Nightmares! | 
#littensdressedinblood #anightmareonelmstreet
When I was working in a big box bookstore it felt like every day some celebrity came out with a children‘s book and most were pure crap. Ever since then I‘ve stayed away from celebrity authors but this one has piqued my interest.
Happy Halloween! My #AlteredNightmareSwap package is ready to ship! I had so much fun with this one...
@LibrarianRyan
So many cool Halloween swaps and happenings! I was super intrigued by the #AlteredNightmareSwap hosted by @LibrarianRyan so I'm going to give it a go! Crafty, spooky, and affordable all in one go! Head to Ryan's profile or click the tag for more info and sign up.
pickGreat book and I had to finish it as fast as possible and the nightmares are interesting.
pickI was gifted this book for a Blind-date-with a book swap.
Although I would have most likely not chosen this book myself (as it's middle grade), I'm glad my match chose it because it's quite good! It's a well written and paced adventure with underlying themes for adults. The storyline is unique. I might even read the second book.
Splurged for a cappuccino while finishing this #firstinaseries for #summerfunjr #bingo

pickDisclaimer: I am a big fan of Jason Segel. This book was so much fun. Middle grade horror with a comic twist that only he could pull off. The audiobook had me laughing out loud quite a bit because he reads the book in a million different voices and it is SO entertaining. I loved this! 5⭐️
Charlie moves with his brother and dad into a big purple mansion owned by his new stepmom and he‘s pretty sure she‘s a witch. His nightmares are getting worse...
pickThis was a really entertaining book about a boy, Charlie learning how to face his nightmares in a literal nightmare realm with goblins, killer clowns, Medusa, her son Meduso & the President of Nightmares (who is also his real principal). The feel of the story reminded me of the old Beetlejuice cartoon 🖤

pickLOVED this!!! Charlie is convinced his stepmom is a witch and thinks she's haunting his dreams. Nightmares are scary only until you face your fears, though, and Charlie gets a whole crew to help out! #BBRC #WrittenByAnActor @LibrarianRyan #middlegrade
pickMy kiddo picked this book for his book report. We read it together and I have to say it was a cute book. I liked the storyline and the ending was good! The kids went on a spooky adventure together with many fears to overcome. Well done!
pickThis was super adorable. Took the evil witch and wicked step mother but turned it on its head while also emphasizing fears only have power so long as we let them.
I'm very on the nose for October Halloween vibes.
Hey all,
Just a remainder that there is still time to sign up for the #NightmareSwap. This is a fun Halloween swap for all ages. Nightmares don't have to be horror or scary (my recurring nightmare is being a member of the Scooby Gang, and I love Scooby Doo).
This is a blind swap, and you will only be matched in county.

Signups open until the 14th, open Halloween

I listened to this for the #readharderchallenge task of reading a the first book in a YA or middle grades series. It wasn‘t my cup of tea.
Who would have thought that there would be a benefit to being sick! The fact that im up at 3am and it happens to be the #24in48 readathon weekend! 😷🤧 Id say its fate! lol Grabbed this little number at Goodwill! Happy reading everyone!!!
pickJust the right amount of spooky for its Middle Grade audience, with a lot of fun and funny thrown in. And a great adventure with an awesome group of friends. Top it all off with a touching look at what makes a family when yours is forced to change.

Ugh, It has been A DAY! 😣 #NoSurprises I'm turning to reading to clear my head while the little dudes play on the driveway. Is it bedtime yet?

My current library read, and my library card for #riotgrams
#LitsyLovesLibraries
Silly me, I forgot I had library books to read! Going to go with a quick read, looks like lots of October-ish fun.
For today's #monstermadness2017 the prompt is #Dracula. I hereby nominate the Principle of the school in Nightmares. Turns out he is also the president of the nightmare world. Dracula was proud, primal, and predatory, and so is the President.
pick4⭐️ What a great fun read! Charlie is convinced his stepmother is a witch biding her time until she can cook up his little brother and sell him bits and pieces in her herbatorium.The book is full of wonderful imaginary and fanciful illustrations that keep the setting of the book. This makes a nice book for any age, and would work well as a read-aloud as well. Now time to scare up book 2.

I got my first hit on my bingo card. Bout time! #litsybingo
I just proved to my guy that I can walk out of BN and buy nothing. Now time for dinner. And a chance to read.
How do you read half a book and loose 10 pounds at the same time. Cut off 20" of hair.
so-soThis middle grade took awhile for me to get into. The first half reminded me of HP5: The Year of Umbridge and Angst. But the second half was filled with interesting characters that gave Jason Segel a chance to show off an impressive range of voices. Though I kept feeling like he'd written and performed it as a grownup Nick from Freaks & Geeks 😂 #mommyreads #audiobook #middlegrade
Since I seem to be eating similar to another couple of littens tonight I thought I would show off my book too. Mr. Josh all sorts of chicken, noodles, and veggies. Shusi and dumplings for me.
1. This is my very sick nephew Jaxon at about 2 years, maybe a year and a half (he's 8 now). We are at moms house. It used to be, when ever my nephews were too sick to be in day care and it was going to more than a day illness, they would get to spend the week with grams, grump, and aunt RyRy since we all had vacay time.
2. I would recommend Starflight by Landers
3. 🌚🔥🌪
4. Nightmares
5. Tear a wall down in my dinning room.
#humpdaypost
This would be me. I would die from gin rummy accident. The other funny thing is I still currently own a purple house. Hummmm. I better beware.
I thinking Nightmares are some #wildestdreams. This is book 2. I need to get book1 out of Josh's car. It's part of my #litsyAtoZ challenge. #augustgrrrl
so-soI finished this on audio today and I completed my Goodreads challenge!! Woo!! It was pretty good. Jason Segel reads it and I enjoyed that aspect (although I hated how he did all the female voices). I think this is the first book in a series and while I enjoyed it- I have no desire to continue with the other ones.
First book in the Nightmares! series would be good for #CampfireReading ! #JubilantJuly
pickI decided to read something different and stumbled on this book co-written by Jason Segel. I'm a fan, but wasn't sure what to expect. This actually turned out to be a really fun story with some serious undertones. The lesson is immediately obvious, but when I was "middle grade" I would have loved this.
If you can, get the audiobook. Jason reads it, and you can tell he's having a blast doing the many voices --and even some sound effects.
pickThis book ignites the imaginative spark of a child's dream world, or nightmare world to be exact. The creatures are strange and intriguing. The main character and his group of friends and family are charming. It beautifully addresses dealing with loss and difficult changes as a child. Even as an adult reader I appreciated it's story. An excellent share from my friend, @AbbieCanRead . I look forward to the next in the series.
So I would not like to have an #awakening inside a shallow grave and would like to have a fast awakening if I'm having nightmares. #marchmadness.
My last book for #24in48! I didn't make the full 24 hours, but I read a lot and had fun. Thank you @24in48 for organizing this, and everyone else for being awesome! I'll end my readathon with Rina being way too interested in a book about nightmares 😹PS this is the only book she was interested in this entire readathon
pickA decent book. I read it to my 8-year old and we had fun with it. Not really a scary book. Sweet and funny with some adventure.
so-soMy son just read this book and said it was a great book about monsters and crazy nightmares. I'm going to have to check it out next!
pick4/5. I naively thought that I could read both this& another book at the same time, and I would be able to apply as much time to one as the other. HA! I couldn't put it down! It's theme is relatable and very honest- Segel and Miller with their Bluebonnet Nominee definitely deserve the award!
