Would the book Ghosthunters And The Totally Moldy Baroness! work for this task? I wasn't sure if "Moldy" would be Halloween enough for an adjective
I think my problem with Wicked is the opposite of Cynthia's... I am a fan of Oz stuff, so when I tried to read Wicked I almost was offended at how poorly done it was. I never did make it through. I keep saying, "Someday..."

Of course I'm not a big fan of OZ stuff or audiobooks so I thought that was why but maybe it's just that it isn't such a great book.

I was hoping to read it's sequel for task 5.1 if I end up liking Wicked.
Just double checking that it's cool to use either 'supernatural' or 'undead' for this challenge, both are adjectives and nouns. I'm not sure what I'm going to read yet, but I want to keep my options open.

The musical has a totally different feel and focus. It's not as dark and gritty as the book. I've seen Wicked twice--and I've never seen The Wizard of Oz. (and I live in Kansas now!)

I agree Donna Jo. I started reading that and I just didn't get what all the fuss was about. I haven't seen the musical because of it, but maybe I should check it out.

I hope you enjoy it. I really loved the musical, but hated the book so much I couldn't finish it (and I am very compulsive about finishing any book I start.)
I was thinking about re-reading "Harry Potter and the DEATHLY Hallows" for this task -- think that'll work?

I'm also rooting for "evil" as acceptable. I want to use Web of Evil by J.A. Jance, mostly because I am reading it for my October "Masters of Mystery" discussion group.

I love her!! I still CANNOT BELIEVE that Pushing Daisies got cancelled! I was SOOOO MAD!!! (Still am, really...) They should move the show over to USA. Characters Welcome... ;)

I had planned on using Wicked--As in Something Wicked This Way Comes (How had I never read this book?)

I hope so, I was planning on reading An Evil Guest for this task. As far as I know, evil can be used as an adjective or a noun.
How about White is for Witching A Novel? Witching can be both an adjective and a noun? If not then I will just read Plum Spooky, but this book has been on my to read shelf for a while and I would like to read it...
I saw lots of folks with Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich, too.Although now I'm tempted to try the first Sookie Stackhouse mystery (Dead Until Dark) since "dead" is okay too!
"Read A Novel That Has An Adjective In The Title That Relates To Halloween...I.E. Spooky, Creepy, Crawly, Scary etc."Dead is itself an adjective, so I'd think it would be fine.
