Welcome to Litsy!

I got some mad points from The Long Halloween. And I did the smart thing and read the individual issues instead of the trade collection. 13 issues, 25 points each, plus the word searches! #Scarathlon #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall

My review of this book can be found on my YouTube Vlog at:

I pick several books at the end of the previous month and see where the numbers land - I have Hide and 14 Ways to Die on hold at the library, the other books are available - I may try to get a bingo this month 😄
Either way it makes my reading month fun -
Make a great day everyone -

Not my usual genre, but what a fun reading experience!

This is an absolute classic. One of my first stops upon getting back into comics and it is absolutely a treat. A great way to introduce a new era

Checking this out before my HBO turns off. 😉

1. I do not, but I do keep a reading spreadsheet 📚
2. Not particularly! I've gotten in quite a few horror graphic novels though 🩸
3. Today, I am grateful for autumn sunshine 🍂☀️

As I am getting more and more into comics I just finished this classic and simply loved it ! The plot was good, greatly paced thanks to the murders happening each holiday. The art was gorgeous, it‘s what you think about when you think of classical comics, with strong images. I highly recommend this one even for beginners.

#review #comics #dc #batman

#comiccomfort This was one of my first graphic novels and I always go back to it. I love the story and the art and the lettering. I also just love a solid Batman story!

Wow, so good. Love the combination of so many villains throughout and so many plot twists!! All the way to the very end.

Final Daily Point update. This includes the week 4 game (32 comments) and Watching Twitches 2, Goosebumps 2, and Halloweentown. +1,255 #TeamHarkness #Scarathlon2020 #Screamathon2020 #Bookspinbingo #Trickortreadathon #thrilloween #gothtober #Rockyhorrorathon #AnUnfoetunateReadathon #TrickorTreatathon #supernaturalathon #bookishbingo #creaturefeatureathon #fortnightfrights #littenlisten #VotedEarlyreadathon

Wowie!!!! Reading picture books aloud to students, doing a million readathons and binging some fun TV and movies really stacked these points fast. My spreadsheet saved me on counting so that helped. I tracked my daily hours of reading on my notes phone app I was doing so many readathons. I had so much fun! I can‘t wait for the winter game! #teamharkness #scarathlon2020 @StayCurious

Wow I really upped my readathon game this week and that also meant I read a ton too! I‘ve included a point for this post as well. I need to post more coming up to stack some extra points too. #teamharkness #scarathlon2020 @StayCurious

10/13-10/16
Fiction: *Think about Plot* What lesson does this story teach about life? How does it teach it?

The dynamics in the city are always evolving.You take out one crime boss, and then a new variety of criminals “the lunatics“ take over the city.

This teaches us that crime will always exist, in might happen in a different form but the cycle will continue.

Genre: Murder mystery
Date: Oct 4 to Oct 12 .
Why I picked this book: I picked this book because This is one of the best Batman stories of all time, I've heard nothing but good things about it
Summary: This book is about, Batman,Jim gordon and Harvey dent working together to stop Carmine Falcone. but there is a mysterious killer calling themself Holiday because he or she is killing members of the Falcone crime family on Holidays
My rating:10/10

4🌟 for this comic book classic. A murder on Halloween has Batman, Jim Gordon, & Harvey Dent looking for the killer, who continues to strike on holidays. A good amount of Batman's Rogue's Gallery appear. Interesting ending. Helps to have basic knowledge of the DC comics world. Not my favorite artwork overall, but some stunning panels.

It's a cool & rainy fall day in NJ. My manager is out of the office, I can't use my main sales program due to updates, and the rain seems to be keeping the craziness at bay. It's a perfect afternoon to curl up in the armchair in our conference room and log a few reading hours.

Curious as to everyone‘s thoughts on another round of #Scarathlon in 2020?

If we go forward with the event, there will be some changes this year. There will still be two main teams, one horror/paranormal based, and one mystery/suspense. Each participant will be in charge of tracking their own points, and will be required to check in through out the month of October. There will be points for reading, movies, weekly games and participation. 👻

Another good Batman graphic novel. Different style but still really good

My costume last night . A spooky harlequin skeleton clown? Just something I threw together ! I had so much fun dancing and won a dance competition! Halloween is my favorite it‘s never over! #halloweencostume

Finished another graphic novel. I should always have a stack on hand for Sunday‘s! This one was good. I liked the idea of a killer that killed on every holiday. It made it interesting.

Whiskey has mixed feelings about Howloweenie!🤣🤣🤣😱 #TeamSlaughter #Scarathon #DogsOfLitsy @Clwojick

The Long Halloween has always been one of my favorite classic Batman storylines of all time. It's 13 issues of gritty, noir, mobster goodness and IMO Jeph Loeb tells an incredible story full of crazy plot development and twists that keep you guessing all the way through. Not to mention Tim Sale's dark art style that suit the story perfectly! 🦇

@TheReadingMermaid

Batman on Halloween? What could be better?
With an All-Star cast including Catwoman, Two-Face and Poison Ivy, this is definitely one of my favorite Batman comic series. Well illustrated, story is very well-thought-out and parts of it we're even made into a movie! This one definitely gets a two thumbs way up from me! 👍😁👍

6pts for #TeamStoker #Scarathlon

UH OH!!!! Tamara just went through her comic book stacks!!!! WATCH OUT!!!

This week we're talking about graphic novels and comic books and we are curious to know:

What was your very first graphic novel/comic book? Did you like it? If so, what made you like it so much? 👇👇

#MayMadness #DiscussionThursday
@Clwojick @RadicalReader

The Long Halloween is a chilling story that inspired Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. It features a ton of villains, but focuses on Harvey Dent's transformation into Two Face.

#HalloweenHorrorSwap Sent it out this morning-2-day priority. Forgot the picture, but here's a delightful one for you @TheLibrarian 😱 @TheReadingMermaid

Another winner! I love the mystery in these comics and the character progressions. It‘s not just all about Batman. There‘s so much more going on. But really how poor is security as Arkham Asylum?

Movie: They Live, Alien, Nightbreed, etc
Candy: M& M's, those caramel apple suckers, candy corn
Book: The Woman in Black, Horns, Tommyknockers, Misery, and on and on. My favorite genre!
Decor: bats, monsters, coffins, and skeletons
Witches: yay!
Pet: bat or raven

@JoScho #thisishalloween

‪Why is the Halloween candy making an appearance already. You know that‘s 3 MONTHS, it‘s a Quarter of a year, a whole season away! ‬

‪I know readers are getting rarer, but has everyone else stopped reading the calendar too? 🙄

Another fine addition to the Batman mythology. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hey so remember how I thought I'd be back in Portland by Oct 31st & had my #halloweengoespostal match send my package to my friend's house & then I couldn't get to it & she never sent it down to Ashland for me? Well I finally got to visit PDX AND OPEN MY PACKAGE! SO sorry to @SaturnDoo for making you wait! Thank you for the lovely gifts-I did find the card you mentioned in the Halloween cookbook! (There was also candy in this box but I ate it 😆)

Holy snikes!! I have been overly spoiled and all I did was open the box. (Okay my mom did that). A new out of print pouch and a tote bag that I have been wanting. Amazing. And the packages are so pretty I'm going to take my time in wrapping so I can keep some of this fab paper!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!! Loved getting to see everyone's packages from all the exchanges! I'm stuck working this hallowed night but I'm living vicariously though all of your posts 🎃🎃🎃

@Chelleo thank you, thank you, thank you! It has been a long month for me and I finally got to open my package tonight! This is the sweetest, most thoughtful box! I love the books you chose and cannot wait to read them! Including the two sticker books for my girls brought tears to my eyes! (Happy tears). Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #Halloweengoespostal #fallbookexchange
