🎶 Gettin' cozy with it. Na na na na nana na. Na na na na nana 🎶
Was that super lame? Am I banned from litsy now? 😅
Aidan Connolly is making me an offer I can't refuse. #firstlinefridays
Looking forward to getting swept up in another supernatural Kelley Armstrong series!
After work pick me up 😌
It's the little things, isn't it?
Woke up un-ready to face the day. Big changes at work have got me really down lately but I'm hoping a couple chapters of The Midnight Library might help me remember that I'm in charge of my life, even if it doesn't feel that way right now. #bibliotherapy
All cozy in my new bed sheets and comforter with a book I'm so digging. I foresee a very late night... 🌙
Nineteen years before she decided to die, Nora Seed sat in the warmth of the small library at Hazeldene School in the town of Bedford. #firstlinefridays
I haven't quite let go on Spooktober yet, but I've taken it down a notch to a brisk autumn breeze 🍂😏
Thx @kimmypete1 for the tag! #two4tuesday @TheSpineView
1. I set a very conservative Goodreads goal of 52 books every year. I usually double it. This year, I'm only at 77 so far 😕 I've definitely bailed on the 30 missing books. Sigh.
2. Nothing in particular, but I'm looking forward to checking out Kelley Armstrong's Cursed Luck next
Finally day's end. I've got a great book and a snuggly kitty. What else do I need? Nothing.😌
Oh, what I wouldn't give to be reading or audio-crocheting right now instead of working 😒 The struggle is real.
Lauren glanced down at her feet as she pedaled her bike toward the woods. #firstlinefridays
Not the most exciting first line, but I'm about 150 pages in and loving it. I'd been meaning to check out this author for years, and I'm so glad I finally did!
Lol! I often think about the strangeness of this phrase, "losing one's virginity." I love seeing my own thoughts reflected back at me in a book.
I almost didn't pick this one up because of the daunting amount of exposition in the first book. But I still wanted to know what would happen next. So I grabbed book 2 on audio through Libby and that is really working for me! I'm even enjoying the heavy dose of exposition, now that it's being narrated to me lol Such an interesting world Novik has woven.
She straightened the emergency supplies she‘d picked up at the store, adding them to the storm kit—four gallons of distilled water, about a dozen flashlights, batteries in all shapes and sizes, candles, matches, canned goods, one battery-powered NOAA Weather Radio, and of course, the bottle of vodka she stashed under the sink behind the floor cleaner.
#firstlinefridays ouf, that's a mouthful!
Happy Halloween, Littens! 🎃 🕷🕸🩸🖤
Anyone else gobbling up leftover Spooky Halloweekend treats for breakfast 😅
1. Cackle (ebook) 🪄 and Heartless (Audio) 🖤
2. Halloween plans include having a few friends over for spooky treats 🎃🧁 board games 🎲🃏and a scary movie 😱📽
3. Today I am grateful for audiobooks (I have a lot of housework to get through 😅)
@Augustdana wanna join in? 😊 #wondrouswednesday @Eggs
This one sounds interesting, but I'm not sure I'll have time to get it in by Halloween. Maybe next year 🎃
This morning's read. I loved The Return, so I'm all in on this one. So far, so good!
LOVING THIS new non-fiction. Funny, informative, and just a really good time.
Pairs well with a seasonal cocktail or pumpkin porter 🍻🎃
Thx for the tag @EadieB 🎃 #wondrouswednesday @Eggs
1. I do not, but I do keep a reading spreadsheet 📚
2. Not particularly! I've gotten in quite a few horror graphic novels though 🩸
3. Today, I am grateful for autumn sunshine 🍂☀️
Getting in my holiday reads with the Batman halloween specials. Working my way through Haunted Knight first, and will be following it up with The Long Halloween 🎃 🦇 The art is just fantastic!
“YEAH, SEND HER on back. She has an appointment.”
Not a super exciting opener for #firstlinefridays , but I'm still looking forward to digging into this haunted house story. I loved this author's YA haunted house book, The Agony House, so I have high hopes for her Adult take on the genre.
Fun coincidence... I just happened to start this book today, on the 15th of October, and right here on the second page, she says she wants the house demolished by October 15th. Feels serendipitous, and since it's a haunted house book, even a little spooky 🎃👻
pickI see this one gets some hate, but for my money, it was great. It was a quick read, but still managed to tap into some pretty real fears many of us have about being in the woods and off the grid, and show some character growth. Sure, the girls could be petty with one another, but who hasn't been there in their teens? PICK.
Wow. I was sitting on my stoop reading for so long, and only as I turned to go inside did I spot this hiding in the corner! My Owlcrate has arrived! 🦉

NEENA CUT THE engine, and the speakers went silent. #firstlinefridays
Just watched There's Someone Inside Your House last night and realized this morning that it was based on a book. I'm always on the hunt for women writing horror, so I thought I'd check out one of the author's other books for Spooktober 🎃🕸
Audiobooking in front of the fire... until I fell asleep 😅 oops! Now I have to back up and figure out where I lost consciousness lol
“I see …” said the vampire thoughtfully, and slowly he walked across the room towards the window.
#firstlinefridays
One last cottage long weekend. Bringing in the autumn season with this gothic classic. I haven't read it in about 20 years!
I'm really not supposed to be doing this, but a girl's got to get paid, so here we go. #firstlinefridays
I started this one last month but couldn't get into it on my kindle. I could tell the narrator had a distinct voice and I was having trouble hearing it in my head. I decided to put a hold on the audiobook instead. It just came in & I'm blown away by how much better this experience is for me! 🎧📖🎉
Happy Harvest Moon 🌑
My evening is set.
These bite-sized historical accounts of accused witches make for a great seasonal read... and a perfect coffee table book for Halloween!
Well that's terrifying. And to think, I was just gonna get in a quick chapter before bed 😅
DUSK AT THE END OF winter, and two men crossed the dooryard of a palace scarred by fire. #firstlinefridays
Being that in middle school I made regular trips to the thrift shop near my apt to look for VC Andrews and Fear St books, there's a good chance the remains of my collection are just one big #ThriftStoreFind ! I put these out specifically for Halloween, because spooky nostalgia 🎃

Getting crafty as we near Spooktober. Bought myself some stencils and made a spooky sign to place on my bookshelf beside my Spooky Bookstore 🖤🍂🕸🖤🕸🍂🖤
#FallTreasures #FaceOnCover @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
A gripping YA thriller from prolific author, Kelley Armstrong. It's been a while, but I remember getting really into it.
Book 2 of this sci-fi trilogy (tagged) was published the year I was born, 1988

Crochet & Jane Eyre. It's certainly shaping up to be a cozy autumn. #audiocrochet 🎧📖🧶
As usual, I love Jane Eyre, and want so much more for her than freaking Rochester 😒 lol And Justice for Bertha while I'm at it! Sigh. Such is 1847 though.
