lol I didn't know ou'd use them all. But I can do this :) I hope.
I've been looking at
. It would certainly fit the bill. I am such a book cover ho.
Oh gosh! I'm on the hunt now for kitty cats, skeletons, witches and leaves . . . I don't think I can do a warlock!! LOL! This sounds like lots of Halloween fun and I'm looking forward to seeing all the choices and reading the reviews!
Until later, BOO!!
Great, AnneOK! I look forward to seeing your choices. :o)
The Halloween madness has officially begun. Here are my choices and then I HAVE TO GO TO BED! #1 - A Skeleton at Her Door
, by E. Ayers - self-explanatory cover#2 - Key West
, by Lacey Alexander - cover includes black, orange, red and brownLet the bewitching begin!
Those look pretty neat, AnneOK. I especially like the first one. The shadowing/silhouette is nice.
Oops, guess I didn't get it changed quick enough. I posted incorrectly. The correct book with described colors are now posted. I told you I needed to go to bed! I'm having too much fun. Good night!
You only have to have one of the colors, AnneOK. But don't worry about it. Get some sleep. :o)
Awww - thanks!! I just sent you a "friendquest." You might be afraid -- and I understand! LOL!
Thanks, AnneOK! I've wanted to follow you for a while now, but you don't allow that. Probably a good idea. I've had a few weird e-mails. I'm going to flag the next one.
Found a book in my tbr pile with leaves on it. Currently listening to:
Thinking about listening to:
. Thre is a cat right there by the umbrella stand.
Oh, I forgot I have
! There's a little kitty cat on the cover.
Hmmm, guess I better get busy and look for my books for this challenge :)
No idea what I have that I plan on reading this month that might fit this, but I'm gonna try. =)
Hey, I never thought I'd get a warlock on the cover, but Croatian version of
shows the hero, and he's a witch/warlock
. **hee hee** I wonder if I can use it?

3/2 Managed all of them! ☺
COLOR: red cover
✔ Killing Me Softly, by Maggie Shayne ★★★✩✩ PB 10/12
HOLIDAY = Halloween: cat on cover
✔ Murder is Binding, by Lorna Barrett ★★★½✩ PB 10/13
ITEM: leaves on the cover
✔ Cold Sassy Tree, by Olive Ann Burns ★★★★✩ OD audio 10/13
I just got Killing Me Softly from the Library to read. Also got Kill Me Again from there. R they any good?
I figured out the killer of
right away. But, I like the "voice" of the author. I haven't read the second one, Pamela. The author is one of those who just needs a bit of... not polish... maybe in need of a better editor; however, I'm not sure that is the person who would tip her over the line into a four or five star read. Do you know what I mean? Is it the editor that does that? This is the second one of her books I've read, and I felt the say way about the first.
ok, I think I know what u mean. I will try them and I'm not out anything since they are library books :)
Finished with the October-Over-In-A-Flash challenge!A Skeleton at Her Door
and I made a change in my second choice to:
Animal Attraction
"A Skeleton At Her Door" was a complete surprise and turned out to be a cute and delightful Halloween romance. I thought it was going to be a scary suspense. Light, quick and fun! 3-stars
"Animal Attraction" was another delightfully fun read by Jill Shalvis who can write charming, witty and wonderful romance in a great way! Dell and Jade were perfectly matched and I loved their sparring matches! 4-stars
Happy Halloween! (I've been teaching my two-year old granddaughter the old ryhme, "Trick-or-treat, smell-my-feet, give me something good to eat! -- much to her mother's disapproval!)

Anne, I'm so glad you like
; I'll have to move it up on my tbr list. I'll have to see if I can find the skelton one, LOL!What is your granddaughter going to be for Halloween?
Boy, Heather! Maybe I'm glad I had a cold delay my reading if both you and CaroB didn't like
!

What is your granddaughter going to..."
Oh, I really did enjoy Dr. Dell and Jade. Their personalities stole my heart and, after being on a thriller/chiller reading kick for awhile, I really needed something fun and romantic with a perfect ending.
My Karoline is going to be the cutest two-year old version of Little Red Riding Hood ever!! Of course, I might be a tiny bit prejudice. If I can manage it, I'll try to post a picture after Halloween night, along with her brother in his Darth Vader costume.
P.S. to Lisa Kay, I would be happy to loan you the skeleton Halloween story if you have a Kindle. Let me know.
Really! Great. I'll PM you my e-mail address. ☺
Probably for the best, Lisa Kay. So many better books out there to try.

"Anne, I just wanted you know that I am not putting off reading this book - I'm having trouble downloading it from Amazon. Everything looks okay, it briefly flashed with the fill bar when I synch my Kindle for PC with the site, but then it doesn't appear. I'll call Amazon tomorrow. I just didn't want you to think I wasn't going to read it.
No problem, Lisa Kay. I'm in no hurry for it back. I'm just sorry you're having problems downloading. It didn't give me a bit of trouble.
Anne, I didn't have to call Amazon, for some reason A Skeleton at Her Door just showed up on my Kindle this morning. Not, I didn't miss it the first time, LOL! How could I, as it was listed first? Anyway, what a great little read. Loved it! Surprising depth of characters for such a quick novella.
Thank you again for the loan! It was a nice little Halloween treat.
