Welcome to the 5th Annual Spooktacular Giveaway Hop, hosted by I am a Reader, Not a Writer!
The spooks are back in town. Pumpkins are everywhere and Halloween candy is filling the store shelves.
We’re in a new apartment this year, so we wonder whether we will get trick-or-treaters. We also wonder whether or not our lack of knowledge in this area will affect our purchases of Halloween candy! (There are no calories in those little, teeny, tiny chocolate bars, are there?)
My Halloween book this year is going to be Duck, Duck Ghost by Rhys Ford. At first, I was planning to review it earlier, but when the doll heads tried to smother one of the heroes, my creepy meter went off the scale.
Attack of the Killer Baby Dolls! Doesn’t that sound like a terrific title for a scary movie?
In honor (or memorial, or creep-festing) of Halloween, I will be giving away a $10 Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift card (winner’s choice) to one lucky entrant.
May all your reads be haunting, whether in a spooky way or not!

favorite scary book is It by Stephen King
I can’t do hardcore horror, but I loved The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson. Also, Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter was one that freaked me out, which was unexpected because she writes funny YA spy novels.
I don’t like scary movies or books. The only scary thing in a book I can think of is the vampires in Christine Feehan’s Dark Series books. They are nasty 😉
