Well, we made it. It's Halloween. Which means today is the last day of my 31 in 31. Did I succeed? Absolutely not. Did I try? I did. I really did but life is hard and lessons were learned.
October Wrap up
Horror Themed Book Nooks
Have you heard of book nooks? I didn't until recently. But now that I've seen them, I want one for every shelf.
6 Scary Good Book Covers
They say you can't judge a book by it's cover. But isn't that the point of a book cover, to grab you attention. They are designed to catch your attention. From a bookshelf they holler, "Hey. Look at me. Pick me up. Choose me."
Book Review – Fantasticland
As I'm writing this, I just finished the twelfth book in my 31 in 31 book reading challenge. I have read some great classics - Dracula, Frankenstein, The Lottery, The Doll, Carrie.

10 Free Kindle Horror Books
One of the tragedies of being a bookworm is having an infinite hunger for books but a very finite bank account. For many book lovers, the library has been our saving grace.

We have a used bookshop that I love but those books still aren't free.
So, what's a train wreck with a fiction addiction to do?
Kindle to the rescue. I'm not talking about Kindle Unlimited (you check that out here https://amzn.to/3mBxsxg ). These are real, live actual books. Because sometimes, authors will offer you the first in their book series to get you hooked and then you feel compelled to buy the rest of the series. Which may have happened a time or two in my Kindle ownership.
10 Scary Not So Family Night Movies
Shockingly, I do more than just read and drink coffee. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I worked in a video store. Not like Blockbuster. God no. More like Randall from Clerks. It was small and we only ever had one or two copies of new releases. It was amazing. And the bonus was being able to watch all the movies I wanted. And a lot of times I didn't have to worry about little kids coming in because no one was coming in. So I popped the tapes in the VCR and watched Johnny, Ash, Ripley, Freddy, Michael, and Jason. It was glorious and I miss it.
