As October arrived this year, I actually had a little more time than usual (that *never* happens) so I decided to spend it doing one of the things I love most–reading. I also happen to love doing reading challenges, like the ones on GoodReads. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, you can check out the ones I’m currently doing (hopefully you can see these threads without being members of the groups, if you’re not):
Read the Month
October Monthly Challenge
This explanation is a long way to get to saying that I’m reading some Halloween (and related) themed books right now (for the challenges).
First, I read Halloween Heat VI, an anthology which includes Mina Carter. I’ve read and enjoyed several of her books and the story she had in this anthology was equally good. I also enjoyed the other stories and found some new writers to check out.
Second, I’m currently reading Wickedest Witch by Eve Langlais, a fun romp about a cranky, curvy witch and a werewolf who totally adores her (and won’t take any of her guff). Excellent book. (Although as I was writing this, I realized the book doesn’t take place at Halloween so it’s not Halloween themed, even if the cover does kind of look like it.)
Have you read any Halloween themed books this year or in the past? Any of them you’d like to recommend?
In December, I’ll have an all-new BBW billionaire romantic suspense novella in an anthology of BBW romances put together by the Curvy Girls Romance Facebook group. If you’d like to find out the details when the anthology is closer to release, just sign up for my newsletter. As a bonus, signing up will also qualify you for five entries into my hop giveaway! (Just make sure to check that spot in the rafflecopter.)

My favorite Halloween read is Stephen King’s IT.

I’ve been reading a bunch of cozy mysteries set around Halloween. The Diva Haunts the House by Krista Davis and A catered Halloween by Isis Crawford were good.
I don’t think I’ve really read any Halloween specific themed books, but I love paranormal books. I also like Harry Potter (that counts as Halloween, right? It’s full of witches and wizards).
I’ve not read any Halloween specific books, but I LOVE paranormal books. I have a verity of authors and series I enjoy. Now that it is Fall going into Winter I have more time to read and enjoy all the books I pick up. Thank you for the giveaway.
I don’t usually read spooky books at Halloween, but I do love reading them throughout the year. Especially Stephen King books.

Thanks for the giveaway, happy Halloween! My email address is allyswanson@hotmail.com.
Thank you for the recommendations. 🙂
I have not read any this year and none that really come to mind at the moment. I am not that big of a holiday reader, though I love Paranormal, so I have read many that are a little spooky or disturbing. I love Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series and her Arcana Chronicles.
I also love Tigris Eden’s Shadow Unit series, which features and array of characters. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your reading and for the giveaway. I haven’t read any scary books this year. I need to get in two books before the end of the year. I’ll check out Halloween Heat VI.
Happy Halloween.
Thanks for the chance!
