Five Friday Favorites: Halloween Movies

I love October. I love the decorations, reading cozy books, and watching Halloween movies. However.. I hate being scared. I scare really easy and already suffer from crazy nightmares. So I don’t do scary movies. But this time of the year I still want to get into the Halloween spirit. So here’s a list of my favorite non-spooky Halloween movies!

It’s Spookathon time again! One year ago I started my bookstagram account specifically to participate in this readathon. For those that don’t know, Spookathon is the annual readathon hosted by Books and Lala and it’s all about reading spooky books and thrillers. Spookathon runs from October 15 – October 21. If you’re looking to get into the Halloween spirit, I definitely recommend joining this readathon!

There is a group book as well as reading challenges. This year the group book is Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft. If you’re trying to find a book that knocks out as many challenge as possible, definitely pick this one up! It covers every challenge expect Read a Thriller.

Here are all the challenges and books I’m trying and read this week!

October TBR

It’s October and that means it’s time for all the witchy, spooky, Halloween-y books! I’m a huge chicken and horror is definitely not my genre. But I’ve been in SUCH a mood for mysteries and thrillers. So I’ve loaded my TBR with pretty much every one on my Goodreads Want to Read shelf. Which means my TBR is crazy out of control.

I’m planning to take part in 3 readathons (because apparently I’m feeling overly ambitious this month) and have specific TBR’s set aside for those that I’ll share as they get closer. So this list is just the books I want to squeeze in during the first week and last few days of the month.
