Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery | 
Able to get away with some covert reading at my office today thanks for the super awesome book cover that @LibrarianRyan Gave to me during our Halloween swaps. Seriously one of the best things that I‘ve ever gotten… Thank you
pickI couldn‘t put this book down. If you love folk horror this one is for you. But it‘s still a nuanced story. It‘s not just scary. I felt a wide range of emotions reading this. But that‘s all I‘ll say because I don‘t want to spoil anything. And the artwork throughout the book really brought the story to life. Slewfoot is a work of art.

Time for the last bullet journal spread of 2021. I like to make a yearly wrap up to recap each year. This year I read 89 books, which beat my goal of 85. I bought less books, but I spent more money. So I‘ve got to work on that next year. But overall, it was a successful reading year.
I‘ve really enjoyed growing the blog and meeting so many great people! You guys have made this year awesome! I hope y‘all have a happy, healthy 2022!
pickA fantastic tale of Puritan New England, this dark & fantastical story had me giddy. No subtle & quiet tale of witchery, this is horror with devilry & destruction. It is dark & brutal with moments of serious gore. The plot can be a little slow in places, but it is still a great story with a morally DARK gray protagonist. It's always a weird feeling to root for such a protagonist, but oh it was a delicious read. I regret nothing.
I love browsing Barnes & Noble and finding books that im not familiar with but are right up my alley! The story and pictures look amazing!
It‘s that time of year to start making Christmas wishlists. I‘m a list maker by heart. It‘s how I function day-to-day. So making my Christmas wishlist is always fun. Here are a few books that I‘ve added to my bookish wishlist this year.
Slewfoot
Leviathan Wakes
Cytonic
The Name of the Wind
The Lies of Locke Lamora
Have you added any books to your wishlist?
panI started out engaged by Abitha‘s plight . . . until the story took an irrecoverable turn. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#slewfoot-a-tale-of-bewitchery
pickDefinitely judge this one by its (awesome) cover. Brom‘s very orginal, very dark tale of witchery in 1600s colonial America is brilliant, but be warned that the scariest characters here are the Puritans. 😱

Thank you so much @phantomx I am really looking forward to reading Slewfoot and Something is Killing the Children sounds right up my alley. I love Pennywise and I'm looking forward to trying the tea and chocolate 🎃

pickBook 10 for the October themed reads. This one! OMG the story is so good. Unfortunately it‘s hard to describe without giving the story away so I‘ll just say worth picking up! Story and artwork are amazing!
#LittensDressedInBlood Today's prompt is Room on the Broom
This one is on my TBR pile, so I thought I'd use it as today's picture.

pickThe most terrifying part of the book is the Puritans. They are so rigid and judgmental. I can‘t imagine living in a society like that, where everyone watches each other for the slightest transgression. The writing is atmospheric and made me feel I was there with Abitha. The story moves along steadily but a little slowly. The pacing was fine with me as I really enjoyed just reading about life at that time.
I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 265.

#BookHaul !!!! 🍁 Many based on #BookTube recommendations, some just because they looked good 😁 some from #MyTBR by #BookRiot, one from #HarvardBookstore subscription and one from #AndOtherStories Publishing…
hmm…what should I read next 🤔 🍁
pick🎧 Abitha‘s an outspoken (bit snarky) young English lass shipped off to Puritan America to marry a man 10yrs her senior.
She‘s a subtle witch, making charms & casting small spells but an outspoken free spirit! She‘s a handful for a sweet sheepish man who‘s brother walks all over him. They live on a farm in the middle of no where that the evil brother owns even though it‘s part of an inheritance. 1 more loan payment & it‘s theirs!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4👇🏻
I just preordered a signed 1st edition of this book for my baby sister! She is a huge fan of Brom (she named her kitty after him haha) but she doesn‘t follow the book circles like I do, so when the opportunity to purchase a signed book by him popped up I knew I had to grab one for her. It will be her first ever signed book and I know it being by Brom she will be so excited! I can‘t wait for Sept to get here so I can see her reaction!
Brom has a new book coming out! ❤
