Allegiant | Veronica Roth

A flashlight?? Or possibly a flare? Neither is very exciting. Lol #halloweencostumes #letthebookdecide

JoeStalksBeck Fire is very exciting lol! 7y

the-flashley @JoeStalksBeck hmm maybe I'll have to come up with a way to incorporate real fire into my costume. That would definitely be exciting. Lol 🤔😏 7y

squirrelbrain So, I was sorting through a box of old books when I saw this post. The book at the top of the pile was Ionesco's Rhinocéros, from French A level days many moons ago! Guess what I'm going as! #letthebookdecide #halloweencostume @JoeStalksBeck 7y

Labyrinth | Kate Mosse

Well, either I'm going as a French forest with tall trees, wild boar and lynx, or I'll be a French quarry worker with the usual pale skin. That last bit doesn't make sense, even in the early 13th century working outside would get you a tan; probably constant tan/leathery skin.

Hmm? Will go with the forest then. 😀

Kaylamburson I'd be going as Dustin Hoffman from an "imaginative car commercial." ???.

Lindy @JoeStalksBeck @julesG A forest sounds like fun. It would be easiest if you collaborate with a bunch of friends. My costume: jeans, white hooded top, navy body-warmer, canvas shoes from

Reservoir 13

alisiakae I could be a dragon...or a jam jar. 😂😂 7y

JoeStalksBeck @4thhouseontheleft lmao! Both sound magical! 7y

JoeStalksBeck @lindy that's just like my husbands costume! Lmao! 7y

julesG @4thhouseontheleft That's both funny! Would love to see the jam jar costume. @Kaylamburson 😂😂😂 @Lindy how ordinary 😝 7y

Lindy @julesG I know! So ordinary, except I still have to find out what a body-warmer is. Also, by that page in the novel, the missing girl would have outgrown the clothes she was wearing when she disappeared, so that would be an interesting costume challenge. 7y

julesG @Lindy I think it means a padded waistcoat/vest. 7y

Lindy @julesG Yes, you are correct. I had a conversation earlier with my neighbour who grew up in Yorkshire, and that's what she said. 7y

Kaylamburson A jam jar!! 😂😂😂😂 @4thhouseontheleft 7y

the.bookish.valkyrie Lol, looks like my choices are werewolf or some sort of monstrous fairy! I'm okay with this!
