Book Tag; Hyped For Halloween Book Tag

As we're so close to Halloween, of course I felt the need to do another Halloween-themed book tag. I found the Hyped For Halloween Book Tag over at Life of a Female Bibliophile and decided to play along.

What book gave you the creeps?
The Midwives by Duncan Ralston most certainly gave me the creeps, in addition to making me sure in NOT wanting to birth any kids. I'm all okay with potentially being a stepmother though.

What book gives you the best Halloween vibes?
Halloween: A Short Story Collection by Matt Shaw is a suitable spooky read for Halloween.

What’s your favorite vampire book?
As I'm a bit of a Dracula geek, I obviously had to say that classic by Bram Stoker for this prompt. Otherwise I suspect a few of my friends would be wondering if I'm ill or something.

What book scared you so much you had to sleep with the light on?
Ahem, none has that effect on me, especially as I started reading Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe when I was around 12 years old. I'm basically so immune, that I can sleep with the lights off even with extreme horror.

What’s your favorite book about witches/goblins/ghosts/demons?
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill is so atmospheric, creepy, and well-written I think it's the perfect go-to book if you want a good old classic ghost story.

What book do you wish was scarier than it was?
As I mentioned earlier in this post, I'm a bit immune to scary stuff, so I feel it's a bit wrong to wanting books to be even scarier.

What’s your favorite book that takes place in October?
The Long Shadows of October by Kristopher Triana fits nicely into this prompt.

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...

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.
