Halloween Book Tag

theblindscribe

Happy Friday bookish people! I hope you are all having a good day today. I am bringing you my answers to a Halloween Book Tag, I found it last year and I was curious to see if any of my answers would have changed between now and then.

1. carving pumpkins: what book would you carve up and light on fire – A Novel Murder by E C Nevin

I did not enjoy this book, actually I DNF’d it after only a couple of chapters, honestly I could not do a cosy crime novel with a main character who is so self deprecating, I couldn’t continue.

2. trick or treat: a character who is a treat and one who is a trick – Adena in Powerless, Eli from Vicious

Adena is one of the sweetest characters in any books I have read and she did not deserve her ending, on the other hand Eli from vicious started my obsession with morally grey characters and he did deserve the ending he got.

3. candy corn: what book is always sweet – What Would Jane Austen Do?

This book is one of few romance novels that I have actually enjoyed. It merged classic romance of Jane Austen with a light, fluffy, funny, romance plot.

4. ghosts: a character you would like to visit you as a ghost – Ferrius Parfax from Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell

She takes no nonsense and she will give you the harsh truths that you need to hear.

5. Dressing in costume: a character you would want to be for a day – Violet Sorrengail from Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

I had a stall at London Film and Comic Con July 2025, and I dressed as Violet Sorrengail for that. First time ever wearing leather trousers – they’re not the easiest to wear! But I thought it was great fun to dress as a favourite character for a day or two.

6. blood and gore: a book so creepy you had to take a break – A Gift of Poison by Bella Ellis

This book has a big focus on the dead coming back to take revenge on the living and I made the mistake of reading it at night, I thought the book was excellent but it was creepy.

Halloween Book Tag!

Happy Friday Bookish People! I hope you’re all having a good day today. It is nearly Halloween! Do you do anything to celebrate? I don’t but I love seeing people in costumes, where I live there are lots of kids on the street so I hear them laughing and it is nice to hear them enjoying themselves.

As Halloween is so close I thought it would be fun to do a short Halloween Book Tag, I found this tag on spaceandsorcery.wordpress.com so go check out how they answered the tag.

1. Carving pumpkins: What book would you carve up and light on fire

It has to be Ulysses by James Joyce. I had to read it for University and I hated every minute of it, it is a large book and the plot did not hook my interest but the worst part of it is that for a big section of it there is absolutely no punctuation.

2. Trick or treat: A character who is a treat and one who is a trick

I am going to cheat a little bit here and pick a character who can be a trick and a treat depending on his mood and that is Jacks the Prince of Hearts from Stephanie Garber’s Once Upon A Broken Heart series.

3. Candy Corn: What book is always sweet?

I decided to go with the Lady in the Tower by Marie Louise Jenson and I love this book, the spine is cracked terribly because of how many times I have read it.

4. Ghosts: A character you would like to visit you as a ghost?

It was tough choice between Thomas Cresswell from the Stalking Jack the Ripper series by Kerri Maniscalco, one of my favourite male leads from any book or Reichus from Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell which is a squirrel cat creature.

5. Dressing in Costume: A character you would want to be for a day.

Scarlett from Caraval by Stephanie Garber, I actually have dressed as her before to go to Comic Con.

6. Wizards and Witches: Your favourite Harry Potter moment

This would be the fight scene in the Order of the Pheonix

7. Blood and gore: A book so creepy you had to take a break

The Devil makes Three by Tori Bovalino, seriously if you like creepy books this is one to read.

Halloween Creatures Book Tag!

theblindscribe

Happy Friday bookish people! Today I am bringing you a book tag perfect for the cosy, spooky vibes of October- the Halloween Creatures Book Tag that I found on blogging with dragons.com

I hope you enjoy!

Witch – A magical character or book

the first book that came to mind for that was A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske because of the highly inventive magical world.

Werewolf – the perfect book to read at night

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, it is my favourite classic novel but it did used to freak me out the first few times I read it. The atmosphere and location make it the perfect book to read at night.

Frankenstein – a book that truly shocked you

moonflower murders by Anthony Horowitz, I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did.

The Devil – a dark, evil character

I have to be honest, no character comes to mind other than the white walkers in Game of thrones because I like to think most characters have more depth than just being pure evil.

Grim Reaper – a character that never should have died

Matthias in Six of Crows duology – sorry if you haven’t read this yet and I just spoiled it for you!

Zombie – a book that made you hungry for more

Easy, it is definitely kingdom of the wicked, I loved that book and now I have the whole trilogy.

Vampire – a book that sucked the life out of you

Wuthering heights by Emily Bronte. I disliked this book, maybe it was because I had to read it at school but it is not in my top classic books.

ghost – a book that still haunts you

this lie will kill you by Chelsea Pitcher. This book honestly gave me nightmares.

Demon – a book that really scared you.

I have to give the same answer as above for the same reason, this lie will kill you by Chelsea pitcher.

Mummy – a book you would preserve throughout time.

the starless sea by Erin morgenstern!

that is it for this book tag, how would you have answered these questions?
