A tablet lies on dry grass and surrounded by dandelions in a natural outdoor setting. The screen displays the cover of the book Everybody Is in the Place by Emma J. Gibbon. The cover features a colorful, fantastical illustration of a female figure with glowing eyes and curved horns, holding something mysterious in her hands. Stars and swirling cosmic elements fill the background, giving the cover a magical and otherworldly feel. The title text is in bold, colorful letters across the top and middle, with the author's name at the bottom.

Book Blogger Hop October Edition Graphic

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.

For this week’s Book Blogger Hop, Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer asks:

Name one book that gets you in the mood for Halloween. 

BBH My Answer

I don’t have a specific book that get’s me in the mood for Halloween, but I would love to find one that I read every October! One comic that I have read two Halloween’s running is Our Final Halloween.

Our Final Halloween book 1 of 4 photo

When I was a kid, I definitely read the same picture books every year! Here is one of my favorites:

  • Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman, illustrated by S.D. Schindler

As an adult, I tend to just focus in on thrillers, suspense, or horror reads during October to get into the spooky mood!

Thanks for reading!
Do you have any books you enjoy reaching each Halloween?

    That is a fun tradition to read the same book.

    Big Pumpkin sounds cute.

    Thrillers and suspense are great ways to get into the spooky season.

    Enjoy this upcoming week.

    I don’t really have any specific books I read for Halloween, but I love suspense and thrillers (maybe with some paranormal too haha) at this time of year.

      Oooh! A suspenseful paranormal read would be right up my alley! I’ll have to keep an eye out for something like that. 🙂

    Our Final Halloween sounds so good! Usually any book that has a spooky vibe to it will get me in the mood for Halloween. Especially vampire novels. 🙂

    Like you I don’t have a specific book, just genres I prefer. Now when it comes to TV, we have to watch It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown every year. Even the pups got into the tradition.

    I don’t have a set book I read every Halloween, but I do try and fit in some spooky/mystery/thriller type of reads.

    I always try to read stuff with a thriller, apocalypse or horror vibe in it every October-though I’m a bit behind on that this year!
