| Trick or Treat! |
As you can see, my cauldron of Halloween candy for the trick-or-treaters is disappearing fast. A week ago, it was full, and I've actually added more to it since then. Ha! What can I say? I have no will power October through December. Are you ready for Halloween?
There are several blog hops going on right now, and I'd like to highlight one that I just discovered yesterday. It's The Literary Blog Hop hosted by Judith @ Leeswammes' Blog. I've discovered some great new-to-me blogs, and there are plenty of bookish prizes up for grabs. Check it out!
New arrivals this week:
- The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty (Checked out from the library - I'm so excited to get this one! I've always had a fascination with Louise Brooks and the actors from 1920s Hollywood. This one is getting moved to the top of my TBR pile.)
- The Medium by C.J. Archer (Kindle Freebie)
- In the Shadow of Lions: A Novel of Anne Boleyn by Ginger Garrett (Kindle Freebie)
What are your plans this week? Can you believe November is just days away?

Hi Diana,
ReplyDeleteI like your selection of new books this week, they are all so diverse in genre and there are some excellent cover images also, although I think that my favourite image comes from 'The Chaperone'.
I can't say that I shall be rushing to add any of them to my reading list, although I read from such a diverse range of genres, that if they landed in my mailbox, I would certainly schedule them all into my reading.
Your bucket of sweets looks very tempting, I can see just how your willpower deserts you!
Thanks for sharing,
Yvonne
Trick or Treat!! Aww, I don't blame you for eating the candy :)
ReplyDeleteSweet haul..and I do not buy Halloween candy till the day before..since my peeps are like you, then i buy stuff I do not like..hahaha! Thanks for sharing your news on The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteMmm, I would have been in that cauldron of candy all week
ReplyDeleteI have not will power either. That's probably why I don't buy any candy till a few days before. :) .. Nice haul.. Happy reading..

I have to hide the candy until Halloween - otherwise my husband eats it all!
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for stopping by my blog!

We don't buy Halloween candy until a couple of days before because we can't leave it alone! It is supposed to be terrible weather here for Trick or Treat. Ginger Garrett's books are always so good.
ReplyDeleteI saw quite a few types of candy that I'd love to have. And will be making a few stops for the after Halloween mark down :)
ReplyDeleteAnd hoping that Sandy won't hit us like they are predicting.
Stay safe all
Great haul! I have heard that The Chaperone is really good.
ReplyDeleteI had to hide our Halloween candy so that I don't get into it before Wednesday. If I didn't, it would be gone!
The Chaperone is so good! I don't have any willpower either - that's why I buy Halloween candy I don't like.
ReplyDeleteYAY for Halloween candy. Congrats on not eating it all yourself. All of these books are new to me. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM & SP.

Happy almost Halloween! That candy does get tempting doesn't it? Hope you enjoy The Chaperone- I hear it's quite good.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all your books. The Chaperone is the book I am familiar with - the other two are new to me.
ReplyDeleteThankfully our trick or treat time was yesterday afternoon. It's all out of my house, TG!
ReplyDeleteI really liked The Chaperone. Hope you enjoy it.
I am ready for Trick or Treat and have been dipping into the candy stash as well.
ReplyDeleteOur Halloween Night has been postponed because of Hurricane Sandy, though. Not sure when it will be.
I like THE CHAPERONE...looks good...enjoy them all and your candy. :)

I already had The Chaperone on my list but the last two look really good too. Think I'll have to add those as well. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...Halloween candy! Another reason to love the season. It feels like the leaves just started turning, and here we are with Thanksgiving in the not-so-distant future. Scary!
ReplyDeleteI love candy!No I can't believe November is days away...2012 has flown by and I'm looking forward to the holidays this year. Fun, friends, and family times.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books. All of the covers are awesome. And Kindle freebie...glad I don't have a Kindle. More books to horde :)
The Anne Boleyn book should be very interesting...
