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
Werewolf: a perfect book to read at night
As a mom of a couple of small goblins, most of my perfect books to read at night are books I read with them. A favorite of ours for this time of year is Little Boo. It's about a pumpkin seed who wants so badly to be grow up to be spooky, and it's basically the perfect bedtime story for Halloween.
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
...George R. R. Martin.
Grim Reaper: a character that never should have died
Zombie: a book that made you "hungry" for more
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant. I need more killer mermaids, please. Now please. *grabby hands*
"The seas did not forgive, and they did not welcome their wayward children home."
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
The Grapes of Wrath, because someone forced me to read it and that's all it's good for - sucking life.
Ghost: a book that still haunts you
Demon: a book that really scared you
Honestly, I don't know if there is one. I don't go in for horror much, and when I do it tends to be stuff I like and an acceptable level of scare-ability... Even Into the Drowning Deep was more like "cooooool!" than "AHHHHH!"
Skeleton: a character you have a bone to pick with
Mummy: a book you would preserve throughout time
Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand forever, even if other people don't understand my love of this play.
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.The Monster Mash!
It's fun to be with friends on Halloween!
Tag your friends!

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.
