I loved this as much as I figured I would! Such a witty and fun overview of some of the women pioneers of dark and spooky fiction, and it definitely introduced me to a few I‘d never heard of but now want to read, like Pauline E. Hopkins, Margery Lawrence, and Dorothy Macardle. Loved how it recommended specific works and similar contemporary titles/authors for each profiled author, too. Thanks again to @wen4blu for this excellent #AHRS gift!

wen4blu Hooray, I‘m so glad! 5mo

As I am nearing the bottom of my #AHRS candy bag I noticed some goodies I didn‘t catch on opening day. Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for these awesome stickers and candy cleavers. So cool!

MaleficentBookDragon You are welcome. I bought myself some Micheal Myers candy. 5mo

I fell asleep last night before I could open my #AllHallowsReadSwap package and just now sitting down to do it. Omg!! @Christine you went above and beyond!! I am SO EXCITED lol. These 2 books are so high on my TBR, and the candy!! White chocolate Reece‘s, caramel M&Ms, candy corn, and my favorite, candy corn pumpkins!!! I love the card and the pencils and bookmarks are super cute! Thank you so much!! @MaleficentBookDragon thanks for hosting! #AHRS

Reggie I‘m so excited for you! I loved The Between. I can‘t wait for her new book. 6mo
Christine Yay!! So glad you like everything and that it survived the box‘s rough journey! 😆 It was very fun to put it together for you. And I added the books to my TBR too, both look so good! I‘ve been wanting to read Tananarive Due for years, in no small part bc of Reggie‘s recommendations. #reggimendation Happy reading and hope you had really fun Halloween! @Reggie Just started The Reformatory for my first Due - so far so great!

Reggie @Christine I‘m so glad to hear it‘s great so far. I‘m like 2 people away from getting it through Libby. 5mo
Christine @Reggie Just finished and loved it so much. Can't wait for your review!! 5mo

According to my excel sheet everyone who participated in this year's “AllHallowsReadSwap #AHRS got their packages! No lost packages! It's a Halloween miracle. If I missed someone please let me know.

We had a great group this year and some really good books were given. My #TBR got bigger.

Stay tuned for a #jolabokaflodswap post soon for this year.
If anyone is interested?

So delightfully spoiled by my #ahrs partner! Thank you @BookishMadHatter Both books have been on my TBR for ages and I can‘t wait to dive in. There was also a delicious bag of treats that my fam made light work of - the gummy Jolly Ranchers were the biggest hit. Many thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing!

BookishTrish The book cozies are THE BEST! Thanks again! 6mo
Texreader Ditto what @BookishTrish said. They are the best!! 6mo

@wen4blu !! Thank you so much for this perfect #AHRS gift! I couldn‘t love it more. So excited to own the tagged book! The monogram bookmark is fantastic and the candy from your local shop was so thoughtful/is really delicious (lovely chocolate, and also the candy corn is notably better than your average candy corn! 😁). And OMG re: the Chiltern Frankenstein edition - it is SO gorgeous and special. 😍😍😍 Thanks again and have a great Halloween!

Christine And thank you for hosting, @MaleficentBookDragon - wishing you a great Halloween too! 6mo
LeahBergen The tagged book is so good! 6mo
wen4blu So happy you like it! Happy Halloween! 6mo

Christine @LeahBergen @MatchlessMarie I can‘t wait to start it!! Will do so tonight if I have any energy left after kid activities. 😆 Happy Halloween! 🖤🧡 6mo

@gossamerchild Tysm! I actually had just picked up Daisy Darker from the library and wished I could dedicate more time for it. So I‘m super stoked to not have to rush a fantastic story. I can‘t wait to get into these dark chocolate treats. 😍😍 @MaleficentBookDragon #AHRS Happy Halloween/Samhain & happy reading 💕

gossamerchild Yay, I'm so glad you like it! I adored that book! 6mo
