Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating 🦃❤️🍷

Happy regular day to everyone else ❤️❤️❤️

My #WinterGames and #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo list. Sorry if it's hard to read.
I haven't gotten The Holiday Swap yet, but I will at some point for the buddy read.
17. Christmas with O. Henry.

@StayCurious @TheAromaofBooks

Edit: Just realized I'm missing #17 and have one book on there twice. I'll fill those gaps with library books or something. This real isn't my holiday so I'm a bit lacking on Holiday books.

My #NYWD list from @Bookzombie. Seems like it's a great list. The Thursday Murder Club and Tender is the Flesh have been on my radar for awhile. I bought Broken a month or so ago, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Same with the Fifth Season. My bookclub might be reading that sometime next year though, so I'm going to save it.

Thanks again @monalyisha for organizing all of this.

I finished my #BookSpin.
It was definitely a very dark book with a lot of really messed up parts. It was a good story with interesting twists and turns. I just didn't like how much the book jumped around and parts of it kind of dragged on.

I got a book of Halloween mad libs as a gift in my haunted hollow swap (tagged book). So who wants to do some madlibs? Someone fill in the blanks and I'll post the full story. I'll probably just edit this post with the results so I don't spam everyone's feed.

Edit: Filled in mad lib. A cold toe on her arm 😆

Good point.

Thank you @Tattooedteacher ❤️
Everything is great. The pen and pencils are super neat. I'm looking forward to reading Took. I love a ghost story.

@wanderinglynn #HauntedHollowSwap

I received the #HHS package. Thank you @Tattooedteacher. ❤️ Can't wait.

My #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo. If I skip BOTM next month I'll replace 20 with Heart Shaped Box.

I really liked it. This was my first book by Junji Ito. Definitely going to check out more of his stuff. So much weirdness and creepiness.

I read Frankenstein in college, so I vaguely remember it. From what I can remember Ito's version is similar to the novel, but there are a handful of small differences.

I finished my #BookSpin. It was ok. She offered some interesting theories and information. I like reading about some of her experiences. I also listened to her interview on Ghosted and watched an episode of her show today.

I got this book from Library Thing's Early Reviewers. I posted a review on the book's page.
https://www.librarything.com/work/26864556
I don't think the book I have tagged is the correct book. Most of the stories were enjoyable. I have a few favorites. None were all that scary, so if you like ghost stories without getting spooked you might like these.

Just realized podcasts count for the #Scarathlon. Listening to this one while I cook and do chores. It's one of my favorites and I highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of the paranormal. Roz interviews people about their paranormal experiences. It's funny and spooky.

Finished the rest of the comic book series. I realized I completely forgot how it ended. It still holds up as one of my favorites.

Rereading one of my favorite Lovecraftian comic books. I just finished comics 0-5 of Part 1: The Fugue.

I think this is one of the greatest comic book adaptation of the Cthulhu mythos. I love how Dreamland is shown and all of the absurdity that comes with it.

Mmmmmm...cosmic dread and unlimited bread sticks. Delicious 🤤

"Mail delivery for many Americans will slow starting on Friday, part of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's blueprint for overhauling the U.S. Postal Service in order to slash costs." ? Soooooooo over this. It's just going to keep getting worse. They are intentionally trying to ruin the post office. I don't understand how absolutely nothing can be done about it.

I found a readathon that's not listed. @StayCurious @Clwojick #scarathlon

I forgot to take a picture, but I sent out the #HHS package.

@katy4peas They said it will be there Friday.
@wanderinglynn

Well they have my vote.

My list for #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo

@TheAromaofBooks

Thank you so much @bthegood. I love it. The socks are adorable. I love the orange cat on the one pair because it matches my orange cat. I can't wait until I can read the book. I can already tell it going to keep me on the edge of my seat. ❤️🍁🍂🧡💛

Thank you @Avanders for hosting.
#FFFS

The readathons are being listed so I thought I'd post this again in case anyone missed it. You can use it for extra points in the #Scarathon2021 or just use it as an excuse to obtain eldritch knowledge. Just remember not to read from the book out loud. Bad things happened to the last guy who did that.

The #Necronomathon is a simple readathon for cosmic horror, weird fiction, and Lovecraftian type stuff. Tag me in the review if you feel like it.

I got this book from thriftbooks. I don't know if this is foxing or water damage or what it is. Does anyone know of there's a way to get rid of it? I really feel like the quality of thriftbooks has gone way down lately.

?Treat
?‍♀️Witches
?Jack o lantern
?Scary book
?Caramel Apple
?Frankenstein. Poor guy just wants friendship.
?Depends. If an "actual" haunted house I'm in. If it's the people dressed up jumping out at you then I choose costume party.
?Chocolate
?Skeleton
☕Hot chocolate
?Kitty. Bats are cute and all, but they're not fond of cuddles.

I got my #FFFS package! So excited.

@Avanders

A quiz from Book Riot. Pick a horror movie get a horror novel.
https://bookriot.com/pick-a-horror-movie-get-a-horror-novel-quiz/

I've never heard of this book or the author, but it does sound super interesting. I guess it's a retelling of Jane Eyre. I've never read that either. I know roughly what it's about.

I think this might be the first time I've finished a #BookSpin.

It was an easy read. The life of a modern lady becomes intertwined with the lives of an apothecary and a girl who lived 200 years ago. Through the process she kind of discovers what she wants in life. The end was kind of tied up in too neat of a bow for me though. Kind of cheesey like the end of an Adam Sandler movie.

@TheAromaofBooks

Here are my overambitious #Screamathon books. Trying to leave myself and my short attention span with plenty of options. I forgot to add the king in yellow.

@StayCurious I think this can double as my #ScarathonTBR. I've pretty much listed all the books I'd like to read next month. The only additional book would be one of the buddy reads, but I haven't decided which one I want to read. #TeamHendrix

@4thhouseontheleft

I thought I would post this now since the scarathlon and other readathons are being posted. I am going to host the #Necronomathon. It's a simple readathon. It's for cosmic horror, weird fiction, Lovecraftian type stuff, and so on. Tag me in the review if you feel like it.

So excited. It was so much fun last year.

@Clwojick @StayCurious

1. No. I can't remember the last time I carved a pumpkin.
2. Yes. Size medium maybe? My shoe size is 8.
3. I like dark blue the most. But I like dark earthy tones in general.
4. I don't wear too many accessories. A jacket I guess?
5. I don't think I have a favorite bookish accessory.
6. I like costumes that are puns of some sort.
7. Nay. I have hats but I rarely wear them.

#HHS @wanderinglynn

My #spookyaesthetic I like creepy more than scary and have a soft spot for "true" ghost stories.

#HauntedHollowSwap #HHS

I finished this series a few days ago and WTF. The first and third books weren't bad. The second book was pretty awful. The second book mentions a sentient weapon on the back, but there is not a sentient weapon anywhere in the series. Like, not even the mention of one. It's called the bounty hunter wars, but the focus isn't on that at all. It's about an overly complicated conspiracy that doesn't really go anywhere or make any sense.👇

I still haven't finished this month's #BookSpin, but I still have a few more days. No way I'm getting a #BookSpinBingo though. There's always September. Maybe this will be my focus month. I keep reading off list.

@TheAromaofBooks

So we can all at least pretend to have the beast's library for just a little while.

Found on bookriot's insta.

I haven't participated in #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo in a couple months. Hopefully I'm out of my reading slump.
@TheAromaofBooks

Since so many of us love the post office I thought I'd share this bad news. 😩 I'm over it. Why is that idiot still in charge? It's clearly more sabotage.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/postage-stamp-hike-mail-delivery-slowdown-usps/

Saw this on reddit. Made me laugh, but I do kinda wonder what hand gestures we would have to make to represent them. 🤔

Nagini seems like it could just be the same hand gesture used to make a goose shadow puppet. I don't what the other two would be.

I got it! @booksellerofyourdiscontent @Mynameisacolour

I can't wait to read it!

@Reynosa8701 I mailed your book earlier today. I emailed you the tracking number.
