5 Young Adult Halloween Book Recs

Hello! Halloween is just around the corner and I’m looking forward to it! My hopes for this Halloween will be to stay at home, watch a movie, and maybe walk around the town a little in my Kawaii Bear onesie.

Halloween-time is always the time where I wish there were more creepy books. And there are books that I’ve always wished for, yet they never seem to arrive. The books that I end up reading are books that more often than not, fail to scare me. I’ll admit I’ve been scared before yet I’ve only been scared a few times with either the legitimate “creep-factor,” or when I’ve been scared out of my wits. The kicker of me being scared though, is that the Horror themed books that usually end up scaring me are not Young Adult (YA) books. They’re usually Fiction books. All the YA books that I’ve read aren’t very scary.

Here are 5 Young Adult books that creeped me out! And they’ve crept me out, so you know that means that they’re at least a smidge’ scary. I’m numbering these books from 1 – 5, 5 being the most scary. Good luck!

Book Theme Songs | Top 5 Wednesday #18

Hello lovelies! Today’s post is about Book Theme Songs. More specifically, “Songs you associate with different books, whether it’s because of the lyrics matching the story, the tone fits the story, or just because you listened to it a lot while reading that particular book!” so this is what I’m here to do!

This post will include spoilers for the following books: Zodiac by Romina Russell, The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco, Heir of Fire & Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, in that order. 

Library Reads | #2

Here I document (in my own way) what I get out form the library and what my thoughts are about the books, before I actually read the books.

Lets see what I have out from the library now, shall we? I currently have out:

The Brilliant Light of Amber Sunrise by Matthew Crow
I requested this book from the library purely because I saw a picture of the book spine here on tumblr and thought it was really pretty. When I got the book though, there was a quotes on the back of the book that really sets the theme for the book. Here’s the quote: “’Do you know about the best thing about the stars?’ ‘What?’ ‘They’re all dead, but we can still see them. When we look up it’s like we’re looking at a million different memories, a million different versions of something that used to be. That’s not romantic, either; it’s just science.’ ‘It’s a bit romantic,’ I tried to argue. ‘No, it’s not,’ she said, ‘It’s real, and that’s what’s important.’” That just really set the tone of the book for me, so I’m really excited to read this novel.

Hello! I had a great October. Did you? A lot happened; reading wise, in October. I managed to read 13 books. This is what I read last month:

The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco | Book Review #3

‘You may think me biased, being murdered myself. But my state of being has nothing to do with the curiosity toward my own species, if we can be called such. We do not go gentle, as your poet encourages, into that good night.
