Reading & Gushing This Halloween
October...
Leaves are changing...
The holiday season kicks off with a spectacular show of Halloween, so of course, we are taking part!
We spent a ton of time on these this month, and hope you'll be able to join us throughout the entire month. But know that we are relaxed, pop in and out as you can. Just be sure to use our hashtag so we can find you. We will be trying to squeeze in a ton of shout outs and pour love on you all during the month too.
All of the prompts are detailed below, so if the vague prompts on the image brought you here, your answers will be found! If not, shoot me a message, I'm always around for my lovely bibliognosts.
Oh, and we have a new co-host this month. While we love Megan, she is busy with her family right now, so the amazing Kylie is going to join us. I hope you will all welcome her this month.
I hope you will join in... just follow me on Instagram and check it out!
