Show Your Reading Journal | October 2024

October has a variety of birthdays (including mine) for us. But it also holds Spooktastic Reads and Halloween! I am certain that it will hold no surprise at all what my theme for October was in my reading journal considering that. I’ve had most of my last few months sketched out but it took me a while to finally give it some color. I painted most of it this round. Some with gouache, others with…

#SpooktasticReads Review | The Awesome by Eva Darrows

#SpooktasticReads Review | The Awesome by Eva Darrows

The Awesome by Eva Darrows

My Rating:

Seventeen-year-old Maggie Cunningham is tough, smart, and sassy. She’s also not like other girls her age, but then, who would be when the family business is monster hunting? Combat boots, ratty hooded sweatshirts, and hair worn short so nothing with claws can get a grip, Maggie’s concerns in life slant more toward survival than fashion or boys. Which presents…

Wyrd & Wonder #SpooktasticReads 2019 | TBR

(Shout out to Louise @ Foxes and Fairy Tales for reminding me about this!)

Back in May I took part in Wyrd & Wonder, hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, imyril @ There’s Always Room for One More and Jorie @ Jorie Loves a Story, and had so much fun! I can’t believe that was already so long ago. Wyrd & Wonder is back from the 19th-31st October for a celebration of spooky and dark fantasy, and I can’t…

All the Creepy in a Wonderful Bite-Size | #SpooktasticReads

We are counting down to Halloween and when I look at our photo challenge I see Creepy Bite-Size. Which of course means creepy novella. Sometimes that is just what we need. Life gets so busy, sometimes even more so around holidays like Halloween. So here are a few of my favorites. Dragons and Blades 1 & 2 by Aliette de Bodard Now the world this takes place in (from The Dominion of the Fallen…

#SpooktasticReads Review | The Diviners by Libba Bray

#SpooktasticReads Review | The Diviners by Libba Bray

The Diviners by Libba Bray

My Rating:

Evie O’Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City—and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult.

Evie worries…

Instagram Photo Challenge #SpooktasticReads Edition | Round-Up

It is Halloween today and that means it is the last day of Spooktastic Reads! We cry! We didn’t have as many participants this round (but thank you bkfrgr for being with us) as we did for Wyrd and Wonder but that is okay. We still had fun. I made photos for all prompts and not just when it was my time to post on the Wyrd and Wonder insta page and I thought it would be fun to share those. View…

5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 | #SpooktasticReads Edition

Recently I spotted the 5-4-3-2-1 tag on Tammy’s blog and it seemed like such a fun and quick tag to do. And as we are in the spooktastic reads time of the year I decide to answer the questions with some fun spooktastic books. I switched some of the order around though to fit me better. So if you want to see the orginal order, go see Tammy’s answers. Nobody seems to be sure who created this tag.…

Time to Get Your Ghost Up | #SpooktasticReads

Last Tuesday we had a Halloween freebie for top ten tuesday and on a weird miss I thought up a topic about books about ghosts. But then I remembered I wanted to do scooby movies for that freebie. And I was stuck with 12 books that came to mind. So why not just throw it at you on Halloween and have another post up for Spooktastic Reads? I have been on the lacking front when it comes to…

Trick or Treatin’ | Book Tag | #SpooktasticReads

Back at the start of October I saw this fun book tag over on The Corner of Laura. Since Halloween is Sunday it seemed like a good one to do this week. This book tag was created by The Bookish Porcupine. I’m also doing this for the annual mini event of Wyrd and Wonder: Spooktastic Reads Halloween and trick or treating are still not really things that are done in the Netherlands. We have sint…
