Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Favourite Holiday of the Year and Why


It's Wednesday and probably time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge post, courtesy of Long and Short Reviews. The theme of the week was favourite holiday of the year and why.

For me it's Halloween, as I can easily showcase my more gothic sides in addition that I have an excuse to indulge in paranormal and horror novels.

    My daughter's favorite holiday is Halloween as well. Now that she has little ones, she's had to scale back a bit on the scarier decorations, but she still goes all out. It's fun to see.

      Maybe for the best to scale back a bit on the most scary stuff if she has little ones, but it's still fun that she goes all out.

    Halloween (or for me it's Samhain) is my second favorite holiday.

    That one seems to be the winner.

    When I was younger and could dress in sexy costumes, I enjoyed it a whole lot more! My friends had never heard of an "adagio" dancer when I was in college and made myself a costume to dress as one! Lots of fun.

    When we lived in base housing, we'd get trick-or-treaters by the hundreds. I loved it! Where we live now, we don't get any and I miss seeing everyone dressed up and having a great time. Thanks for sharing!

      That sounds like lots of fun. Too bad Halloween isn't as big in Norway as it's in the US. There's been times when I haven't had a single trick-or-treaters at my door.

    Yay!! Someone who likes horror novels too. I adore them, along with any gothic style stories. Have you read The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell? A perfect Halloween read.

      Horror novels for the win, especially if they've got a gothic vibe. I haven't read The Silent Companions yet, but thanks for the recommendation.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. 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 ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
