scares due to his heart).

A bright spot was my #SundayBuddyRead envelope in my mailbox. I‘m looking forward to another year of good reading!! ❤️ Yay!!

TODAY‘S PROMPT: BIG MOON

@Laughterhp you've found yourself in a desolate cabin far from civilization. It's creepy, it feels like you are being watched and there are ominous sounds

Luckily you find a cosy library with several books you fancy reading. You may be #TrappedinaSpookyHouse but it gives you time to read

Wow!! 9 years!

Can't believe it's been so long since I joined this wonderful community. Such a good and safe place to be which is very rare on the internet these days. Here's to many more years and many many more books. Thank you all. 🎉🎊📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖

I'll be doing the first round of sorting for #HauntedShelf today

You'll be tagged by your team lead in the next few days. Be patient as everyone is in different time zones

You can still sign up here: https://forms.gle/wmcY27wyx6awp3EfA

If I've missed anyone off the tagging list, let me know! I'm very excited and hope everyone has a great time!

Been reading more than usual the past couple of weeks. #bookreport

@AllDebooks has created this new group called @TheLittensSociety and I think it‘s a great idea. I‘ve decided that I want to participate and it‘s postage free. I just wanted to share this for anyone who‘s interested.
