It‘s opening day for #allhallowsreadswap!!!
In theory we should open our #ahrs24 📦 at midnight, but who am I kidding? That was never going to happen. WHO can wait?
Please post a pick of your scary books and treats.
Mine are spooktactular! 👻
I absolutely 😻 this #ahrs24 📦! You really went above and beyond @chasjjlee
Everything is more than perfect,
Did you make the book sleeve as well as the bookmark?!?! It is so pretty.
I need a new cover for my laptop for all these amazing stickers (I‘m a child and ❤️ stickers and magnets so much).
#allhallowsreadswap
Thank you @Larkken for this perfectly scary #allhallowsreadswap 🎁.
I am really looking forward to reading these two books. Thanks for adding in the sci-fi book; I‘m really getting into the genre more. The bookmarks are so cool.
😻😻😻😻😻
#ahrs24
Wow! @bookish_wookish you went above and beyond. I 😻 everything about my #hhs24 #hauntedhallowswap @bookish_wookish From the books to the book sleeve and bookmarks, to the candy and sticker, it is all stuff I love. And those socks! Tim Curry IS Pennywise. 🧑🍳 💋
100 🐈⬛ out of 10!
Thank you so much!
And thank you @wanderinglynn for hosting this great swap.
This was an action packed little serial horror novella; a quick read when I didn‘t have my book with me. Each of the six sections was around 20 - 40 pages.
At first I thought it might be part of the world of The Strain series but it wasn‘t.
It felt a little like a James Rollins novel with the action and pacing, which I enjoy.
Not perfectly written but fun.

Part of Amazon‘s Prime Reading, so free if you have Prime.
I am only 3 behind on my #bookspin and #doublespin reads for this year. That is really good for me.
@thearomaofbooks
My #bookspin options for November.
These may change depending on the I get in my #ahrs24 and #HHS24 swap packages. 😁
@thearomaofbooks
My latest #netgalley books. I really need to start reading more of the books I got from them. 😬
I ended up picking this book because I‘m feeling a bit Victorian Gothic today. #hauntedshelf #blackcatcrew
BTW this is a beautiful cover. Aside from the creepy 👁️.
I have a bit of a book hangover after So Thirsty and Clown in a Cornfield 3 before that.
I want to stay in the spooky season but I don‘t want slasher or black comedy right now.
Which of these two would you suggest?
Or go completely rogue and suggest a good spooky read.

Never be ashamed of what you like to read.

All wrapped (badly) and off to their new homes.

I may be a little obsessed with Halloween amigurumi right now.

My candy corn ghostie needed a fun witch‘s hat which she wears so jauntily. 🧙 👻

#bookhaul one today from a Spooky Book Fair in Falls Church, Virginia.
The cover alone of the tagged book made me buy it.
I could have bought at least 4 more but I tried to have some restraint.
Dan Steven‘s is reading Frankenstein to me as I crochet some witchy ghosties for a few swaps.
#hauntedshelf #blackcatcrew

Next up. I had fun with the first two.
This is a pick for me.
Barnes has become a must buy for me. I will wait impatiently for Cold Eternity next year.

Chocolate Walk eve shopping in Lititz Pa. Plus wine and gaming with my sister. New book from Aaron‘s Books. Knitting for later.

Another great month for the @AardvarkBookClub
I could have gotten at least 4 more but I need to show some
#aardvarkbookclub
What did you all get?
My streak is broken. I had not ordered from #Bookoutlet in over a year.
Some books for me, some for swaps. Okay, only two are for swaps, the rest are for me. 😊
Well, I'm 2 for 2.
This is ANOTHER book I had on my wish lists for Halloween swaps that I already own through #Netgalley. Sheesh!
I really need to get to work on those. 🤗
I love these posts! What can you think of?

My October's extra scary #bookspin list.
I have everything here from sort of cozy mysteries to creature features to haunted houses, to teen slashers. I'm excited for October reading.
Spooky season is here (and it will last until at least Spring).
@thearomaofbooks
You know you really need to get to reading your #netgalley books when you realize that a book you have on your wishlist (and on swap wishlists) is ACTUALLY IN YOUR LIBRARY. And for over a year.
Duh!
All of the #AllHallowsReadSwap matches have been sent out.
Remember to post when you send, receive, and then open your packages on the evening of October 30th. Tag me in the posts.
Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
We have a small group of 29 this year, US and Canada only.
#AHRS2024

At Kramers, the boozy bookstore in DC.
I‘m doing pretty well on this month‘s reading plan.
Three down, one in the works.
My #halloweenaesthetic is creepy but cozy.
A little steampunk, a little spooky, a little witchy. Tarot cards & tea leaves.
With lots of snacks and beverages (either warm & cozy or adult) for all the scary book reading and horror movie marathons.
And you HAVE to have a black cat. 🐈⬛
I like spooky and creepy.
Ghost stories are my all time favorite.
I like being scared, NOT grossed out.

So….who‘s in for an October read-a-long for So Thirsty? #sothirstyreadalong
Low pressure. We‘ll have almost all month to read the book. Throughout the month I may post something about the book but the last week of the month I‘ll post questions or prompts about the book. After that we can all post our final thoughts/takeaways/likes/dislikes.
I‘ve never hosted a read-a-long so help me out if I‘m wrong.
Anyone is welcome to join.

#AllHallowsReadSwap is back!
We are getting close to Halloween & scary book season (who am I kidding, it's always time for scary books).
It's a simple swap of 3 items-
1 BOOK From Your Recipient's Wish List/TBR
1 SCARY BOOK you recommend
Halloween Candy or other treat
Opening Night is October 30th so we can have a new scary book to read on Halloween. #AHRS
Sign Ups are open until Sept 23rd.

Ok. I will not change my mind on this one. I LOVED loved this book.
It is better than the one I read for book club, which I also loved, The Guest List. I‘ve read all of hers now and I think this is the best one and I need to talk about it. The twists keep coming at the end but they make sense to me. I figured a few of them out but I did gasp 3 times.
#TwoforTuesday
1. American Museum of Natural History in NYC
https://www.amnh.org/.
2. Relic by Preston and Child - Natural History Museum with a creature running amok. 😍
I will be hosting the #allhallowsreadswap again this year.
Opening day is October 30th so we all have something scary to read on Halloween. And some candy.
If I get my 💩 together, I‘ll have the sign up sheet done this week. Stay tuned. #AHRS
My original inspiration-

Spread the joy. And the terror.
And remember, candy is very important!
