Hello Lovelies!! Today we're getting into the Halloween spirit (ah! punny!!) with this top ten Tuesday from the Broke and the Bookish.  

Top Ten Books / Movies to Gear Up for Halloween!

Every Halloween I watch a handful of movies:

1. Hocus Pocus : This one's obvious. I'm a product of the 90s, I just can't go a year without it.
2. Practical Magic: I'm OBSESSED with this movie. I definitely tried to cast a love spell when I saw it when I was like seven or eight, but I figured I didn't know the words to say with it.
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas : Perfect for Halloween AND Christmas!!
4. Paranorman: So underrated!! Check it out if you haven't yet!
5. The Haunting in Conneticut : Perfect for when you want to actually be scared by a movie.

And a few books that I've read recently/think would be good to read around Halloween/or am planning to read ASAP:
6. Don't Look Back: Creepy mystery!
7. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender : Halloween costume ideas!!
8. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer : Super creepy!!
9. Welcome to the Darkhouse : Like reading a scary movie
10. Asylum : This looks so creepy!!

What about you lovelies?? Any yearly Halloween traditions? I'm a big fan of the holiday and related things (i.e. ghosts, vampires, werewolves, pumpkins, costumes). Leave me a comment with your favorite Halloween related thing!!

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...
