BOOO!

Happy Spooktober! IT is here! The time is finally for all the spooky books!

As with each year it was SO hard not to just read them especially since I have been in a spooky mood the whole year! I had to tell my body, no you cannot read them yet, which led to a few small slumps which thankfully were solved by reading some manga/manwha. I am so happy that I can now finally read these books!

Plus, this year I also got ComicsPlus, which means there are several spooky graphic novels on the list as well. I am also still looking around for more spooky manga, hopefully I can find some good ones, maybe with urban legends or zombies.

I am very excited about both my physical stack and my Kindle/ComicsPlus because BOY there are some amazing books on there. I am not sure which I will read first, haha, that is always a tricky one each year, I will just see what my mood wants and go from there. I at least got plenty of choices so that is nice. I may even have a bit too much. But better too much and not read all of them than have too little and having to hunt around. I also have some other books on the way that I hope get here in time. Crossing fingers!

What books are you reading this Spooktober? Any recommendations?
