I won‘t be here for Christmas so I haven‘t put up a tree but I did make a light up garland one for the wall🎄
#WinterGames daily photo challenge
#GingerbreadGems
💚 Terry‘s Chocolate orange but I also love ginger snaps. Peppermint bark too!
❤️Christmas movie marathons
💚 I like the games
❤️ Oh there‘s a lot, half the year is winter😂 Maybe snowmobiling or going to the sugar bush every year. For some reason I have a lot of fun memories of jumping into snowbanks.

Hi! Holy s#!¥ it‘s been a minute. I actually lost access to my account for awhile as it wouldn‘t recognize my email✌? Last year was crazy and this year has been doubly so. I feel like I always manage to pop back up around Halloween and Christmas lol. I‘m now 10 months behind on posting what I‘ve been reading for #ReadSpooky2023 ??♀️
Like a lot of horror, it starts off strong and then fizzles a bit at the end. Build up is great, took me a minute to get into the writing style but I love how a mundane scene is being described and then the last sentence or last few words reveals it isn‘t at all ordinary. It makes for an eerie first half. Solid three star read. If you like reading ghost stories, I do recommend it. #ReadSpooky2023
I didn‘t read much last year but my favorite thing was #ReadSpooky2022 and having a list to fall back on. So I‘m doing it again, this time with prompts. #ReadSpooky2023
It‘s also on Storygraph as a challenge if anyone wants to join:

I can‘t believe it‘s the end of the year already, ugh. I don‘t think my goals change much each year but in 2023, I definitely need to double down on finishing the 20+ books I have half-read. And since I‘ve been kinda MIA and haven‘t logged/reviewed much in 2022, I need to spend time updating StoryGraph, Litsy, etc. with what books I‘ve read. #readinggoals

Back for another year! 👻This one will be short and sweet (one book, one goodie, one food/drink item)

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃💀 Halloween - New Years is always my most active reading time so I should be more present here, especially since #CreepyChristmas news is coming soon 🤫
Apparently I haven‘t posted here in 6 months… what?! Where has the time gone? This year is kicking my butt. I have a stack of books I need to actually log and review and an even larger stack I need to finish reading but I don‘t feel like doing that so here‘s a procrastination project I did: alphabetical section markers for my bookshelf.
For anyone following along with the official list, this is up next for #ReadSpooky2022
And since I‘ve finally got my StoryGraph account organized, I‘ve made a challenge there for this: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/5fc84614-830d-4ae9-b41e-629547e...
A kind of haunted house story with a twist. Good enough that I kept reading it because I wanted to know what happens, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a haunted house story but it‘s by no means a masterpiece. You never quite forget that you‘re reading a YA novel. #ReadSpooky2022
January TBR ❄️ Not seen here is Pinocchio for #ChildrensClassicRead2022 and omnibus 2 of Harrow Country.
Used my Tim Burton deck to pull my first two picks for #TBRDeckofCards 👻
7♣️ is the tagged book
J♦️ is the prompt Music, for which I chose The Chimes (tagged below) since it‘s one of the books on my Unfinished List.
As mentioned, I‘m setting a casual horror challenge for myself but I figured if anyone wanted to join yet another challenge for 2022:
Have a spooky year by reading at least one horror book per month. Follow the provided list or make your own! Nothing is mandatory, participate whenever and however you‘d like. If you want to read more per month or only join for one month, go for it. #ReadSpooky2022
My books for #Roll100 this month. I only signed up for 1 number but I may try to do both anyway.
While I was finishing my list for #Roll100, I also decided I‘m going to do #TBRDeckofCards, and probably set my own horror challenge for myself.
In doing these, I discovered I have enough TBR books to cover all three challenges and a separate TBR without cross listing anything 😅
Lol it‘s 11pm and NOW I‘m working on items for the new year. I don‘t usually do life resolutions but I do have reading goals:
⭐️ Instead of aiming for a set # of books, I just want to read more. Even if it‘s just a chapter a day.
⭐️ Finish most of the 27+ books on my “unfinished” list.
⭐️ Read from my TBR list, focusing on books I own.
⭐️ This is more an unofficial goal but I want to finish reading all of Ania Ahlborn‘s books.
Thank you @DinoMom for the wonderful gifts, I adore them all. I‘m losing it a little at the Christmas Dino, I love him. Those wax seal stickers are really cool, and that bookmark! 💚 and it was a genius idea to put it all in a cushion cover! #StockingSwap #PoutinePenPals
Merry Christmas to everyone from Gambit and I! 🎄 I hope you‘re all having an enjoyable holiday with time to relax!
Gambit wanted to be included while I was taking photos with my mom and sister, so I managed to get my annual Christmas photo with him 😆 It was slow but busy day for us so we‘re just now winding down in preparation for our big meal tomorrow.

A quick reminder that today is opening day for #CreepyChristmas! 💀 I‘m seeing the tags from those who have already opened and I can‘t wait to look through them more tonight. I love seeing the creepy and fun things you all gift.
I‘ve been in contact with anyone who has delayed packages so everyone should be up to date. If there‘s any updates that have been missed or any issues, please let me know!
Mailed the #PoutinePenPals #StockingSwap earlier today! I was told it‘d be there by the 20th at the latest. 🎁🎄
It‘s heeere! 🎄it‘s under the mini tree in my office for safekeeping. #PoutinePenPals #StockingSwap @DinoMom
@StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I‘m sending mine off today.
I love a spooky story so this was by far my favourite question from last year‘s #CreepyChristmas so I‘m bringing it back! Whether you‘re in the swap or not, feel free to share a story.
