pickPublished in 2018, Pumpkinheads won the Whippoorwill award and Goodreads choice award. This is a story about two young children who see what it is like to leave behind a place and a person for the first time. I would read this book to a group of older children because I think it has a very relatable message about leaving things in the past.
pickAward: Whipporwill Book Award
Published: 2019
Genre: Fiction/ Graphic Noel/ Comic
Author & Illustrator: Faith Eric Hicks/ Sarah Stern
Deja and Josie work each year at the local pumpkin patch for the last three years and have become good friends. Each year on Halloween the patch throws a jamboree that they work. Josie has a crush on another girl who works that day and needs to find her, with the help of Deja, to tell her how he feels.
@TheAromaofBooks I got 9 squares ticked off in October for #BookSpinBingo and I managed to get a line too!!π
pickI‘ve seen so many great reviews of this book that I looked it up to see if by chance it was available through my library and it was. I started it at school today during independent reading time and finished it this evening between trick-or-treaters. Although I completely saw that end coming, it was a fun read and perfect for this evening.

@Clwojick
pickAwww, I loved it! So much fun and perfect for the season. If you haven‘t read it, give it a try. Highly recommended! π
Decided to paint pumpkins this year instead of carving them! They turned out cute! π

Hoping to have time to read this one again this year! It's just such a delight. π

pickThis was my #BookSpin this month. Rereading this every fall is one of my favorite holiday traditions! Even though I‘m not a Rainbow Rowell fan in general, I just adore this story! #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Spookoween2022 @TheSpineView #31by31 @Catsandbooks #PointsAThon @dieareader @GHABI4ROSES #OutstandingOctober @Andrew65 #TrappedOnAnIsland @aperfectmjk
pickI am dangerously behind on reviews - this was a reread that was just as lovely and autumnal the second time around π₯°ππ

pickThis is my 2nd year of reading Pumpkinheads and I loved it just as much this time as I did last year! It makes me happy!
pickI picked this up for the first time in 2019 and it was one of my best decisions. I reread it every year and I love it more each time. It‘s their last night working at DeKnock‘s World Famous Pumpkin Patch and Deja is determined Josie will speak to the girl he‘s been crushing on for 3 years. They travel all around The Patch in a quest to locate Marcy, but what they find is so much better. Great art and fun banter make this a 5 πread.
And of course Pumpkinheads is such a quintessential fall read! #OminousOctober prompt Pumpkins @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs #scarathlon2022 #teammonstermash
pickFor #ominousoctober today I am obviously posting the greatest pumpkin fiction of all time, something I‘ve read every year in October since I first got it. I could not love this book any more!
Photo challenge and bucket list item for #scarathlon2022 #teamslaughter @Clwojick
pickVery cute and quick graphic novel
This was a cute book featuring a fall pumpkin patch. I've heard the book referred to as charming and that's exactly what it is.
However, I don't see myself rereading this next fall. It was good but life is short and I'm picky about what I pick up again.
This is also the 35th book of the year and my Goodreads goal has been reached!
Went to Jack O‘Latern World tonight and checked off a couple bucket list items.
Drink Apple Cider (and bonus Apple cider donuts)βοΈ
Enjoy the cool weather with a walk βοΈ
Bonus enjoying the full moon at this event.
It was an interesting week. Finished a middle grade book and DNF'd another middle school book. I flipped through a book on cottagecore but decided it wasn't for me. I reshelved βOther Birdsβ for later.
So, with me being on vacay this week I have plans to finish the two books listed. βPumpkinheadsβ will keep me entertained at work today. βHell Houseβ will kick off my week off on Monday.
My progress so far for #AutumnAtoZ! Quick question, @Texreader but do comics/graphic novels or kids books count too? Just checking, since I know a lot of people will be reading those for #Scarathlon?

pickAww, I loved this. Funny and sweet. My favorite part was the heavy focus on fall foods. π This + a cozy autumn ASMR room was the perfect first night of October activity. And π€ that this + a lighter work/family schedule this week busts my mini reading slump.

βThat‘s the nicest one,β they said.

pickI read this last year for #Scarathlon and loved it so much I've decided it's going to be a yearly traditionππ #TeamMonsterMash
Okay quite ambitious and not likely to all be read but this is my TBR for #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter . A good variety and I definitely can't wait for my annual pumpkin heads read.

Anyone else want to play?

I love autumn festivals and fairs like this π so fun
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
so-soA simple romcom in a graphic novel shell. The plotline is quite predictable and cliche. The illustration is quite good. The autumn theme and color pallette gives an aura to the illustrations.
Rating : 2.5/5

pickWow this book popped up in my Libby feed after a long hold. I wasn‘t expecting it but it was an adorable graphic novel. I give it 9 out of 10 because it gives Valentines Day vibes but also Fall vibes. Fun read. Totally recommend if you love spooky season, fall fun, and pumpkins π€ #pumpkins #friends #fudgegirl #fall #fallfun #graphicnovel #lbgtq #flannels
Today, one of my students surprised me with two Rainbow Rowell books! With my name!! By far one of the coolest gifts I‘ve ever received. One of the student‘s relatives is good friends with the author! What a small world.
pickHappy New Year! Starting the reading year off with a graphic novel and my first #NYWD pick.
A high school senior, oblivious to girls, gets help from his pumpkin patch BFF in a last ditch effort to talk to the girl he likes from afar.
The story may be a little predictable, but it serves as comfort food - kind of like the patch foods sampled throughout the book. Faith Erin Hicks did a great job illustrating.
#NewYearWhoDis
pickThis one was a #blameitonlisty impulse buy/read.
Super worth it. Totally adorable. All of the autumn vibes.
ππππππ
Benny approves. #catsoflitsy
pickI read 3 books on my Kindle.
Pumpkinheads was a re-read but it's cute and perfect for Halloween
The Companion was my favorite of the 3.
People like her was interesting.

@Clwojick
This one is always a fun reread this time of year. ππ₯°
pickI had to reread this one today. Like many Littens, it‘s becoming a Halloween tradition. I find new things in each reread, such a cute story. My favorite parts are the punny signs. #scarathlon @Clwojick #teamslaughter 26 pts
