A quick and fun read about a group of boys who get transported all over the world and throughout the centuries on Halloween Night. I loved the illustrations in this edition, especially this one that's perfect for #AutumnFoliage #OctoberPhotoADay.

I‘d never read any ray Bradbury before this October and now I‘m obsessed! I‘m so lucky these stories are on audible plus, they‘re completely magical and I see myself rereading a lot. I wish some of my friends would hurry up and have kids so I could be the fun aunt who buys gorgeous whimsical seasonal books for them 🎃

This was my 3rd time reading The Halloween Tree, This time, I listened to the audiobook, and greatly enjoyed the narration. 70 points for #Scarathlon #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall
A group of boys get quite the trick on Halloween, when they meet a man presumably the devil, who takes them on a journey to learn about the history of the day around the world. The trick? Their favorite friend Pipkin keeps dying or suffering ill fates as the boys keep trying to save him. The voices are perfection in this audiobook—especially the devil‘s. The descriptions are mesmerizing and history interesting. #scarathlon #batbrigade
Here‘s my review for a book I finished reading last night at 2 AM.
This book counts for the following prompts:
🎃Book that mentions Halloween - #scarathlon
🎃Kronos | Titan God of Time and King of Mount Othrys: A book featuring time travel - #greekmythologychallenge
#HHC
I just finished this book and I‘m going to get a lot of word search points for this one. I‘m counting this book as a book that mentions Halloween. If you‘re looking for a book that mentions Halloween, this one is perfect.

One last #scarathlon book for today…. This was a re-listen for me, but it had been a few years and I‘d forgotten pieces of it. This novella is kind of like A Christmas Carol but Halloweeny…. And folks, so many word search points! #spookyghostclub also, it‘s my #doublespin for this month!
Love this book 🎃

My #HauntedHollowSwap vibe this year is vintage & campy. I am grooving to movies I watched with my kids when they were little - Casper, Haunted Mansion, Hocus Pocus - but also some annual re-reads (Christie‘s Hallowe‘en Party) & re-listens (full-cast version of Bradbury‘s Halloween Tree). I am a huge fan of ghost stories and adore books by Sarah Rayne and Simone St. James. Bring on the witches, jack-o-lanterns, ghosts & goblins! @wanderinglynn
I was so struck by this image of the Halloween tree when I read this last month. #Pumpkin #NovemberNarrative @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I love the way Bradbury tells a story. His work is deceptively complex and I enjoyed this Spooky Season exploration of friendship, adventure, imagination, grief and death. I might not make it an annual tradition, but I would consider reading it again.
This was another one where I just couldn‘t concentrate on the audio, but adored it once I switched to the print version. Also Mugnani is such a talented artist, I‘m psyched this library version is illustrated by him. #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious #Spookoween2022 @TheSpineView #31by31 @Catsandbooks #PointsAThon @dieareader @GHABI4ROSES #OutstandingOctober @andrew65 #witchathon @mdm139
What a flight of phantasmagorical fancy this book is. Thoroughly enjoying it for my #bookspinbingo board @TheAromaofBooks 💀🥀

This is probably one of the creepiest covers I have in my collection. You‘ve got a little bit of everything; witch, monster, demon, pumpkins, mummy. It‘s one of my favorite Halloween stories! #skeleton #ominousoctober
Classic creepy tale for Halloween. A bunch of kids follow an old man who may or may not be death back through the centuries in search of their friend 🎃

3. I‘m the person in the other room reading and not watching at all. 😆🫣
4. It‘s not a true “Halloween song” but it has the feel of Halloween: Save My Soul by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - https://open.spotify.com/track/2euSu0KhXQg055y2FO45LG?si=K4j2Sg_ARs6t3QH8sLqTiA
5. Rocky Horror, Beetlejuice, Clue, Nightmare Before Christmas, & The Addams Family (so exited to watch Wednesday!)
Took me a bit to get into this one, probably due to some distraction yesterday while listening. Very imaginative story and interesting history about Halloween. Last book for #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick 26 pts
One final one for #Halloween. It‘s also my #doublespin and gives me my first and only #bookspinbingo for October.
Last year I treated myself to a print copy of the tagged after listening to it for the first time. This year my treat was this Dracula nutcracker because it‘s the perfect mashup of my 2 favourite things! 🎃🧛♀️🩰🖤❤️

I am not sure why I missed reading/listening to this Ray Bradbury classic Halloween book before but it was an enjoyable listen last night (narrated by Bronson Pinochet). Lightly spooky & a good review of Halloween traditions around the world. I think it will fill a square in a #LittenListen bingo & 26 points for my #TeamHendrix scorecard with it‘s Halloween title & focus.
Thank you thank you, Sharon! This book is totally up my Halloween alley, I'm so excited to read it! And I love the orange edges and added colours and spooky stickers throughout, can't wait to find them all as I read 😁
Thanks a million @DinoMom and thanks to our always awesome organizer @LibrarianRyan 🎉🎉🎉

I love Bradbury (Dandelion Wine is one of my favorite books EVAH), but had never read this one… I decided to listen because of how much another of my swap partners @PatriciaU loves it, and I‘m so glad I did!
A quick, spooky story starts with a haunted house, continues with a creepy character taking some trick-or-treaters through time to see the history & meaning of Halloween. All with Bradbury‘s amazing & touching storytelling.🖤
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Happy Halloween, and Blessed Samhain to all my fellow Witchy Littens!

Have a safe and fun Halloween! 🧡🎃🖤
This one was interesting. Usually I really like Bradbury's writing, but I felt like parts of this book weren't written the best. I did like the concept of the story though, and the history behind Halloween.
Pumpkins play a major role in this book, which makes it well suited for the #Haunted pumpkin prompt. I haven't read this book yet, but I've always loved the movie (I grew up on it)!
