halloween book tag | freak week day 8

hello everyone! today i am going to be doing a the Halloween book tag! i believe this is my second time doing this blog post. so, i’m excited to do this tag again. and honestly when is a better time do to this then on Halloween. but, happy Halloween and last day of freak week.

FAVORITE SCARY (MUST READ) FOR HALLOWEEN

stalking jack the ripper by Kerri Maniscalo. honestly, i think that this is one of the best ‘horror’ books. and this whole book talks a lot about the whole serial killer, so what honestly gives you more of a spooky feel then talk about serial killers.

SCARIEST BOOK COVER

twilight by Stephanie Perkins. i’m not talking about the good old apple covers, since those are honestly kind of cool. but, these original uk covers. and if you are on twitter, you probably know what i’m talking about. so, yeah that is probably one of the most scary covers.

IF YOU COULD GO TRICK OR TREATING WITH ANY AUTHOR, WHO WOULD YOU PICK?

i would probably pick Holly Jackson. i mean, her books are so interesting, and i just want to know, how the hell did she come up with all of this dealt and i think that it would be so freaking cool. and i just want to know how the hell she got her ideas and figured out all the plot twists and the serial killers.

IF YOU COULD DRESS UP AS ANY BOOKISH CHARACTER FOR HALLOWEEN, WHO WOULD YOU BE?

Jude from the Cruel Prince by Holly Black. honestly, it think that this outfit and hair and makeup is honestly so extreme, that i could never do it by myself. so, honestly i would probably just do her. and then i would get to wear this big ass dress, so that might be pretty cool.

IF YOU COULD FIND ANYTHING (FROM A BOOK) IN YOUR TRICK OR TREAT STASH, WHAT WOULD YOU HOPE TO FIND?

a sword from the kingdom keepers by Ridley Pearson. for one, who wouldn’t like a sword? granted, this is kind of big, so i’m not really sure how well that would fit in a bag, but maybe we can still figure it out. but, i think that a sword would just be so cool to put on your wall or whatever.

IN WHAT FICTIONAL WORLD WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TRICK OR TREATING?

Little Kilton in a good girls guide to murder. if you read the books, you probably are thinking, what the hell are you thinking, it’s a town with a killers. but, the easiest way to say it, i just want to trick or treat there, so i can maybe meet Ravi.

WHAT BOOK VILLAIN WOULD YOU NOT LIKE TO MEET ALONE IN A DARK ALLEY ON HALLOWEEN?

Aro from twilight. this is kind of a simple answer, but i honestly think that if i saw him, i would run the other direction. since, he would probably just kill me ASAP. so, honestly i would not like to met him in a alley, or really anywhere.

WOULD YOU RATHER DRESS UP AS A VAMPIRE, ZOMBIE, WEREWOLF, OR SHADOWHUNTER?

i would probably do a vampire. i have done a vampire once, but where i live it is super cold, so i turned it into this hybrid of vampire/werewolf. so, basically if Reneseme Cullen and Jacob Black have a baby when she’s a lot older. but, it still was kind of weird.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN CANDY?

i honestly kind of got a lot of them. but my three favorites are York Peppermint Pattie, kit kat, and 3 musketeers.

anyway, that is all for today! i hope you enjoyed this blog post! and happy halloween and happy last day of freak week! it honestly is another amazing freak week, and i’m honestly so excited for this next year, cause i already have some ideas. but, i’ll see you guys on November 3rd for my October book haul.

last minute bookish Halloween costume| freak week day 7

hello everyone! today i am going to be talking about some last minute Halloween costumes. this is kind of a weird idea, and some of the ideas are so stupid, but you know, they are at least a little bit funny. so, i hope you enjoy them, and maybe get a little bit of a laugh.

the first character is Audrey Rose Wadsworth. for thsi costume you would need a black t shirt or hoddie, or you can even use one of the colors she wears on the book covers. but, then you would also need some fake roses, cut the stem off of them, and then you can pin it to your shirt!

that is honestly kind of a dumb idea, but it works in some weird way. and i feel like since everyone loves this characters, so if you don’t want to spent a load of money of a big dress, or even make a big one. so, i mean i think this works in some way, but who knows.

so the next character is Percy Jackson. this is kind of a basic one, and i feel like half of the world as done one of these costumes. but, all you would need is a orange t shirt, and you can find the percy jackson logo online somewhere. you can either iron it on, or if your feeling very confident, you can draw it on. or you can just cave an order on online, and hope it gets here on time. and then you can just use jeans or sweats. then if you want to do Annabeth, just put on a baseball cap and then some type of necklace.

again, this is kind of a basic costume idea, but i mean everyone loves these characters. so, these could work in someway if you want to be one of these characters. and i mean it’s so simple, and i even did this a couple years ago. i believe like 4 years ago, and it was so freaking simple.

the next idea is Wolf from Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. for this one you’ll need grey sweatpants, a big t shirt, military boots, fake werewolf teeth, and then a sharpie or eyeliner. you’ll need to use the sharpie or eyeliner and write “LSOP962.” and that needs to be on your left arm.

there kind of is a downside with this, since a lot of people might think you are just a super lazy werewolf, instead of a book character. but, this still is kind of cool. since so many people love this series, so i guess someone should recognize you. and especially if you post this on your bookstagram or something, people are probably going to love it.

Celaena Sardothein from Throne of Glass. for this one you’ll need black pants, black shirt, black boots, and then some sort of knifes or daggers. i would probably not bring the knifes if you are going out (which you shouldn’t because of covid) and just use the knifes for pictures so you don’t accidently stab somebody.

this is honestly kind of a badass costume. and since this since so many people love this series somebody is bound to get it. but, this costume will pack some sort of punch on bookstagram, since everyone loves that series so much, and everyone will probably die when they see it.

the next costume idea is the kingdom keepers. this is a sure basic idea, and it’s super easy. there’s three different ways that you can do this costume, and their super easy to do, no matter which one you choose.

  1. a black t shirt, a black pair of jeans, gym shoes or boots, a sword/knife.
  2. a Disney t shirt/hoodie, sweatpants, gym shoes
  3. pajamas and barefoot/slippers

so, this is a super easy costume idea, and i’ve been them a couple times, probably an embarrassing amount of times. and honestly this is so simply and honestly pretty comfortable in my mind. this has probably been one of my favorite costumes, since it is just so comfortable.

pip and ravi from a good girls guide to murder. this honestly works better as a couple costume, but it still works of them. for pip you are going to need to wear some sort of t shirt (bonus points if its about math, school, or something about being a nerd,) jeans, black converse, and a zip up or hoodie. then for Ravi you are going to be needing a hoodie, jeans, and then some sort of boots. you can also use a flannel for Ravi.

this is kind of a basic idea, and most people probably won’t understand it, but it still would be so cute. and i mean i feel like everyone and their mother has read this book, so it works to some degree. and if you really want to do a group costume, you can always bring in Andie Bell and Sal, d even the rest of Pip friends.

Sadie from Sadie. for this book you will need to get an old t shirt (preferably white,) old jeans, sneakers, and then a red jacket. this is honestly so simple, and it honestly could work so good.

and honestly if you do it well enough, a lot of people will understand it, since it is on the cover. so, this honestly could work in so many different ways. and if you want to do it really good, you can also pair it with the next idea, but just make the cardboard a little bit smaller, so it says the title and the author.

the next costume is a book. for this costume you will need a poster board, string, and then paint or a sharpie. for this costume all you’ll need to do is paint/draw your favorite cover on there. then, you of course will need to tie this around your neck with the string. if you want to go all out, you can dress up as that book character underneath your book cover.

this is honestly a super simple idea, and it works if you want to show some pride in your favorite books. and this will honestly let all your artist talents shine. or, if you’re like me and can’t draw, it can show people how terrible you are at drawing.

anyway, that’s it for today! i honestly had so much fun with writing this post, and i think that this was so cool. and i honestly kind of want to make a post somewhat like this again, but maybe with what i think bookish couples will be. but, happy freak week and we only got one more day to go!

Halloween Creatures book tag | freak week day 6

hello everyone! today i am going to be doing the halloween creatures book tag! this honestly seems like such a fun tag, and i cannot wait to do this, since i’m all about spooky stuff and also those creatures that are all around Halloween.

WITCH- A MAGICAL CHARACTER OR BOOK

Cinderella is dead by Kalynn Bayron. i’m not really sure if this would count as magical or not, but let’s just count it as for the purpose of this tag. but, this book is such an amazing book. since it is a more ‘modern’ version, and that deals with LGBTQ+ characters and also a lot more feminist then the other Disney version.

WEREWOLF- THE PERFECT BOOK TO READ AT NIGHT

a good girls guide to murder by Holly Jackson. you’ll probably see this book 20 more times in this list. but, everyone knows how much i love this book, and how much i tell all my friends to read this book and scream about it on twitter. but, this book is so spooky, and i just think this is such an amazing book and it just makes it so much more spooky at night.

FRANKENSTEIN- A BOOK THAT TRULY SHOCKED YOU

my lovely wife by Samantha Downing. this book honestly shocked me so much, and the whole ending of this book. and honestly the whole ending just made everything so much more shocking. it honestly was so amazing, but i jut loved how shocking so much.

THE DEVIL- A DARK, EVIL CHARACTER

there’s someone inside your house by Stephanie Perkins. i’m going to go with the murder in this book. i’m not going to say who it is, for spoiler reasons. but, i mean the killer had all of this really bad killings, so honestly this character is so much like a devil character.

GRIM REAPER- A CHARACTER THAT SHOULD HAVE DIED

*this is going to be a very spoliery answer for good girl, bad blood*

but, for this one i’m going to go with Stanley Forbes in good girl, bad blood by Holly Jackson. look, i understand what Charlie was getting at, with him kidnapping his sister, but like Stanley was 9 years old so he really couldn’t have killed Charlie’s sister. but, i still think that Stanley didn’t deserve to die.

ZOMBIE- A BOOK THAT MADE YOU HUNGRY FOR MORE

good girl, bad blood by Holly Jackson. i know i’ve used this series for multiple other answers, but the ending of this book just made me want so many other books. especially since i love Ravi so freaking much, so just cannot wait to get into more books in this series. especially after the ending of this book, i just need so much more.

GARGOYLE- A CHARACTER THAT YOU WOULD PROTECT AT ALL COST

Charlie Turner in the kingdom keepers series by Ridley Pearson. she is probably one of my favorite book characters, so i would 100% protect her at all cost. and she is literally one of my favorite book characters in the world, so obviously protect her at all cost.

VAMPIRE- A BOOK SUCKED THE LIFE OUT OF YOU

good girl, bad blood by Holly Jackson. sorry that i’m using this book so freaking much, but i need to keep talking about it, since it was just so amazing. but, the whole ending just sucked the life out of me so much, and the one character i really liked just turned to be a dick, so it honestly sucked the life out of me.

GHOST- A BOOK THAT STILL HAUNTS YOU

after by Anna Todd. this book doesn’t haunt me in a good way at all. more of a one that is just so bad i cannot get over how much it sucks. and i honestly feel like it just is so toxic and crappy, so this book just haunts me so freaking much.

DEMON- A BOOK THAT REALLY SCARED YOU

sadie by Courtney Summers. i honestly don’t read to many spooky books, but this book was just so creepy, that i had to bring it up. and i honestly think that this was just kind of crazy, and that this whole book was just so crazy and honestly made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

SKELETON- A CHARACTER YOU HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH

Grey from a heart so fierce and broken by Brigid Kemmerer. i honestly hated him so much, and i just could not get with him, and with him in this book. and i mean, i feel like he was such a dick in this book, so i mean he just completely hated him, which makes the book so much more terrible.

MUMMY- A BOOK YOU WOULD PRESEVE THOUGHOUT TIME

Felix ever after by Kacen Callender. i just love this book so much, and i love it so freaking much. and this book is so important, and i think so many people can really see themselves in this story. so, i mean i think this should just be preserve throughout time for all these teens to read.

CREEPY DOLL- A COVER TOO SCARY TO LOOK AT

i honestly don’t think i’ve ever seen a book cover that was so scary for me to look at. i mean, there isn’t one on my TBR or whatever. so, i’m just going to skip it.

anyway, that’s it for today! i honestly really enjoyed doing this book tag, and talking about some of these spooky things and relating them to books. but, happy freak week day 6 and i’ll see you all tomorrow!

popular halloween horror books | freak week day 5

hello everyone! today i am going to be talking about some popular Halloween horror books. i have never read any of these books, since i’m such a chicken, so i have no clue if i’m ever going to read these books, since i don’t want to be scared for the rest of my life about it.

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno- Garcia. this is probably the most recent release on this list, but i still wanted to include this book. but, this book is all about a family, who is one of the cousins just got married. but, right as this cousin tells Noemí Taboada that she need needs her help.

i honestly started to read this book, but i never got into this book, since i just couldn’t get into this book at the time. so, i do want to read this book eventually, but i still want to get to this soon. i mean, i think it sounds so cool, but also so freaking scary so i’m super scared to get into this. but, make sure you check out the trigger warnings, since there is a ton, from what i heard, about this book.

the haunting of the hill house by Shirley Jackson. this is a story about four different people who arrive at the Hill House. but, their stay is supposed to be normal, but soon this gets to be a spooky encounter, but the house soon gets its power. if you couldn’t tell this seems so freaking spooky.

i really cannot wait to read this book, but at the same time i get so scared to read this book, since i think it might be so bad to get into it. but, i did get this in an owlcrate one month, but i’ve been to scared to actually pick it up. so, maybe i will in November or something, but don’t get your hopes up.

Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. i’m pretty sure everyone knows what this book is about, but i’ll give a short little description from goodreads. in this song there is a lot of talk about the everyday life for Irish people. so, the lyrics mean that the people are probably in a pub and drinking away all the angry, sadness, getting into fights and also talking about how good their life might be. but, the lyrics mean that people are drinking away all the pain and all their emotions. overall, this song seems really negative, since about everything that they are talking about. and since fighting and drinking a ton isn’t really a good thing, but everyone in the pub is talking about the good old days.

i plan to read this book eventually, but like in a couple years, since i personally don’t want to read this anytime soon, since i’m such a chicken. but, i’ll eventually read this book. and i know this is beloved by so many people, so fingers crossed i’ll get to it.

the southerns guide to haunting vampires by Grandy Hendrix. this story is all about Patricia Campbell who always wanted to have this big and grand life, but she gives up her plans to be a nurse in order to marry a doctor and become a mother. but, she always looks forward to her days at book club where she can read mysteries and talk about her love for books. but then a new person moves in on their block, and they start to investigate him and uncover his dark secrets.

i am honestly so interested in reading this book, since i just sounds so freaking good, especially with the whole vampire. and two, this is an adult book, so it won’t be that cheesy YA crap we’ve all read. and i honestly want to see what this book brings to the table involving vampires.

the sun down motel by Simone St. James. this book is all about a rundown motel, which has been in this family for a while. but, this motel has people that pass through town stay here, some are locals, whose main goal is to hide their secrets. but Viv Delaney works here to pave her way into New York. like everything goes, something isn’t right in this motel, and she wants to figure it all out.

this book honestly sounds so interesting, and i just think that this book could go in so many different directions, and i honestly just want to read this book so soon so i can learn everything about it. and i honestly hope this book involves murder in some way, since it would make it so much more interesting.

anyway, this is all for today! this list is kind of all over the place, since i did some classics, then more recent books, but these are more popular Halloween books, which i see a ton of people read around this time of the year and get all the hype right now.
