Spooky Scary Book Tag
Thanks so much to Twirling Merry Book Princess for the tag! Check out their answers here and also the original creator of the tag Shelby Masako. I'm tagging anyone who wants to give it a try.
What Goes Bump in the Night? Name a book that legitimately scared you while reading it
Nightbooks by J.A. White. This was extremely creepy and even the film adaptation was good!
Jack-o’-Lanterns & Classic Costumes: A book you always reach for during Halloween time
I don't re-read much so I don't really have one but if I have to pick I would say some of my spooky graphic novels.
Black Cats & Magic Mirrors: A book you love that is laced with superstition and/or magic
Threadneedle by Cari Thomas was absolutely full of superstition AND magic!
Witch’s Brew: Favourite witch character in any book/series
I was thinking and thinking of all the many witches in many books but when I thought of this there was no doubt of my favourite! Mildred Hubble from The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy
Ghouls & Ghosts: A book that still haunts you to this day (good or bad)
I read Marianne Dreams by Catherine Storr as a child and never forgot it. I was so happy to find an old library copy being sold and snapped it up.
Haunted Graveyard: You’re all alone in a haunted graveyard; you get one book to give you comfort. Which is it?
Mort by Terry Pratchett was the first Discworld book I read and its one of few books that I have re-read many times. I think it's probably my favourite of the series.
The Undead: Favourite supernatural creatures to read about
This has to be ghosts, I've really enjoyed lots of spooky ghostly books recently and I love that there are so many types. They can be good, evil, misunderstood and anything in between!
In the Dead of Night: Pick a book with a black cover
I have to say this is quite a common colour for my creepy books but I've chosen The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane by Julia Nobel for this one.
Ohhh! Yes, I love seeing this one here! Happy Halloween! I love love your answers and agree with so many of them. Thr GNs you mentioned are some of my favs, Mort was just so much fun and haha now I want to read it again! And that Night books cover is stunning, and now I want to read it. 🎃👻
