October #wrapup #spookoween #31by31 #witchathon

Had so much during Litsy spooky time with all the marathons. I read 4 books, one of them was witchy, 2 comics, 1 children‘s picture book, and 1 middle grade fiction with over 32 hours of reading time for the month. Thank you to all the wonderful Littens for hosting these events @TEArificbooks @TheSpineView @Catsandbooks

Thank you @PuddleJumper , Team #Flerken, #HauntedShelf, #Spookoween, and @TheSpineView for encouraging more reading in a busy month!
I didn‘t reach my lofty goal of 6 books, but I got 1 book read that‘s been on my shelf for awhile, 1 book read for book club, & took a big bite out of Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix. I read enough of an ARC to write a review, & enjoyed an essay related to an art exhibit seen this month. +2 new authors to 🧡!

Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday, hope that by next Friday, one of your own joys is that you're all well 🙏💝.

Thank you 🌺💝 and @TheSpineView for the tags 🐎💝.

1- Halloween was fun & peaceful 💕🎃💝

2- Today begins day one of Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) 💕👻💝.

3- Completed eight books for #HauntedShelf and & #SpookOWeen...never really tracked how many books I read per-month, yet this feels like a record for me.

I was finally able to fill one of the more difficult #52bookclub categories, “Author debut in second half of 2024.“ I've read a number of novels by Andrew Pyper, but this is his debut under the pseudonym Mason Coile.

This short novel is a spooky haunted house story featuring AI “monsters“. I didn't enjoy it as much as the other Pyper works I've read, but as it was set on Hallowe'en day, it was a good one to read this week.

A low pick. Inspired by Le Fanu's Carmilla, this graphic novel set in 1990's NYC features mysterious deaths, vampires and Chinese folklore. It was a good quick read for Hallowe'en night.

This thriller, about an FBI agent hunting a serial killer, kept me reading late into the night!

Last book I finished in October. This was a fantasy romance novel where every year a witch is collected from each village to protect the realm. The village is attacked and set ablaze so they go off on a journey to get to the king. A lot happens on the journey. I believe this is the first in the series.

Had so much fun with #HauntedShelf this month, especially with these four month-long readathons!! I had set a goal of averaging 210pgs/day for the #Spookoween readathon and ended up at 216pg average, so I was pretty stoked!! I completed 24 books/short stories, so not quite 31 but close!!! This also means 24 Pumpkaboos captured (8 short, 8 medium, 6 large, 2 super!!). And finally I also captured 8 Pokemon for the #SpookyEdition challenge.
