Halloween is my favorite time of year. Not only do you get to have CANDY CANDY CANDY given to you for no reason (or as an adult you can finally buy the good stuff) but you also get to dress up and have fun that is not allowed the rest of the year! And a tradition I try and do is find a couple new books to add to the Halloween collection of treats Bone Soup A Spooky Tasty Tale is the stone soup […]

The illustrations are black and white with pops of […]
What We Do for Love and Greed
Confession time: I listened to this book solely because I decided that I would not be finishing The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood for the Go Fug Yourself book club over on Goodreads.

I needed a palate cleanser, and I needed a moody atmospheric listen to go along with Halloween. […]
