I haven’t read much yet, but so far there’s been kitty litter strewn everywhere, and a set of drapes destroyed. So, typical cat behavior! 😹

Sometimes the costume wears you! 😹 (This is my big man Björn as a flying pig. The costume is intended for a medium-sized dog, by the way!) Happy Halloween! 🎃

📚💙 Book of the day: How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix. Estranged siblings try to sell their childhood home, but the house has other plans. Lots of horror themes here, yet I found the story repetitive & overly long. 🏚️

📚💙 Book of the day: You Like It Darker by Stephen King. Short story collection with typical King style/diction. They’re mostly supernatural/mystical in tone, and all have nearly an identical vibe.

📚💙 Book of the day: Ghostwritten by Ronald Malfi. Four (very loosely) connected novellas about books with mysterious, dangerous, and deadly powers. Good creepy fun. 😱🤡📚

📚💙 Book of the day: You'd Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace. A young woman joins a grief group after her father’s death; she’s also a sociopathic serial killer. There‘s some very dark humor & a bit of mystery, along with some heavier topics. 🇬🇧

📚💙 Book of the day: Once Upon a Crime by P. J. Brackston. Expectedly silly mystery “sequel“ to Hansel & Gretel where Gretel is a 30-something private investigator. First in a series. 🧌🤴🏼👸🏼🐈‍⬛

Finally seeing some beautiful fall colors in MN. 🍁 A bit late in the season this year; we had our first freeze this morning. My zinnias are gone, 😢 but the trees are lovely. 🍁
