Posted my Top 10 Most Anticipated Reads that are coming out in the first half of this year on my blog: https://readingstewardess.wordpress.com/2023/01/07/top-ten-tuesday-most-anticipa...

My best friend got me the greatest Christmas gift for both someone who took piano lessons for over a decade and for someone who loves music. I‘m absolutely enjoying this day by day calendar with a new classic song and composer each day. It‘s also nice that I can access the playlist for the text on Apple Music.

Another year in the books for the Goodreads reading challenge. Now on to 2023.

Finally finished putting together my January #Bookspin list.

Probably one of the most bizarre and disturbing dystopian books I‘ve read in a long time. The one thing I‘m left wondering is how and why the society came to create the memory police? #AuthorAMonth

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we learn to deceive.” The perfect quote for this book about a young Mexican girl who finds herself becoming involved with a trio of American tourists and the subsequent death of one and revelations of a myriad of secrets and lies. #AuthorAMonth

I first read this a few years ago when it came out, it was the first Silvia Moreno-Garcia book I read and I loved it. Listening to it on audio for a reread I still love this book and am glad to have reread it as I had forgotten so many of the ins and outs of the book. #AuthorAMonth

Ended up finishing my last read and audiobook for #scarathlon so here are my final points for #TeamMonsterMash. As always I had such a great time with this challenge and can‘t wait for next year.

Ok, so I finished my audiobook. I actually read this when it first came out but decided to revisit, this time in audiobook and it did not disappoint. The reread was just as good, suspenseful and frightening as the first time I read it. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #spookoween #31by31 #pointsathon #littenlisten +281 pts

This will probably be the last movie I watch for this years #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

I love this series so much and it‘s the perfect read for spooky season. #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #spookoween #bookspin #31by31 #pointsathon +181 pts

Current movie watch while handing out candy to trick or treaters #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

Ever since discovering the Something is Killing the Children comic series, I‘ve loved these characters and world, so I was beyond excited to discover this spin-off prequel. #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #31by31 #spookoween #pointsathon +441 pts

Another horror movie classic, Poltergeist. Watched it before bed last night. +6 pts #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash

Watched The Simpsons Tree House of Horror episodes 3-14 yesterday. +61 pts #Scarathlon #teamMonsterMash

Watched this childhood favorite last night with my boyfriend. +6 pts #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash

Read this for a YA book club I joined and man did it disappoint. Between the inaccuracies of climbing Longs Peak to the rather slow and drawn out narrative to the fact I figured everything out before the halfway point, this is a book I will be unhauling #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #31by31 #pointsathon #spookoween #booklyreadathon +256 pts (correction: 3376 pts)

An interesting read with a game of cat and mouse. I felt that the story was rushed at times and would‘ve liked more background about the characters. #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #LittenListen #31by31 #pointsathon #spookoween +206 pts

Thank you so much @BethM for my new books and the M&M‘s for the All Hallows Read Swap. I can‘t wait to dive into these two books.

Despite the plot line being the same throughout the series, I can‘t help but watch these movies whenever they‘re on. #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash+6 pts

My #HauntedHalloweenSwap is here! Only 2 more days til opening! Thank you Hallie!

It‘s a rainy/snowy day here and I have to work tonight, so watching Elvira Mistress of the Dark before I have to leave. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

I love Identity for the myriad of twists. This afternoon‘s movie for #scarathlon and #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

Not as many points as the previous week, but there‘s always week 4. #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash

The boyfriend and I went and saw this yesterday. What a creepy movie starring Sosie Bacon (Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick‘s daughter). Definitely creepy and I have so many thoughts now. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

Junji Ito has long been on my list of horror authors to check out. Shiver did not disappoint as each story brought its own unique horror to the overall collection and the title was spot on as each tale was shiver inducing. #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #31by31 #pointsathon #spookoween +211 pts

Lardon‘s first foray into fiction was neither wonderful nor terrible. I do agree that this story needed to be told as an audiobook vs written text as I don‘t think the anxiety and fear would‘ve come across as well in text. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #spookoween #bookspinbingo #littenlisten #31by31 #pointsathon +366 pts

One of my all time favorite horror movies. Watched this late the other night with the boyfriend. I keep meaning to read the novella that the movie is based on, maybe this year. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +11 pts

Watched this one the other night and the boyfriend joined me more than half way through to see Paris Hilton‘s demise. One of these days I need to watch the original. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

Stumbled on this today, a good horror comedy with an entertaining cast of characters. #scarathlon#TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

Here are my #scarathlon week 2 points for #TeamMonsterMash

The boyfriend and I went and saw this yesterday. While I loved the references to the original movie, I have mixed feelings about this film. #Scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

I loved these books as a kid and I‘m finally watching the movie. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +11 pts

On to The Simpsons Halloween Special 2 #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

Decided to watch the Simpson Halloween specials. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts

Almost forgot to post, I mailed my #AllHallowsReadSwap box out today! (And yes I‘m reusing my Amazon Rings of Power box to ship everything in).

I really enjoyed this ghost story from one of my favorite authors. The fear of being trapped, of seeing things and not knowing if the things were real or not moved this story right along. Definitely the perfect read for the season. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #spookoween #bookspinbingo #littenlisten #31by31

Boyfriend and I are now on to Zombiand: Double Tap +6 pts #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash

I devoured this Hades and Persephone retelling and cannot wait for the next book to come out. My full review is on my blog: https://readingstewardess.wordpress.com/2022/10/11/book-review-ivy-bone/

Listened to this on audio. Was a quick read, but even though it‘s a novella, I still found it to be rushed. #bookspinbingo #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash #31by31 #littenlisten #spookoween2022

Tonight‘s horror movie with the boyfriend. #scarathlon #TeamMonsterMash +6 pts
