Day 18: Books & Chocolate - I made homemade Reese‘s Bars recently, which pair nicely with all manner of books. #bookishwackyholidays #octoberbookchallenge #booksandchocolate #callthemidwife #memoir #britishbooks #london #peanutbutter #chocolate

I've been eyeing this book for SO long & finally found a copy, in the bargain section no less! It takes place in the 1920s in London, which are two elements that are almost insta-sold for me. I cannot wait to get lost in this story.

JazzFeathers Have you read it yet? I want to read it too. I like he 1920s ^_^ 8y
BiblioNyan @JazzFeathers Yes, I enjoyed it very much. The pacing can be slow at times, but overall it's a very good book! I plan re-reading it soon. 😊 8y

The Graveyard Book | Neil Gaiman

Happy birthday to Neil Gaiman! 🎂 I discovered his books this year and so far I've loved everything. My current Gaiman indulgence, The Graveyard Book is just spectacular. ⚰️ It's spooky, but soft & warm with wisdom that's great for all ages. Thank you, Sir Gaiman, for quickly becoming a favourite author!

The Graveyard Book | Neil Gaiman

Starting book 4 from my Spoopy October TBR! This sounded like it would be the perfect companion for this month of scares. 👻 This will be my 3rd Gaiman read, and so far I haven't been disappointed by him at all. 😁

Well my, this story got dark quickly. Seriously guys, these stories are so good. They are so dark and haunting and affecting. Her writing is magical yet leaves me with a pit in my stomach. 🌳🍃🤐

How have I not read AS Byatt before?

KVanRead Have been meaning to read more of her forever. ❤️❤️❤️ 8y
BookishFeminist @KVanRead Possession's been on my list for so long! I think I'm going to crack it open around Valentine's Day. 8y
GinaAnderson Love Byatt. 8y

DiruVamp Ok I'm officially hooked I need this one ASAP!! 8y
BookishFeminist @GinaAnderson Yes I'm beginning to learn she is wonderful! Do you have any favorites of hers? Aside from Possession? I definitely want to read more of her after this one! 8y
BookishFeminist @DiruVamp Yes you do! I swear I'm going to read her entire backlist when I'm done with this collection 💅🏼 8y
GinaAnderson @BookishFeminist In addition to Possession, I've read Babel Tower and The Children's Book. I liked Babel Tower better but both are very satisfying. 8y
Lani_bug What genre does she write? 8y
Caryl @BookishFeminist - Valentine's Day/February would be a great time to start Possession. I loved that book, and I want to read this one, too. 8y
KVanRead @BookishFeminist That would be perfect timing. 8y
BookishFeminist @Lani_bug Hard to describe- this is a book of fairy tales 8y
BookishFeminist @GinaAnderson Those both sound wonderful! Adding them to my ever-growing TBR. 8y
BookishFeminist @Caryl @KVanRead That's what I was thinking! I'm not huge on Valentine's Day but I use it as an excuse to read love stories and romance since I don't usually gravitate toward those type of books without an excuse, lol. 8y
KVanRead @BookishFeminist I'm not much of a romance reader either but Possession is the perfect one for book and history nerds🤓 8y
Caryl Ditto what @KVanRead said. It is such a cool book! 8y
BookishFeminist @KVanRead @Caryl That makes me even more excited. Thank you both! 8y
