This week’s topic is:
Top 10 Halloween Freebie: Books that Remind me of Halloween Costumes!
Last year I did books as candy, but I didn’t want to do the same thing, so I tried something else. Hopefully this is as cool as I thought it was in my head lol
1. Tunnel of Bones by Victoria Schwab & Skeletons: This is a MG book and second in a series, but if you’ve read it, you know why this would make you want to be a skeleton for Halloween!
2. Renegades by Marissa Meyer and Superheroes: This was the book and costume combination that made me decide to do this topic. If you’ve read it, you know why I chose superheroes. If you know me, you know why I chose Wonder Woman lol
3. The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh & Dracula: This book has the creepy, blood thirsty vampires that I have been dreaming of, so if I was to see a Dracula costume, I’d be thinking of that.
4. Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin & Witches: I don’t normally like witches, but I really enjoyed this book and this witch lol
5. Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly & Minerva: If I was to dress up as a Disney character, I would choose Minerva from Brandy’s Cinderella. And of course, this made me think of Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly. I never did feel like it was their fault, I always knew it was the stepmother.
6. Shuri by Nnedi Okoragor & Shuri: Even from just watching the movie I knew I loved her. And this graphic novel was also good. She’s smart and strong and bad ass. I would wear her costume even when it’s not Halloween.
7. Let Me Hear a Rhyme by Tiffany D. Jackson & Biggie Smalls: No lie, I added this because my husband was Rick Ross one year. I bet he could also do Biggie Smalls lmao (The third picture is if you didn’t believe that my husband dressed up as Rick Ross bahahaha)
8. Lovely War by Julie Berry & Aphrodite: I loved this retelling and I thought it was told in an intersting way. It definitely made me want to try dressing up as her once or twice.
9. Spin by Lamar Giles & DJ Marshmallow: In Spin there is a DJ that everyone loves, and if you know DJ Marshmallow, I’m sure you love them too!
10. Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller & a pirate: Alosa is pretty bad ass and again, I would definitely wear this costume on days other than Halloween lol
