Since the hubs is working a couple of nights I have gotten a couple Halloween movies in. And finished the first in a new to me paranormal mystery romance series that is unlike anything I‘ve read before. This blame it on Litsy moment is thanks to @wanderinglynn #Scarathalon #TeamSlaughter 26 pts

I am so behind in my #litsylove replies because I haven‘t been home and when I am home I‘ve been working like crazy and studying. I promise I‘m gonna get back on track.

In today‘s mail haul though I got this really cute card from my mom. She is where I get my major love of Halloween and all things witchy. I‘m currently working out if I‘ll be able to surprise her by going back home to spend it with her. 🧙🏻‍♀️🎃👻

Okay, all this book shopping is starting to read like lifestyle porn, so I think I'll reign it in for a while after this.

Anyway, had a special coupon for B&N that expired today, so I used it to buy, among other things, my 10th Vonnegut novel (miscounted before the last post, I'm still 4 short of all the novels).

I read a lot of fantasy so almost any of my books could work but I decided to focus on a few with #magical titles by some favourite authors. I‘ve read all of these multiple times except Hocus Pocus which is still tbr. #LiteraryLuck

@Gissy really spoiled me for our #hocuspocusswap! I love everything you sent! I've been dying to read all of these books and I love all of the Hocus Pocus specific things (especially the mug, I can't wait to show it to my students!). On top of all that I love Puerto Rico so the local things you sent were so appreciated! Thank you so very much for the effort you put into all of this!

Gissy So happy you liked everything! I bought a mug for me too! We were lucky because I wanted to buy another one for my other match and they are sold out😢 6y

@JamieLou - I‘m hoping it won‘t make a difference but I‘m shipping your package tomorrow because one piece decided not to be delivered til today even though I ordered it over a week ago and I really don‘t want to send without it! But, I think if I get it out first thing tomorrow, you will@still have it well before he 13th. I‘ll see if I can expedite shipping too! Just wanted to let you know 😊

Victoriahoperose @JamieLou the post office said it should still get there by this Friday 😌 6y
JamieLou @Victoriahoperose hey there! I don‘t know why I didn‘t see this before. No worries here, I‘m a little behind too (everything I ordered just got out for delivery today 😬) but I‘m shipping yours 2 Day Priority so it will be there in time! 😊 6y

madamereadsalot1 Lol! Oh gosh, mine is probably nothing comparatively! I hope I don't disappoint. 😅 I also didn't write any of the fun stuff on it. Because my brain didn't think to do that. I'm leaving for a business trip tomorrow and all I can think about is how unprepared I am for that. Ha! 6y

I love Kurt. He had a way with words. I like to believe he was clairvoyant since most of the social commentary still holds up.

OrangeMooseReads @ValerieAndBooks lol that one is on my TBR. I‘m slowly working my way through all of Vonnegut‘s works. 7y
britt_brooke @OrangeMooseReads Agree. His books totally transcend time! I‘m working my way through, too. I have 2 novels left - Player Piano and Jailbird, plus I think a couple of his short stories collections. 7y

1. The movie Hocus Pocus is a childhood favorite, and I love watching it every October. 🎃
2. I'm planning to start my #lmpbc selection...just waiting on its arrival! 📦
3. Milk chocolate...all the way! 🍫
4. Yes, but nothing major: seasonal allergies, cats...very manageable stuff.
5. A bulldozer bookend.
