Welcome to the October 2016 New Release Giveaway Hop! Which, incidentally, I host now.
I will be giving away any October 2016 new release of your choice, up to $17. The giveaway is international, as long as The Book Depository ships there free of charge (find that out here!) Oh, and if you are a US winner, I will most likely ship from Amazon- because it will be there for you sooner!) If you prefer, I will send a Kindle edition via Amazon gift. (Please note: You may only chose ONE of these options!)
And now, the books! Such a good book month this month, eep!
Quite a few of these are on my TBR- and I have also read a lot of them! Reviews are coming, if you haven’t seen them yet- but I can vouch for really enjoying The Weight of Zero, Fear the Drowning Deep, Disruption, Iron Cast, The Daemoniac, Blood Red Snow White, and A Darkly Beating Heart!
And if I don’t get to a few of these soon, I may explode with anticipation!
Nothing to do with Halloween over here but I do love me some coconut candy.
Happy Halloween anyway.
unfortunately i do not celebrate halloween
I don’t have any Halloween plans and have never done a bookish costume :-/ But my favorite Halloween candy was always Tootsie Rolls! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
For the past couple of years I’ve been going trick or treating with my niece, its fun, I get to dress up, I stopped trick or treating w hen I was like 10 so its fun to get to do it again. I haven’t done a book themed costume, I didn’t think of that, i’ll have to keep that in mind, thank you so much for this opportunity
In our country people don’t celebrate Halloween… but I do, wholeheartedly! 😀 This year I’ll just decorate my home with pumpkins and make/eat a lot of pumpkin-related food. 😀 Most importantly, I already started reading for my “spooky marathon”. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I don’t do Halloween, so no special plans.
I love marshmallows and chocolate! Especially when the two are combined! Thank you for the giveaway!
We will be in DIsney when it is all done up for Halloween but are not doing anything special on the actual day. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
We will be taking the boys around the neighborhood. The last time we dressed up with the kids we were Poison Ivy and The Joker. The kids got a kick out of it!
Oh geez, I am going to totally bomb this question because #1 I don’t do anything for Halloween (no kids and actually even as a kid I never really got into it) and #2 I don’t have a fave candy because I have no sweet tooth. How’s that for a totally boring answer? But I can tell you that my favorite rootbeer is IBC. Does that count for anything? Bahaha.
I take my 3 kids trick or treating.
Yay Halloween! We’re allowed to dress up at work, which is awesome, because I’m going to go as a Ghost Writer (you know, white makeup on face, white sheet over body, quill pen. 🙂
Halloween used to be more popular where I live when I was younger but if I did celebrate I’d love to dress as a bookish character. Maybe someone from Harry Potter.
No, I don’t dress up. I have fun going with my kids in the past and then passing out candy. Now I will go with my granddaughter so I am looking forward to that. Favorite candy are those candy cigarettes. I know they are bad for you but I love how they melt in your mouth.
My daughter wants to go as Luna Lovegood this year, so we are currently negotiating how much we will buy vs. make/improvise. Of course, it’s hard to do HP costumes without focusing on the movie images instead of the book…
I have no idea what to be for Halloween. But I love chocolate. 🙂
Any dark chocolate for me (though on Halloween, I’ll settle for Snickers happily)!
The closest I got to a bookish costume is when I dressed as Laura Ingalls for Halloween.
I’m not into Halloween, but I do like some candy. Reece’s Peanut Butter cups are probably my favorite. So good.

I’d love to do a bookish costume, but I don’t really dress up anymore. I’m a stuck-in-the-mud like that. 🙂
I have no plans yet
I don’t do Halloween but I love all the chocolate candy that floats around this time of year.
No Halloween here, but anything chocolate is always a favourite.
My friend proposed that we have a Halloween Party this year. I asked which cemetery are we going to traipse through this time. XD
Haven’t really started on Halloween yet. My favorite candy is Reese’s cups.
Any candy that has a peanut butter base is fine with me
I’ve WANTED to have some sort of Halloween costume, but I am completely out of ideas. I don’t know, maybe Lena will brainstorm for me when I visit!
This Halloween, I’ll be manning the door for trick-or-treaters! Our neighborhood was crawling with kids last year and we ran out of candy really early, so I’ll be prepared this year! My boys are still babies, so we’ll probably dress them up to greet people too! Thanks for the giveaway! 😀
I’m thinking of going as Anne Boleyn this year; that’s somewhat bookish, especially since the costume will glamorize more of a historical fiction character conglomerate than the actual historical personage inasmuch as I know about her. 😉 Cheers, Kara S
Anything that contains chocolate is good! Halloween is very low key in South Africa, but I’m going to pick up a scary book… was thinking about Malice which I saw in a bookshop yesturday and being on buying book ban this month I left it there, but havent stopped thinking about it. ?
As usual I will gather my friends to watch some horror movies. 🙂
I’ll probably watch some horror movies on Halloween.
My favorite candy is Hershey’s Dark Chocolate.
I love Kit Kat or any chocolate bar. I love it during Halloween because my nieces and nephews share theirs with me and I love it, too, all year round. 🙂
My favourite candy is Skittles. I LOVE skittles. Their perfect to eat while reading, too, because your fingers don’t get all nasty.
I am wanting to be Belle in her Blue Dress!
I’m crazy about dark chocolate!
We are allowed to dress up at work and I have had a few bookish costumes. One year I dressed as Katniss but nobody knew who I was. Another year I dressed as a Slytherin student. I am not sure what I want to dress up as this year yet.
I don’t celebrate Halloween but I love candy!
Honestly, I can’t wait for the CANDY! I’m gonna be a potato I think!
I will be giving out the treats to the little trick or treaters this Halloween!!!
I’ve never done a bookish costume…I usually just do the regulars! Last year my daughters and I all dressed up as bumble bees, though, haha. I still have no idea what we’re doing this year, but then again, I’ve always been one of those last minute people!
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
We have decked out the house with spooky, lurid Halloween decorations and we will be going trick or treating and handing out candy. I wish they had adult trick or treating where people handed out books.
I’ve never dressed up for Halloween. It’s not a thing here :/ I do love candy, we get loads of candy. The gummy ones and chocolate bars. Not a fan of the hard ones
I plan to stay up past my bedtime watching scary movies.
I’m not a big Halloween guy. I loved getting candy of course… but I hated dressing up. I was also the kid who would trade my chocolate for the other kid’s raisins. I hate chocolate and I love raisins 😛
Halloween this year I’m going to be a witch at a halloween party with the city I work in.
I’m dressing up and spending time with my family 🙂
fav candy is for sure reese’s cups.
I don’t do Halloween but I do buy treats for the local kids (and then eat the left over ones myself).
Not a costume person but I love any candy with peanut butter 🙂
There are so many awesome new releases coming out this month! I wish we had Halloween stuff here, I love all the candy and pumpkin flavoured stuff. Thanks for the giveaway Shannon!
I don’t do Halloween but I love dark chocolate.
Sadly Halloween is not really a thing here in Europe :/ but some clubs might have a themed parties so I might go to one of those!
Hershey bars
I love Halloween so much, but I probably won’t really be doing anything other than watching a lot of horror movies 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I live in Australia and we don’t celebrate Halloween here, which is really annoying coz it seems like an awesome tradition! Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
I have exams right after halloween so I’ll probably spend it studying and giving out candy. Hopefully next year is better 🙂
I usually dress up to hand out candy to trick or treaters.
I don’t dress up anymore, but back in high school I always dressed up in a Lord of the Rings dress! Now, though, I try to avoid people on Halloween. XD
I am in China and I work at a english after school center. So at work we are all decorating the classrooms in Halloweens stuff!! Idk what I will be for Halloween yet, but thats what I plan doing for the hoilday!
Oh, I love Halloween. I don’t really have plans this year. As for being a literary character, I was Hermione Granger from the HP series one year when I was younger.
I’ve never done a bookish costume, but I’d love to do that one day. I don’t know who I’d choose though because my fave books are contemporary and no one would have any clue who I was dressed as.
My halloween plans include staying in my dorm and eating candy! I have an exam that day too. :/
Hey! Thanks for the great giveaway. I have done a few bookish costumes, and the year I have made a bookish costume for my granbaby. Little Red Riding Hood.
I am not really doing anything but passing out candy this Halloween and helping my sister eat the candy.
No book-ish costume yet! Though my friends and I did Alice in Wonderland so I guess that’s bookish, haha. I was the Mad Hatter! This year I made a BB8 costume, haha.
My kids went as Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.
Not doing anything this year. 🙁 But one year I wore a green dress like the one Bella wears to her birthday party in the New Moon movie. 🙂
I think this will be the first time I’ll have a Halloween costume 🙂 I’ll be Alice from Alice in Wonderland
The only way I celebrate Halloween is horror movies marathon!! 😛
My daughter and niece are going to a party as Miss Scarlett and Black Widow.
I don’t have any specific plans for Halloween beyond going to see my grandkids get ready to go Trick-or-Treating.
Actually, my birthday is on Halloween!! I use it as bragging rights lol. unfortunately, since I live in Jamaica we don’t celebrate it. this year it falls on a Monday (ughh) but I’ll be going to my first Halloween party the Friday before called “Rave to the Grave” and I’m going as Wednesday Addams.
I plan on handing out candy dressed as Hermione Granger! I have too many favorite candies to pick just one!
Hi! I’m so excited for this giveaway.
Halloween is my birthday.. but I won’t be celebrating. I will be taking my kiddos trick or treating with their Nana.
My favorite candies are smarties. 🙂
I don’t actually celebrate Halloween, so no costume for me 🙁 But thanks so much for the giveaway! I want to read Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven so bad because I just loved All the Bright Places <3
No plans for Halloween except to watch scary movies on television. My favorite candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in any shape or size 🙂
I love Helloween, but this year I won’t dress up, instead I will spend the evening reading The Creeping by Alexandra Sirowy and hand out candy. But last year I went as The Wicked Witch of the East and when I was in primary school I dressed up as Hermione Granger quite often.
We didn’t celebrate halloween here, bt I love candy. My favorite is milk candy.
Thanks for the giveaway.
We don’t celebrate Halloween here in Croatia, but I plan to watch at least one horror movie. 😀
Favorite cany? Mallows atm. 😛
Going to Chipotle in costume after 3 p.m. to get a $3 entree then home to hand out candy. Hopefully, I’ll actually get some trick or treaters this year.
Every Halloween, a bunch of us go to the midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
We don’t celebrate Halloween where I live, but I’ve always wanted to try pumpkin carving! Maybe some day 🙂
ALL candy is my favorite candy! We don’t really do anything for Halloween, but I love all the scary movies and books that come out around this time of year!
My favorite Halloween candy is M&Ms. I don’t have any plans this year except to turn off the lights and hide from the trick-or-treaters since I’ve been so busy at work and Halloween is my only day off in a long while!!! Thanks for the chance to win a new book!
I don’t dress up. I do like candy corn.
Love Reece’s Peanut Butter cups!!
Reese peanut butter cups are my fav candy!
My favorite candy is candy corn
My favorite Halloween candy is candy corn. I like to watch scary movies and read scary books.
My sisteronce drew a cover of a VC Andrews book and that was her costume. I just passed out candy, didn’t dress up.
I did do a bookish costume! It was pretty long ago, though– when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. 🙂
It wasn’t a Halloween/trick-or-treating costume, but for some kind of event (with contests and prizes!) at my school. (My memory is a bit foggy, and I don’t remember if it was for Halloween or not.) Our task was to dress up as a favorite character from a book. I chose to dress up as Violet from “The Boxcar Children.” And… I won! 🙂
