Book Tag; The Halloween Book Tag

I came across The Halloween Book Tag over at Pretty Purple Polkadots and I decided to play along as it looked like a fun tag to do.

Favorite scary must-read for Halloween?
The Exorcist's House by Nick Roberts is such a good read in my opinion.

Scariest book cover?
It's perhaps not the scariest cover I know of, but The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana most certainly has a creepy Halloween vibe to it.

If you could go Trick-or-Treating with any author, who would you go with?
Edgar Allan Poe

If you could dress up as any bookish character for Halloween, who would you be?
The Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow.

If you could find anything (from any book) in your trick-or-treat stash, what would you hope it would be?
Any of the foods from LOTR.

In what fictional world would you like to go trick-or-treating?
I would probably enjoy trick-or-treating in the world of LOTR.

What book villain would you like to not meet in a dark alley on Halloween?
Well, I can't say I'm too keen on meeting Hannibal Lecter in a dark alley.


What would you rather dress up as: a vampire, zombie, werewolf or Shadowhunter?
I'd probably dress up as a vampire. The only thing I'd need to buy is a pair of fangs, as I've got quite a few goth pieces of clothing in my wardrobe.

What is your favorite Halloween candy?
While they may not be strictly Halloween candly, I do love Reese's peanut butter cups. In general, I do have a weak spot for chocolate.

Announcing the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
Even though I'm technically having a hiatus for my book blogging at the moment, I still wanted to announce the 2025 Diversity Reading Challenge, just in case anyone wanted to participate in it and start planning their TBR pile. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/m...

Top Ten Tuesday; Reasons Why I Love Being a Book Blogger

Image
It's Tuesday again and time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of  That Artsy Reader Girl . The theme of the week was reasons why I love X and I decided writing about why I love being a book blogger. 1) It gives me an outlet for my book passion 2) It gives me an excuse to read (not that I need an excuse of course) 3) The perk of recieving press copies from authors and publishers 4) The nice comments from authors when they've seen I've written a nice review of one of their books 5) Being part of the book blogger/bookish community, even if it has some flaws 6) Having a platform where I can raise awareness about diversity from time to time (and other issues related to books/literature) 7) Connecting with other book lovers 8) Discovering all the amazing books that's out there 9) Dabbling with Bookstagram 10) Getting inspiration, both in terms of books to read, but also book merch to buy, topics to talk about, etc.
