Hello beautiful people! Hope everyone had a good weekend and is surviving Monday alright. I wasn't feeling good this weekend and didn't get much reading done at all. I normally do so much reading in October and this month feels like a bit of a bust - I guess I still have more than a week left though! Fingers crossed. I have to leave time for some scary movie watching though!!! - - Today's prompt for the #tbrandbeyondoctchallenge is Candy Corn. It was fun doing up this picture and finding the colors and such for it! I am not someone who likes candy corn though - it looks pretty, but it tastes like wax or something. I don't know! Not for me! I can't even think of when I would've had it last. Probably years ago. Must be a lot of candy corn lovers out there though because it's always around every Halloween. - - - What is your favorite Halloween candy? I always liked getting Twizzlers, Reese Peanut Butter Cups and Chips!
“That the battles are usually in her head does not lessen the bravery of it. The hardest ones always are.” - Jackaby The Jackaby Series! I have only read the first one and loved it so much! I am still hoping to read the other three by the end of the year, but it's likely just a dream. I'm so bad about finishing series. I am trying to get better - been working on it this year and overall doing better. Ok, I am going to finish this series this year! Hold me to it LOL - - - Today's prompt for the #tbrandbeyondoctchallenge is M for Mystery and I love a good historical historical fiction mystery and Jackaby throws in some paranormal elements too. I know historical fiction is not for everyone but I just adore it - it is slower paced but I don't really ever notice it. As long as the characters are good and the stories are interesting - I don't mind slower paces at all. - - - - Have you read the Jackaby series? Are you into historical fiction at all?
Hello all you beautiful people! I feel like I have nothing to say at all today - does anyone else get like that when they are posting on IG? It's like I get on here to post and my mind goes BLANK and I zombie out and can't think of a single thing. Ah well.... What can you do? - - - Today's prompt for #tbrandbeyondoctchallenge is Red and Black Books, so I dragged down a couple of my beautiful Barnes and Noble Collector's editions. I'm in Canada, so these weren't cheap getting over here but it was so worth it. I have a couple shelves full of them and I just adore them. They are stunning. - - - October 15th! We are about halfway to Halloween now!!! ☠️🎃👻
Just a quick post today, hope everyone had a great weekend and for those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving weekend - hope you had an awesome long weekend! I didn't get much done this weekend at all - pretty much no reading. Hoping to have a great reading week for #spookathon this week though! - - - The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit. Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as necromantic skeletons. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.
