Turns out I have exactly 300 books, haha. Unfortunately a little over 200 of them remain on my tbr. 😬 I think I‘m on a book buying ban, lol.
I have 163 books waiting for me and my boyfriend to build some shelves! Now onto my actual bookshelves, haha.
Scanning through my book collection today! Wanted to make sure my Goodreads wishlist was up to date for the holidays!
panThis book did not beat me. I fought through all 799 pages, godsdammit, and I hated every word. I hate this book.
My TBR is a lot leftover from the #scarathlon, but here‘s my #wintergames TBR! It‘s massive and I think I may get through like 6 books, but still! I like having options haha

I hate this book with every fiber of my being. I‘ve put 8 hours into it and I‘m STILL not done??? Why is it 800 pages long??
In lieu of a fireplace, we have a bookshelf in the main room that our stockings will be going on, and I just put up the garland! Stockings are drying right now (we needed new ones) and I‘ll post a pic when they‘re up!
I hate this book so much and I STILL have 530 pages left. I want to finish it, because I haven‘t DNFed a book this year, but this one might break me.
panWhen I say it was VERY hard for me to finish this book… This was absolutely a spite read, fueled by my hate fires that burned brighter after every page. Will I read the next one? Yes. Will I be pissed about it? Absolutely.
pickI‘m not exactly sure what I read but I enjoyed it the whole time!!
panNot a fan. So he had a bad home life and every adult around him failed him. So he was an outcast and an oddball and only had friends bc he was ableist and made fun of people. I‘m glad Backderf has sympathy for Dahmer, bc you‘ll be hard pressed to find any from me. This book was way too apologetic, and not towards the people whose lives were ruined bc of one man. No thanks, I‘d prefer not to sympathize with someone who brutally murdered others.
Calling all the witches! @Chrissyreadit and @sprainedbrain are hosting a yule/winter solstice/witchy swap for wintertime too! If you liked #basicwitchswap, sign up for this one too!
For a grand total of 2100.6 points earned over the whole month of October, and I believe that‘s a new record for me!

The boyfriend and I carved our first pumpkins together!! It‘s been almost 4 years together and we‘ve never managed to do it before lol, but that‘s what I get for dating someone whose favorite holiday is Christmas 🤪 Now to finish my book and roast some pumpkin seeds

Thank you so much @TheBookHippie !! I‘m so sorry the original package was lost in the mail, but I can‘t wait to dive into these books!! My boyfriend cackled at the sign bc he does most of the cooking in the house, but I‘m excited to put it up in our kitchen! Thank you thank you!!

It‘s intermission but oh my goodnesss!! I keep getting chills. I grew up with this movie and seeing it live is gonna make me cry I can feel it.
so-soI‘m not sure what I was expecting, but this book was really boring. I‘m not a fan of history books, so maybe that‘s why I nearly fell asleep reading it.
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix #spookoweenreadathon #screamathon #readlikehellathon #readwithus #wickedathon
pickI‘m not gonna lie, the ending was a little predictable, and there were a few times when a word was overused just because it‘s big and pretty (once again advocating for a thesaurus and that - gasp! - small words are okay). Overall, I liked the language, even with all the pop culture references, but it felt mostly natural. I still had a good time reading it though, which was refreshing.
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
A Basic Witch (pumpkin spice) adult shake and some reading after my classes (which just ended 😩). I have a headache from staring at a microscope all day, so I decided to treat myself to a restaurant I‘ve been eyeing all semester. So far so good!!
This one, like The Husband Stitch, was really hard to read. Tw for assault, the ending for me was really sad. A good end to the overall book though.

A writer goes to a retreat in the woods and is forced to face herself. As a lifelong Girl Scout, and having camped at places similar to the one described in the story, it was a neat visualization to add to the story. As a writer, too, yet another one I can put myself into.

pickI bought this book after a professor had us read “The Husband Stitch” for a Hauntings and Horrors literature class. I won‘t lie, it did get a little slow there in the middle, and all the stories made my head feel fuzzy, but I did enjoy all of them in some way or another. The Husband Stitch is, imho, the best of them, but a good read regardless.
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
Tw: eating disorder, but otherwise a very creepy tale. Not my favorite of them all so far, as it‘s quite tame in comparison, but interesting.
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix #spookoweenreadathon #screamathon #readwithus #wickedathon
This was a fun movie! They kept forgetting the blond guy in scenes tho lol, but I still wish they‘d made a sequel.
#scarathlon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
Is it bad that I finished this in the beginning of my first forensics class of the day? +270 points
#scarathlon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
Headed to you!! Should be there Monday or Tuesday. Thank you so much for organizing this swap!!
#allhallowsreadswap #ahrs
My package is in! @Hestapleton I can‘t wait to open it!!

This feels relevant, especially with the happenings in Texas, but it could also be applied to any female-presenting issue. Bodily rights, being transgender, or just living as a woman, this story rings more true the more I contemplate it.

I had to move inside because it was too cold! This one read a lot like the movie “Us” more than Law and Order SVU. I liked it, though.
#scarathlon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix #spookoweenreadathon #screamathon #wickedathon
I‘m not sure where this one was going? It‘s sad, but the ending is…ambiguous.
#scarathlon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix #spookoweenreadathon #screamathon #wickedathon
This one strikes WAYYY too close to home! An epidemic takes over the US, with a bisexual main character, and I can easily put myself in her shoes. Spooky.
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix #spookoweenreadathon #screamathon #wickedathon
We had to read this one for a horror class in college and boy howdy was it an interesting discussion day. My mom ended up also reading it from our shared iCloud drive and wants to borrow my book when I‘m done. I love the mix of children‘s scary stories and an adult experience.
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix #spookoweenreadathon #screamathon #wickedathon
Hi hi! All swaps are going out on Thursday! I have class from 10 until 7 tomorrow, so I will make sure the shippers get these to where they need to go before opening date!!

A wrap on week 2! Lots of movies and not so many books, but trying to read more this week!
#scarathlon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
I forgot about this one! And that about sums up the movie.
#scarathlon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
I watched this for the first time with my mom in high school, but since it‘s almost been a decade later, I feel…nostalgic? Idk, I was watching Nightmare on Elm Street 7 and just…really wanted to watch Lost Boys so I did. We love Californian vampires.
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
I found this movie incredibly boring and almost didn‘t finish it. Insidious did a much better job with the “child stuck in spirit world with a dark entity attached” bit. I was just expecting more from a “classic.”
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
I‘ve never actually watched all of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, but they‘re all on HBO, so I thought I‘d give it a go. Halloween and Scream are still my favorite slashers, so I went in with a bias and I still have 3 movies left. So far, my favorite was Freddy‘s Dead, and I didn‘t even watch it in 3D!
#scarathalon #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix
pickI went in with high expectations and most of them were met, except at the very end. It felt a little too “white savior” for me, but I did enjoy getting a peek into Maud‘s past. Ironically enough, I was talking to my boyfriend about homemade gingerbread houses the day I bought this book, so now we have a recipe!
