Can you believe October is over?! I actually can, as time never seems to fly by for me, even when I’m busy. I had a lot going on this month, but I still managed to get a good bit of reading in. You’ll noticed I was pretty focused on my spooky theme! In fact, I’m still reading a few Halloween-related things, so that will carry into November!

“I watched my dad think about this. He looked like he was going to suggest that we have something for breakfast that you do not need milk for, like sausages, but then he looked like he remembered that, without milk, he couldn’t have his tea. He had his ‘no tea’ face.

‘You poor children,’ he said. ‘I will walk down to the shop on the corner. I will get milk.'”

And so, my absolute devotion to anything created by Neil Gaiman continues. This was such a hilarious, endearing read. If you have children, this little novel will result in fits of shared laughter. It’s so inventive and fantastic! Plus, the illustrations by Skottie Young are awesome! read more

It’s October, and that means—HALLOWEEN. As a bookworm, I love to theme my reading around holidays! So, I thought I’d share some spooky reads with you all! I haven’t yet read all of these, but I can tell you that Slasher Girls & Monster Boys is terrifying; I was surprised by how much I loved One of Us is Lying; There’s Someone Inside Your House messes with your head enough that I can only read it during daylight hours; and Hallowe’en Party is proving just as mysterious and entertaining as you’d expect a novel by Christie to be.
