Welcome to the October Of Books Giveaway Hop, which I co-host with Lonna @ FLYLēF!
I will be giving away a pack of October books! I have read and enjoyed Boneless Mercies and kind of decided to skip Black Wings Beating because… well, seemed too birdy. US only I’m afraid, because money sucks.
“It’s almost Halloween! Love it? Hate it? Best costume you’ve ever had?” No one in my family has ever been that fond of Halloween–but my mother made a pretty good pirate outfit for me long ago!
Love Halloween and dressing up! I think my best costume was Princess Peach.
Not a big Halloween fan but I do like the movies at that time of year. I also enjoy walking my grandkids around for trick or treat.
I’m not very into Halloween, but I am all about the candy!
We don’t do the big ‘trick or treat’ thing that you guys do in the States, but, having grown up in Ireland I do celebrate Samhain, the Celtic festival of light fading into dark and love this time of year.
I like Halloween. Best costume was an Indian princess.
I LOVE halloween! We have a lot of fun. The bet costume I did was dresssing up like my husband. So many people thought I was him.
I always enjoy Halloween and love seeing all the kids costumes.
I love Halloween more and more over the years! Not necessarily the spooky aspects of it, but just being able to geek out and dress up in costume, eat tons of candy, and enjoy the fall weather. My favorite costumes over the past few years have been Wonder Woman, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, and a steampunk angel.
Halloween is my favorite! My husband and I were married on Halloween and we had a Halloween themed wedding. My favorite costume ever was a zombie bride. =)
I love it as I love to see all the little ones that come to our door. My favorite is when I made my son his first clown costume.
I just realized that I have Black Wings Beating and everyone has said it’s too *birdy* lol I think I’m going to give it a try but keep that in mind and dnf quickly if I feel the same.

I don’t really like Halloween, but my favorite costume was when I made my self a “Smartie Pants” by attaching Smartie candies to my pants.
Love the vibe but I’m usually too lazy to dress up
Halloween is my favorite holiday! I decorate more for it than I do Christmas; I just love spooky things!
Oh gosh. I am not sure if I can remember back that far. Ha. I do recall going to the skating rink as dracula. Haha.
Come over and win a new release – Ashley @ Oh Hey! Books.
I do like Halloween , I just dont like that its going to be the end of another year and its going to get cold and depressing 🙁
like it
I’ve never been all that big on Halloween, but a couple years ago we had fun doing the kids’ costumes. Jade was Tardis and Danielle was “Raining Cats and Dogs” (I’m sad to say Noah was a random store-bought costume, and I don’t remember which one he was that year—he wasn’t interested in a homemade costume).
I don’t like dressing up myself. But I love helping my kids get dressed up. I helped my son do his make up to be a zip face zombie, a zip face werewolf. My youngest was a creepy sock monkey. My daughter has been a glittery vampire. My oldest son has been a nerd, a creepy bloody guy that had safety pins holding his mouth shut.
I love Halloween! I used to be very much into costuming for it, but since getting to that age (and health) where I don’t actually do anything on or around Halloween (like parties), that kind of wore off for me. I DO love seeing clever costumes on trick-or-treaters or at work, though. If I can break out my Old Lady hat for a moment here: When I was a kid, our costumes were never store-bought. You made them with ingenuity, and sometimes sweat and blood, and your own creativity. Nowadays, 90% of the kids that come to the door are in some polyester costume-in-a-bag monstrosity that involved no creativity at all. I understand convenience, but it’s such a waste (especially considering that costume was probably made in a sweatshop and will end up in a landfill in a short period of time). So I give double handfuls of candy to any kid who shows up in a homemade costume. And I always will.
Absolutely love Halloween! It’s my favorite holiday, especially since its during my birthday month! My favorite costume isn’t my own, but my kids 2 years ago when they dressed as characters from Teen Titans Go!
My favorite costume was when I was a genie!! The only bad thing was it was the only chilly Halloween, but it was worth it!! I would still buy a replica of it and wear it again if I could 🙂
Love Halloween. My favorite costume(s) was when my cousin and my siblings (there were 9 of us), dressed as football players and cheerleaders, except the girls were the football players and the boys were cheerleaders complete with wigs and makeup (this was late ’60s). Costumes were all made by my mom and aunt. It was a fun night.
I’ve never dressed up for Halloween; I look scary enough normally!
I absolutely love Halloween. I’ve got a vampire costume that I take out each year.
Love it! I was a duck one year, ha!
I like Halloween, though I don’t dress up. I like seeing everyone else’s costumes.
Love Halloween! All I ever have worn is a witch costume.
Then you religiously submit your site to all of the search engines.

I’m really not fond of it. I love the children and all their costumes though. Best costume that I’ve seen was a zombie.
I love love love Halloween, but I don’t dress up in costume much. I do decorate my house.
I love Halloween. Best costume- Goodyear Blimp when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant
I like Halloween, don’t love it but don’t hate it either, lol I like to see the kids in costumes 🙂
I love Halloween – seeing what all the kids are dressed up as! My favorite costume was a couple of years ago when I was a contestant from the Price is Right!
We love Halloween !!!! I don’t dress up much, usually just a Witch, but I always went all out with my children and grandchildren!!

I haven’t really participated in Halloween in a long time, but my daughter was born in July so IT IS ON!
