What a day! Think it's pretty much going to be balls-out straight until Xmas.

Finally getting a chance to get back to my book for a bit tonight....if I can keep my eyes open long enough. Trying to decide if this can be used as a #HolidayRead or not. Who's read it? What do you think?

My current holiday read. So far I find it intriguing. I can't wait to see how the story progresses. I haven't been this interested in a book in awhile. The only other books I've read by Hill is The Fireman and the Locke and Key series, and I loved both. I do see a bit of his father's influence in this. Something about it does have a Stephen King feel to it, but better. I've never really been a King fan. Hopefully this will be a great journey. ❄️🎄

I would go back to Norn Iron or Wales, but this Christmas I‘ll be in Italy! Well, it‘ll still be Christmas for them, that is.

1. I don't think so. But l'll ask for two movies about writers: The Man Who Inventeranno Christmas and Tolkien 😍

2. I adore gifting books... but l see that often they are not appreciated 😟

My December TBR is approved by Krampus!

Audio loan didn't come back until yesterday, which was perfect because I was able to finish this & have it count towards the #WinterGames! Glad I finally read it. Obscene, creepy, & will make you think of Christmas in a different light lol. Filled with kids & adults doing horrific things & showcases a frightening innocence that does not discern evil from fun. Kate Mulgrew's narration really brought this to life. #HolidayRead #TMSkellington 4⭐️s

Let‘s start this #wintergames fun! #teamfozziwig share this photo and answer the questions for 26 points! Be sure to wait until December 1 or it won‘t count! I‘ll be checking back tomorrow morning and adding some more challenges! Stay tuned!! @Clwojick @StayCurious

I‘m setting up the tree and reading through this book my kiddo got today at a craft sale. It‘s an indie press and the writer signed it for her! What a lovely lady. Looking forward to reading this!

This is where I ended for #24B4Monday. I tried to get a couple more hours in last night, but fell asleep after traveling home from in-laws lol. For my #BookReport, I almost finished the tagged. Now I just have to wait a few days for another audio loan. I started Midnight in the Garden for #MidnightParty #buddyread, and The Lost Hours for #LiteraryCrew. My #WeeklyForecast is finishing Midnight and NOS4A2, along with my #LMPBC picks!

I was hoping to have twice this time right now, but this is where I left off last night. Trying to finish my first Joe Hill before it auto returns tomorrow! It's creepy and obscene at times but I'm hooked. Timing didn't work for me, but this could be a good one for the #WinterGames considering the references to Christmasland. #24b4Monday #readathon

Thank you so much @Stacypatrice for my wonderful birthday gifts and for all your letters and kindness. XX

I had so much fun doing the #HalloweenMovieBingo that I decided to host a Christmas version. Please feel free to share and play along! And if you use a free space, be sure to let us know what you‘re watching! 😁🎄🎥

Halloween might be over but I‘m still feeling spooky! If #creepycristmas tickles your fancy too, head over to @teebe ‘s page for more info!!

Creepy, mysterious, and at times disturbing. Everything & more I could even begin to expect from Stephen King's son.

It will always be too soon! Probably one of the few character deaths I will NEVER get over!!

Well that is one way to describe being a librarian 🤔😂

Halloween (aka my favorite time of year) is almost here. Of course this means out come the Halloween socks and spooky books. I thought this would be the perfect time to finally pick this up although maybe I should've waited until Christmas 😜.

Will I finish before Halloween...we shall see?!

1) ♥
2) I do! I started a year ago & I now make it daily.
3) Hell no. #unpopularopinion
4) 10.5
5) Will do.

OMG this book was so intense and also really good. I enjoyed it so much more than the other Joe Hill book I read (Horns). The characters were great, though the story felt a little long at times.

1st - Mark me down for 11 more points #TeamStoker #Scarathlon
2nd - This is my entry for “about a vampire” & “number in title” #ScaryScavengerHunt
3rd - Freezer Book for #BBRC #GrowUp cause this book is a terror!

WAHAHAHAHA...

#ABookSetDuringAutumn 🍁

Looking for a book set during Autumn, I found this chapter from the copy of “Nos4A2” that the wonderful @Branwen gave me for Christmas! 😊 And even cooler, this chapter takes place in the town I currently live in!

Wait... a book about a vampire takes place in Haverhill and I live in Haverhill... should I be worried? 😳🧛‍♂️

Charlie Manx is a super creepy “creative” who lures children into his Rolls Royce Wraith to take them to Christmasland while he feeds on their souls and turns them into vampire like creatures.

Wow this book left me with chills and not looking forward to Christmas. I loved the whole idea, I'm usually not one for spooky books but this was great! Definitely something to pick up for your October spooky reads

Charlie Manx is insane! I never want to smell gingerbread again. This book is so good!
#scarathlon +3 for #TeamStoker (team theme/post)

I loved Nos4a2 and stayed up way too late finishing it. I'm looking forward to watching the TV series to see how it compares. This counts as "Starts with a disappearance" for #bookishbingo and "a book that's over 200 pages" for #ScaryScavengerHunt
#Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick

This will be me tomorrow. I'm almost done with Nos4a2 and it's hitting the climax so I have to stay up and see what happens. My poor husband has a sleeping mask on because I have the light on 🤣
#scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick

I feel the same way.
#Scarathlon #teamSlaughter @Clwojick

This book has so many funny quotes. I love it!
#scarathlon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick

I had to hurry & read this bc I had an entire season of the show taking up space on my TiVo. I‘m thankful the show was a catalyst to get me reading faster since the book was very scary & well-paced. The characters each had a good amount of background story & I also loved the supernatural elements.
At one point while reading this I was convinced there was a murderer in the house which is my bar for scary stories.
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
P.S. Book beats show.

I'm going to be doing a lot of driving today and I love listening to audiobooks when I'm in the car. I've been switching between the book and audiobook for this one. 😍

"The sky was the color of a migraine."

I don't know why but I love this line & haven't been able to get it out of my head for days.

I read this between Aug 22 & 27; and gave it 5 ⭐️ on Good Reads. The book starts a bit slowly but once it kicks in, I could not put it down. I read 400+ pages in a day. A workday. It‘s a creepy story but well written. Joe Hill is becoming a favourite author.
