AH! So excited to be tagged for Halloween Creatures 2.0 Tag in #blogoween! Thanks to Patricia (or should I say “Bat-tricia“?) over at Bookish Geek for tagging me.
If you’re not familiar, Blogoween is month-long blog event hosted by several different bloggers across the blogosphere with a month of prompts specifically celebrating Halloween and fall. There are three tiers to sign up under, and you can check it out here if you’re interesting in learning more.
Witch : a magical character or book
Mildred Hubble from The Worst Witch series of books is the first most magical character that comes to mind for me.
Werewolf: a perfect book to read at night
Frankenstein: a book that truly shocked you
Shoot the Messenger, for the same reasons that Kesh is the person I chose for the Skeleton category for someone I have a bone to pick with. BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER AND I JUST ABOUT PEED MY PANTS.
The Devil: a dark, evil character
Grim Reaper: a character that never should have died
No spoilers, but if you’ve read Arrows Fall by Mercedes Lackey, then you know.
Zombie: a book that made you “hungry” for more
Gargoyle: a character that you would protect at all costs
Any MC written by Sally Thorne.
Vampire: a book that sucked the life out of you
Ghost: a book that still haunts you
I am haunted by the friendly ghost of Anne of Green Gables. It speaks to me and sometimes random quotes and things come out, and nobody knows what I’m talking about. I suppose there are worse things than to be haunted by the spirit of Anne Shirley. (Boy, she’d sure like to think of her spirit haunting someone long after she’s gone, giving them romantical ideas and suggesting ridiculous names for things. Imagine the scope for the imagination!)
Demon: a book that really scared you
Skeleton: a character you have a bone to pick with
Kesh Lasota from Pippa DaCosta’s Shoot the Messenger. Such utter and total BETRAYAL!
Mummy: a book you would preserve throughout time
Creepy doll: a cover too scary to look at
Nope, sorry, I don’t do horror and if the cover is too scary to look at, I’m not looking at it. My Halloween is strictly lil’ round ghosties, happy smiling pumpkins, and candy corn witches. I don’t do the horror gore thrill factor, kthxbye.

Aw, thanks so much for tagging me! I am doing Blogoween, so I need to do this tag. How fun! I didn't like Grapes of Wrath either. LOL I had to read it for school TWICE! Ugh. I want to read Into the Drowning Deep, so I'm glad to see you enjoyed that one.-Laurenwww.shootingstarsmag.net
