NightmareSwap

K.M.-Forester

I loved my #nightmareswap box! I love Dracula and Frankenstein so the bookmarks are a hit to my heart ❤️. I am obsessed with diamond painting as well so I will be starting asap! Slewfoot is a book I recently saw at Barnes and nobles so I can‘t wait to read it. @LibrarianRyan @Readergrrl

LibrarianRyan Nice!!! 1y

Readergrrl I‘m so excited! I just finished Slewfoot and I really loved it! It reminds me a lot of the film, The Witch, with Anya Taylor-Joy. I enjoy making those bookmarks too! I started making bookmarks last year. It‘s so much fun thinking of scary books, finding terrifying quotes from them, then thinking about how to best symbolize the book itself. I don‘t often get a chance to be creative in real life, but this swap allows me to play!! 1y

I did not have a chance to post a picture about my boxes sent for both of my swaps but I hope make up for with this great pic from our new Louis in the AMC tv series. The series is giving me life(and death). Who can stay mad at this face? My apologies again. I am finally up and around and packages were sent out last week. Everyone should have their packages. #nightmareswap #litsyfallswap #respiratoryinfection #spookyseason #fall #biteme

Bookgoil, LibrarianRyan

LibrarianRyan Yeah., I really want to watch this but I am too cheep to pay for AMC. 2y

Blerdgal_Fenix @LibrarianRyan I saw one episode and was in love. It will play on AMC for free but you have to pay if you miss it. So I am going to do like I did with P-Valley, wait till the season ends pay the couple dollars to stream the whole season at once. Best $5 I spent on STARZ for 2 seasons of PVAlley. 2y

annahenke I want to watch this! 2y

Ya'll. I cannot help myself. Halloween swaps are my addiction.

I host the #NightmareSwap each Halloween, and we have changed it up many times. This time, I am making it a #MakersSwap for all of us to like to make things!. And it shall be the #NightmareMakersSwap.

https://forms.gle/wtDzA7YrvwzAR72H6

For those who have not been around for a #MakersSwap. It works like most others, except you have to make something for your swap, and send them ⬇

LibrarianRyan something that they can make. Plus you throw in a book to tie it all together!.

This is a fun swap. BEWARE the dates. This swap will open 1 week earlier than the other Halloween swaps - so we can enjoy peoples creations before Halloween. Yeahh.

As always if you have any questions please feel free to ask or check out some of the other tags.

Avanders I also totes missed this one…. Not that I should be involved in creative swaps… 😳🙈 But of course, I‘m generally all-in on the nightmare theme 😁😘🎃 2y

LibrarianRyan @Avanders you have time. I haven‘t closed it yet. Family wedding g weekend and the kids are down. I won‘t get it closed til tomorrow. I was going to repost and just have not had a chance. 2y

Avanders @LibrarianRyan cool! As indicated, I‘m not … as much of a maker as I‘d like to be (you know, time *and* talent permitting), but if using craft kits is acceptable, then I‘m in! I‘ll fill out the form now — But if you think craft kits wouldn‘t be appreciated (and note — I‘m happy to *send* real craft supplies, not just a kit, but I‘ll only be able to *use* a kit), then you can not match me. I‘ll completely understand!! 2y

LibrarianRyan @Avanders there is nothing wrong with lots. Sometimes that‘s how you learn new skills. So bring it on. 2y

@LibrarianRyan You had me Nightmare Swap. I'm slowly trying to find my art sets to get myself prepared for the alteration I'll make to the swap I'll be assigned. I'm excited and curious about this one #nightmareswap #AlteredNightmareSwap👿

LibrarianRyan Yeahhhh 3y

Swaps | Sherree DeCovny

I thought I would change up the #nightmareswap this year and make it an #AlteredNightmareSwap. This is a one book swap. You only have to send 1 book. But you do have to alter it. (more on that later) I have chosen to do this so that more people can participate. One book can usually be sent for under $5 in the US using Media Mail.

Sign up ends Sept 5, and opening is Halloween. ALL Ages Welcome.

LibrarianRyan There are many ways to alter a book. Some examples: Sprayed edges, or stenciled edges. Make a new book jacket. Paint the cover. Foil the cover. Doodle in the margins. Etc. You just have to alter it someway. 4y

LibrarianRyan Any questions whatsoever, just ask. (edited) 4y

wanderinglynn Sounds awesome! 🙌🏻 4y

sharread This sounds fun! 4y

Laughterhp I feel like I‘m not creative enough for this 😬😬 4y

sprainedbrain Very cool! The kiddo and I are signed up. 🎃 (edited) 4y

LibrarianRyan @Laughterhp I don‘t believe that at all. 4y

Sweetkokoro I love that it‘s one book and that‘s it as I haven‘t been able to join any swaps because it‘s hasn‘t been feasible for me with the pandemic, but the altered bit worries me. Will there be a way to state what kind of alter we don‘t want? Like I absolutely loath writing/doodle in a book. 4y

LibrarianRyan @Sweetkokoro I didn‘t include that in the registration, but you could put it in the notes section and I would add it to what is sent to your match. 4y

WanderingBookaneer I am both intrigued and apprehensive, but I have an idea of what I‘d do with my book. Thanks for thinking of me! This sounds so cool. 4y

MatchlessMarie Can you confirm that you got my form? I signed up this morning but didn‘t get an email back. Same thing happened with another swap I signed up for. Thanks! 3y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I too am anxiously awaiting all the halloween swaps! @MaleficentBookDragon has hosted #AllHallowsReadSwap in the past & @LibrarianRyan has done a #NightmareSwap . Not sure if they are again, but they're good swap hosts/Littens to follow. Bring on Spooky Season! 🕸👻😁 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @sprainedbrain yes! 🕸🐱🔮 4y

MaleficentBookDragon I‘ll be doing sign ups for the #allhallowsreadswap at the end of the month. 4y

LibrarianRyan @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I can not decide if I want to do a nightmare swap or a makers swap. What are your thoughts. 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @LibrarianRyan 🤔 I'd be into a nightmare swap. I'm not terribly crafty unfortunately. But I'm sure the Littens would love whatever you decide to do. 4y

Littlewolf1 @jenniferw88 @wanderinglynn @sprainedbrain @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @MaleficentBookDragon @LibrarianRyan thank you all so much… I‘m looking forward to getting the chance to participate this year 👻 4y

jenniferw88 @sprainedbrain 🎉🎉🎉! I'm only going to do one Halloween swap this year, and as I'm REALLY getting into the witchy spirit, I'm pretty sure it's going to be yours - sorry @wanderinglynn ! 4y

Littlewolf1 @jenniferw88 I keep missing them every year so I think I‘m gonna go for all of them… Next year I might dwindle down 4y

sprainedbrain @jenniferw88 I‘m determined to get you a really good match this time, my friend! ❤️ 4y

Littlewolf1 @ferskner @Avanders @Chrissyreadit Are you guys hosting the #CozySwap this year? (edited) 4y

Avanders Oh I‘m sorry — I hosted my old falling for fall swap instead this year — super early! I had sign ups last month… but I think @wanderinglynn ‘s will have a non-scary option if you wanted to focus on fall and cozies ☺️ 4y

Avanders (Though if @ferskner and @Chrissyreadit do the #cozyswap again this year, I‘m all about signing up for that!!) 4y

ferskner I've had a doozy of a summer so the #cozyswap wasn't on my mind at all. I'm sorry you're missing it this year, @Littlewolf1! @Avanders @Chrissyreadit 4y

Chrissyreadit @ferskner @Avanders @Littlewolf1 this fall I am also just wanting to join a swap vs organize a swap….. 4y

alisiakae So I just started a hashtag to help people find all the fall/Halloween stuff going on this year! #AVeryLitsyHalloween 4y

Littlewolf1 @4thhouseontheleft that‘s brilliant, thank you 4y

Scream All Night | Derek Milman

so-so

Dario goes back to Moldavia Studios to assist to a "mysterious ceremony", a tribute to his father. That day things got complicated. Between filming horror movies, Dario will learn about his past, parents & will discover himself. Book has dark, morbid humor but also sad ones. It didn't work for me because I was expecting something else but it is cute with a meaningful ending. Maybe I need to re-read it later. #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Gissy #Scalathon2020 #TeamHarkness @StayCurious #OutstandingOctober Readathon @Andrew65 8 hours 38 minutes=80 points + 1 point for post 4y

Andrew65 Great 👏👏👏 4y

Gissy This book was given to me by @JoScho last year in #NightmareSwap Thank you! This one was in my wish list and I'm glad I received it🤗🖤🖤🖤 4y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4y
