Wow! That is a lot of books hehe I have barely read like 5 this month so far I think :D

Good job!

Thanks Tricia. Many of the ones shown are children's books. I was doing a reading page count challenge in another group and you got double credit for your pages if it was a Halloween themed book. When I was finished with that, I was surprised to see how many fit here.

Thanks, Tricia. I've dropped The Graveyard Book from my list b/c things have gotten crazy 'round here and not many chances to read at the moment. But, I did finish the others. Great challenge, thanks. Halloween is favorite holiday, so it was fun fitting it into the theme of the challenge. :)

THEME:
Vamps - High Stakes ★★★★ 10/10/09

Weres - Frostbitten ★★★★ 03/10/09

Witches - Girl's Guide to Witchcraft ★★★★ 22/10/09

Ghouls - Peeps ★★★ 24/10/09 (I picked this one b/c the description states "...ravening ghouls Cal calls Peeps...", otherwise I wouldn't classify this as a book w/"ghouls", closer to monster or vampire. Oh well, it was a decent read tho)

COVER:
Orange - Nightkeepers ★★★★ 17/10/09

Orange + Costume - Girl's Guide to Witchcraft ★★★★ 22/10/09
