October Wrap-up & Book Haul

October is my FAVOURITE month of the year. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not huge on Halloween as a holiday. I don’t decorate the house, I’m allergic to raw pumpkin and my years of stumbling home drunk in a slutty witch costume are long dead.
No, I love October for the scary vibes! The colder days and darker nights are perfect for reading and watching all the new horror releases.

I signed myself up for 3 different readathons last month. A ridiculous idea really, trying to choose between books, movies or television was painful- as were my readathon results, check back later this week to see how I did.

Books read:

The Shuddering 
Hark The Herald Angels Scream Anthology
The Haunting Of Hill House
The Exorcist
OtherEarth
Halloween Party
Horrorstor

 

 

 

NetGalley Approvals:

Welcome To Dystopia – Gordon Van Gelder

Populace – A M Wilson

OtherEarth – Jason Segel & Kirsten Miller

 

eBook Purchases:

 

With titles like these on my TBR you might be surprised I only managed 7 reads this month! Aside from The Exorcist landing me in a terrible reading slump there were a few other distractions…

Horror Movies watched:

The Nun 💀💀💀💀
Mandy 💀💀💀
Halloween original 💀💀
Halloween 2018 💀💀💀
Hold The Dark 💀💀💀

I was nominated for my second Sunshine Blogger Award AND rewarded a third to be posted in the near future along with my first Versatile Blogger Award. Thankyou to Hannah and Mani for these.

Last week I was honoured to be featured on Twitter’s blog of the day with @The_WriteReads and WHOA what a response! My viewer stats on that Thursday alone equated to my usual weekly average. #Blogoftheday is an incredibly supportive community and I urge any and all book bloggers to check it out.

I’m also thrilled to see my very first tag creation FRIENDS is making it’s way out into the blogosphere. If you haven’t given it a whirl yet consider yourself tagged!
