So Halloween is coming up and have probably guessed by the title of the post that it is my favorite holiday. The only problem this year is that I have mid-terms the day after Halloween and I feel....as if, well... look at the face of the day for more details. Blogger is still being weird and I wonder if this will continue. Maybe I should just get an actual blog with my own website. So I have been reading a bunch of books that are very dark themed to get me in the mood for Halloween. Such as A Midsummer Night's Scream by R.L. Stein (still reading), Rags and Bones- New Twists on Timeless tales Edited by Melissa Marr and Tim Pratt (various authors, just finished), My Pet Virus by Shawn Decker (just finished), and Days of Blood and Starlight (still reading...)
Rags and Bones 4.3/5
Loved, Loved, LOVED this collection of short stories. This book has updated timeless (grim and ghoulish) stories and turned them into a futuristic setting. I can't really say a lot about it because of the fact that there are so many stories. This was definitely a mixed book there were many that I loved (Carrie Ryan's, Neil Gaiman's, Holly Black's, and Rick Yancey's just to name a few), and some that were just ok. Definitely suggest people to read it!
My Pet Virus 4/5
This memoir is by Shawn Decker who was born with Hemophilia but because of improper screening of blood (this was in the 80's) contracted HIV at age 11. The book covers his life with off beat humor and an interesting insight to how it HIV and AIDs effects more people than we commonly think. This book was a quick read (took me all of a day) and is just an interesting read.
Face of the day....
