Hi Munchworms!
This week’s topic for The Broke and the Bookish‘s Top Ten Tuesday is a Halloween freebie! Honestly, I’ve been thinking quite a bit on this one. Finding a way to give my own spin to it.
I contemplated a post of my Stephen King-TBR, but that felt.. boring? Okay, no. TBR’s are never boring but. You get the gist? I hope. Then I thought of Pumpkin-covers, but I have a feeling that I’ll be seeing a lot of those already! If not, let’s just use this moment to curse myself for not going with it.
And then I thought.. Costumes! Magical creatures! Vampires; werewolves and witches!
Yes, I know. There’ll be tons of those too but… Humor me?
VAMPIRES
So, the first one is the cover I own. And I just discovered now that I like a lot of the other covers better. The second one really does give a fall-vibe as well, doesn’t it?
I’ve been “currently reading” this one for months now.. Need to finish it during Remember November..
Another one of my “currently reading” – I’m a vampire-disaster? – and again, loads of different covers! Have to say that I like the rose-ones.
The House of Night series are definitely worth mentioning here as well! It’s been ages since I read those books – pretty sure I haven’t read a couple of them yet – but I always enjoyed them!
WEREWOLVES
I bought the first three books in a box a while ago. Then I found out that there’s a fourth book and.. Well, I’ve been giving these the stink-eye ever since because I refuse to read them before I get my hands on the last one! Or is that a bit petty of me?
Another one I’m missing some installments of. I bought the first and fourth installment at a book fair but have yet to get my hands on the other ones, haha.
Loved these! Definitely need to reread them one day because it’s been a while…
WITCHES
Witches, wizards and any other kind of magical power! Love, love and love!
So, what Halloween-ish theme did you pick for today’s TTT?
Don’t forget to sign up for Remember November!
And TODAY is the LAST DAY to fill in the form for the Christmas Card Exchange!
Great list! That fall Dracula cover is really pretty!

I’d definitely have read your Stephen King TBR 😀 Love this idea though, so many great sounding books for me to check out and I really would love to read The Night Circus again.

Haha, off the top of my head I know that Carrie, Insomnia, Doctor Sleep, Under the Dome, IT, The Green Mile, On Writing and Sleeping Beauties are on there. :p
Thank you!
The Night Circus is definitely one that I’ll be rereading next year. It’s an amazing book! Might make it my fixed yearly read as well.. Why not. 😀

Some good choices there 🙂 The only one I haven’t read is Insomnia and that’s on my TBR list. Someone recommended Lisey’s Story recently as well, which is one I don’t know much about.

I haven’t even heard of that one yet. I’m going to try and not add any more to my King-TBR though. Want to read those books first, haha. 🙂

Is Mary Poppins a witch? I’ve never read the book, only the movie. Great list!

Haha, I was thinking “she does things that normal people can’t. It’s magic. She has to be a witch.” and put it on there.
Thank you! 😀

Okay, so I haven’t read a lot of these (but I have read a lot of Anne Rice…so for every category I was coming up with books Werewolves – Wolf’s Gift series, Witches – her Mayfair witches series lol… but the Vampire Chronicles and especially Interview with the Vampire are my forever favourite; so glad to see it listed here). Great seeing all the covers you posted; it really is a form of art, open to each artist’s interpretation. Anyway, love the visuals…hmmm never thought of Mary Poppins as a witch but I guess she sort of is, isn’t she?
For my Top Ten, I went with King stories read or seen: https://jhohadli.wordpress.com/2017/10/31/favourite-stephen-king-books-or-films

Interview with the Vampire has been on my “Currently Reading” for ages now. I couldn’t seem to get into it so I put it aside. Definitely need to pick it up again this month..
Thank you! I really loved checking out all the different covers. I rarely do that but I think I’ll be doing it more often, haha.
I know! When it comes to Mary Poppins I just went “she does things normal people can’t.. she has to be a witch?! How else are we going to explain her..” and I just put her on there as well, haha.

I really enjoyed The House of Night series when I read it. I don’t think it would stand up to a reread though. Love your witches selection, I need to try some of those out.

I think I’ll reread them one day, but more because I’m missing the final books so I’m thinking a complete reread would be in order if I ever want to read those as well.
Thank you!

I read Dracula back in high school. We were supposed to pick a book with ‘teen problems’ and I convinced my English teacher that being the guest of a vampire constituted a problem. She humored me. 😀 Also, love Interview with the Vampire. Some of the rest of that series are pretty meh, but Interview is wonderful!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

Witches and Fae are my downfall lately, haha. It used to be vampires, but there honestly are not that much new vampire books out there lately?
I haven’t read any of Pullman’s work yet, but I do own some.. Someday, haha. :’)

That’s such a common thing, isn’t it? Knowing you loved something back then and not being sure how you’d feel about it now?
I’m always scared to reread books like that because I don’t want to pop my own bubble about them being amazing books, haha.
Thank you! You too! 🙂
