Holy bat stickers, Batman! Lol! I absolutely love this altered addition to this book, it fits perfectly with the theme of Dracula! 🦇 🧛🏻‍♂️ The cube of Poe/artwork inspired by his writing is beautiful and the perfect addition to the little Poe shrine I have going! And I got some sweat treats, hot coco, and nail art stickers?!?!! @sprainedbrain you spoiled me with your #alterednightmareswap package 🧡🖤🧡 thank you so much!!! @LibrarianRyan

LibrarianRyan Lovely!! 2y

sprainedbrain Oh I‘m so glad to see the Poe cube! It was wrapped so prettily by the Etsy artist I didn‘t want to peek. Happy Halloween 🎃 2y

I‘m going to have to post a whole bunch today to catch up my October reviews…😜

I listened to this book after I saw it on a certain swap partner‘s wish list. Bram Stoker (brooding, somewhat creepy) and Oscar Wilde (hilarious and gloriously foppish) don‘t really like each other that much, but keep getting thrown together to fight monsters. Werewolves and vampires, oh my! Such a fun ride, with lots of references to the real guys‘ books.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

HOTPock3tt I‘m going to end up doing the same thing Jenni 😂 posting like 10 book reviews to catch up! Lol 2y

sprainedbrain @HOTPock3tt we ROCK. 😂 2y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Whoo Hoo! Congratulations everyone! 4y

Jadams89 I had so much fun this last month!! I got more involved on Litsy again and even found that I don‘t hate horror movies as much as I thought. I have a whole list to start working through. I hope we do this again next year!!! Go #TeamStoker!! 4y

JacqMac Yay team!! This was so much fun! Thank you so much for all your hard work and encouragement. You were a great team leader @TheReadingMermaid 🎉🎉 4y

Kryd0s @TheReadingMermaid thanks so much for hosting. We had so much fun! 4y

xxjenadanxx Woohoo! I'm so pleased that we won! 4y

Caroline2 Wheyyyyy!!! Dead chuffed that we won! 🥳 👏 thank you so much for hosting, I read so many books. It was a really great challenge. 👍 4y

eri.reads This is great news; u were a fabulous host! Sorry for falling off near the end...a friend of my boys was murdered in front of his home the weekend b4 Halloween and it was extremely difficult. He was only 19 years old; funeral was yesterday. It wreaked havoc w/the joy I have for this holiday, but I'm glad so many of our teammates had such a great time playing this during the mth. I had a wonderful time up to that point. Thank u @TheReadingMermaid 4y

BeansPage @eri.reads OMG honey I just don't even know what to say to that. Is everyone else okay or are you okay is everyone mourning, dealing with it okay? 4y

eri.reads It def hit my boys/hubby the worst. My hubby also coached them all in AAU summer bball league from about age 10 as well so he was practically part of the fam...here at the house a lot. It's truly heartbreaking and it's been difficult to say the least. We're picking the pieces up, but it's hard when there are no answers yet as to who did this/why. For now we're trying to stay busy and I'm trying to get back to some sense of normalcy. It's tough. 💔 4y

BeansPage @eri.reads sweetie I am just so sorry. I don't know what else to say but I'm just so sorry. If you ever need to talk I'm here. ❤️🤗❤️ 4y

Melismatic Woot! Let‘s gooooooo 5y

coffeewithbooks We got this!!🎃🧡 5y

coffeewithbooks Will anyone like to do a buddy read ? 5y

JacqMac Woohoo!! 5y

BookwormAHN Fantastic 👻 5y

Caroline2 @thereadingunicorn I‘d love to do a the Halloween tree buddy read if you fancy it?? It‘s only a small book so it‘s not a big commitment.

The Halloween Tree

AsYouWish @thereadingunicorn or anyone else that wants, I would love to do a buddy read. I know I am reading Practical Magic and You for sure this month. I am going to take a picture of my TBR shelf either tonight or tomorrow and post it. If you see anything you would like to buddy read, just let me know. Or if you have any you want to read, I am open to other books. 5y

coffeewithbooks @Caroline2 what is it about ? 5y

coffeewithbooks @AsYouWish what is the book ‘ you ‘ about ? Can you tag it ? 5y

AsYouWish @thereadingunicorn

You

coffeewithbooks @AsYouWish ooo that sound really good 😊. Have you started it yet? I will see if my library has it 5y

AsYouWish @thereadingunicorn This is a reread for me, and it is super good! But I haven‘t started my reread yet. I can wait for you if you want. 5y

coffeewithbooks @AsYouWish yes please 😊. I will let you know when I get the book 5y

coffeewithbooks here my email for anyone who ever want to chat chandleylarge7@gmail.com ... I am also on Instagram there a link in my bio 😊 5y

coffeewithbooks @AsYouWish I requested it form my library but 4 people are head of me to get it 🤦‍♀️ 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Ok...how do you get 50+ points in 4 days? 😱 Did someone read 10 Halloween books in 4 days, because if so that‘s phenomenal! I‘m guessing you can post anything and tag the #Scarathlon even if it isn‘t a book read or for the photo contest, because I must be misunderstanding something in the rules. Even if I managed a Halloween book a day and posted for the photo challenge each day that‘s only 28 pts. Help, I think I‘m missing something.🙈 5y

BeansPage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa hey sweetie 👋😊 you have to remember that a participation post is simply any post using our hashtags. So you could be having a random Halloween question or a random Halloween conversation as long as you use our hashtags it counts for participation. This is how we are able to rack up so many points. 😉 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheReadingMermaid Gotcha! I better get on the ball then! Thanks!! (edited) 5y

BeansPage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 😘😘 5y

coffeewithbooks @AsYouWish I got ‘You‘ . When will you like to start reading it ? #teamstoker

You

(edited) 5y

AsYouWish @thereadingunicorn Anytime! 5y

coffeewithbooks @AsYouWish same here I will start tonight ! ❤️ 5y

AsYouWish @thereadingunicorn Sounds good!!! Can‘t wait to see what you think of it. 5y

BeansPage @UnidragonFrag @Readergrrl @Godpants @thereadingunicorn @xxjenadanxx welcome to the team!!! 5y

coffeewithbooks @TheReadingMermaid thank you for having me . Now have to make my bullet journal thread (: 5y

Readergrrl @TheReadingMermaid Thank you for adding me! I‘ve been finding myself jumping back into reading for pleasure after a winter-spring long slump. Monsters are my favorite!!! 5y

Godpants Alright! Let‘s do this! 5y

night_shift 🎉🦇👍 I already have a copy of Dracula I've been sitting on, intending to read, for years now. 2019 is the time! 5y

Godpants @TheReadingMermaid how does the Blood prompt work? Is it just a gory book or is it vampire specific. Thanks! 5y

BeansPage @Godpants blood can be anything from Gore to vampires. Blood is honestly anything with blood in it. But please do be careful not to mix blood with slashers because that would be for Team Slaughter 5y

BeansPage @Jesstifies hello again sweetheart 👋😊 yes you have our team pegged correctly. We are all about monsters and ghosts and things of the like. And a participation post is simply a post that you make that shows you are participating in your team. Ex: when you read a book in October that fits the theme, post it and tag #Scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid so I can tally up your points 😉 5y

Jesstifies @TheReadingMermaid yay ok thanks 👌🏻 5y

This has the humour of Wilde and the horror of Stoker in a tense gothic horror tale. The geek in me loved picking up the references to both characters real books from Dorian Gray to The Lair of the White Worm….it has vampires, werewolves and even mention of a dragon….what‘s not to love.
