Goodnight my scary kittens.

Finished Rolling in the Deep and started Into the Drowning Deep in audio for my drives to and from PA.
I've read both books already, but am really enjoying them now in audio. However, the narrator for each book pronounced the ship's name "Atargatis" differently. It's a bit annoying.

Another Chocolate Walk in the books! Here are my favorite purchases. Tea, a new mug, Wilbur Buds, and some cozies from Aaron's Books in Lititz.

And yes I did just buy a book that was just gifted to me. Sigh. I need a better way to keep track. Life is hard. 😄

A three hour car ride deserves some killer mermaids.#audiodriving

Working on my first knitting project ( a Halloween colored cowl) while watching Goosebumps 2.

Alan Cumming and Tim Curry can read me to sleep every night. #Scarathlon @TheReadingMermaid

Finally finished the shawl for my sister (my first one ever) while watching the really bad horror movie Tamara. I 🖤 bad horror movies.

After a few stuttered starts I'm on to this book next.

I apologise. This has never happened to me before. If you HAVE NOT received an #AllHallowsReadSwap match from me (and it is not in your spam/jumk), email me tonight and I'll reply to you with your match.

Still watching horror movies (just finished Scream 2 and now on to Scream 3) and crocheting. #hookersoflitsy

Working on my sister's shawl while watching version two (2002) of Carrie.

A perfect #LMPBC package from @Avanders
The books are great for October and #screamathon #Scarathlon #TeamStoker. @TheReadingMermaid
I may have already eaten the Pocky. I ♥♥♥ the tea tins. Thank you!

Listening to this one for #Scarathlon #screamathon. #TeamStoker
I think I have it figured out. Oh Merricat!
I 🖤 gothic tales.
@TheReadingMermaid

I so hate ants. Nasty little creatures.

#ScaryScavengerHunt
1 pt - scares me
1pt - over 200 pages

@TheReadingMermaid

So...in my loopiness last night I sent some wrong info out. All the matches are correct, but, if I called you a Trick or Treater and are really an Evil Fairy (this sounds so funny when said out loud) go with what you signed up for. It was the evilness of copy and paste at 1 am.

Anyone not get a match?

Well. I'm a big scaredy cat.

1 pt.

Hello idiot hookers!
I have begun my annual screening of the first season of Scream Queens for the Halloween season. If you have never watched it, give it a try.
#Screamathon #Scarathlon #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid
2 pts?

I received my #BasicWitchSwap 📦! I'm so excited. Now the wait begins...

@sprainedbrain @Meaw_catlady

Well, I'm a little loopy right now, but I FINALLY finished all the matches.
Please let me know if you did not get an email match from me tonight.
Now let's get to scaring each other silly!!!
#AllHallowsReadSwap

Thank you so much @mdm139 for the great #screamathonswap package. I 🖤🖤🖤 everything. I really wanted these 📚. I just finished Court of Shadows so the tagged book is perfect. I *may* have squealed a little when I saw the book sleeve and this may be my new favorite bookmark. It is definitely Harpy's and Hades' favorite. The #manpanion is is super excited for the soup mixes as well. We love soup and chili when the weather gets chilly. Thank you!!!

Laundry is just made for reading and #audioknitting.
And couch napping; that's a pillow ready next to me.
I'm attempting my very first knitting project. I've only had to unravel it 5 times. 🤦 Does anyone have a pattern for a BEGINNER cowl using bulky 5 yarn?

How about one of these three for #TeamCthulhu? I'm leaning towards Wychwood because I ♥♥♥ Mann's Newberry & Hobbes series.
The Creature is only 198 pages while The String Diaries is over 400. I'm excited about reading any of these.
@TheReadingMermaid @jillannjohn @BookwormAHN

Here is my stack to choose from for the #scarathlon #teamstoker.
It may change once I open my #screamathonswap 📦.

It also includes a trashy Holloween themed romance I bought years ago and never read. Maybe this year...

@TheReadingMermaid @Clwojick @mdm139

♥♥♥♥ my #CozySwap 📦! Thank you so much @hermyknee!
I can't wait to get to the books and tea. I've already worn the wrap.
Thank you @avanders for such a fun swap.

One of our reporters needed to buy the book for a story (see link). Our HR manager told him I read A LOT so he left it in front of my office door this morning. Great Monday surprise!

BTW my boss said he did not know what was going on in my office it is so messy. I told him it is the creative services department. If it was neat & tidy he should be worried.

#7Days7Covers #CoverCrush

Post a pic of a book cover you love for 7 days. No explanations. Tag someone to play along each day.
@Callemarie

All these for $8 at the #librarybooksale.
Now I have to wait until November for the next one.😢
@avanders those two turned books might just be headed to NM in the (hopefully) near future.

I am the worst lately.
I did receive both my #screamathonswap and this month's #SFMPC packages. I just did not post them
@mdm139
@GrilledCheeseSamurai
I loved my package!♥♥♥ I've been wanting those 📚 for a while now. Everything was great (as usual; thank you so much!!!
@Avanders

My #coffeebeanbookclub book has made it home after a year away, and it brought some of my favorite coffee. ☕ 😄
@Mommamanzi

Some very belated packages went out today, plus a surprise one.
More will go out Monday.
@Avanders @TheReadingMermaid @TK421

@Avanders

I did a reshuffling of book picks.
Vote on your choice (if any) for our next #TeamCthulhu pick.
I ♥♥♥ Relic and have not read any of the others.
Neiderman is one twisty puppy. He is also the one who writes the V.C. Andrews books since her death (unconfirmed). I read a few of his other books a longgggg time ago and remember them being a little disturbing (but I was probably too young to read them).
 @TheReadingMermaid. @jillannjohn @BookwormAHN

LOVE these socks that a friend of mine got me. Harpy gave her approval once she saw the random cat on the other side. #catsoflitsy

Do any of these spark interest #TeamCthulhu? @TheReadingMermaid. @jillannjohn @BookwormAHN

I'm so sorry to my match. I never posted that I received my #cozyswap package. I'm excited for opening day! @Avanders

While out shopping for some #swaps at a local coffee and gift store I came across a new Hammond's flavor to try. It has all things I love - cola, milk chocolate AND pop rocks. Later, on if it lives up to expectations.
And, FINALLY, this book is getting me over the #bookhangover I was stuck in.

Maybe my third pick is the charm. I just can't decide what to read next. I'm having a bit of a #bookhangover. Not even a palate cleansing cozy could knock me out of it.
Or, I could just go back to some #audiocrocheting.
#hookersoflitsy

Look at the fantastic bookmarks a friend got for me at Hobby Lobby.

I'm making a shawl for my sister; it's my first attempt. I've ripped it out twice so far.
#hookersoflitsy

So excited for my #bookoutlethaul!
I've been wanting this George Mann for a while. I can't believe that had it.
Plus one for my #screamathonswap match.

I'm trying to learn to knit and took my first class tonight. Now I'm practising in bed. #insomnia
#audioknitting

The cozie came to work with me.
He likes watermelons.
@Avanders
🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

Thank you @Avanders for the awesome #LMPBC package! So much goodness. Of course, my favorite is the shark cozie, but the pencils are a close second. I've wanted the tagged book for a while now. Thank you!
I am very much a slacker and I have not shipped out yours yet @TK421 I will send it out priority for you.
@Bklover @BethM

#Augustwrapup
I read some good books this month as well as the short story that is the basis for the upcoming movie Antlers by Guillermo del Toro. I also bailed on 3 that were not doing it for me.
The tagged book was my favorite this month.⭐⭐⭐1/2

I wish I lived/worked there. Sigh.

My neighbors are talking (maybe drunk crying) really loudly underneath my window and I keep getting dive bombed by a moth that got into the house that Hades can't seem to catch him. Ugh.
Insomnia, hello my old friend.
I guess I'll start a cozy.

@Meaw_catlady I thought you'd like my Funko Pop.

#BFCr3 weekly check in (a day late again)
I really struggled this week and was feeling very discouraged.
I have had a tooth ache and had an allergic reaction to something that had me down and out for a couple days.
4/7 workouts - I worked out only yesterday and today (2 each day) and walked in A. C. on Monday.
Vitamins most days, but with very bad nutrition
Not much reading; mostly in a Benadryl stupor.

#Bookfitnesschallenge #bfc

What's good background for cleaning and reading? The Meg of course.

Beautiful day to swing and read.
