Love Carmilla! I feel the same as you about The Halloween Tree. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is the perfect spooky season read. Great update!

[@TheBookThing]

@@literarylove123 thanks it really is a perfect Halloween read.

I am not a classics girlie. So the fact that Carmella felt modern, I’m even more excited for it! Glad you enjoyed it! 💕💕

[@TheBookThing]

@@onceuponabookishsteph I reckon you’ll like it. Looking forward to hearing what you think.

[@NicolesBookishNook]

Carmilla is the bestest everrrr 😍 I recently named on of my Sims Ichabod Crane. Don't even know why other than spooky season.

[@TheBookThing]

I cannot argue with that logic. In either statement.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

I read Carmilla last year and really liked it!! I haven’t read Sleepy Hollow but, I do want to. I’m glad you reviewed The Halloween Tree. I didn’t realize it was a children’s book either. Lol

[@TheBookThing]

@@Maeve_Ever_Books Carmilla’s pretty great. Sleepy Hollow’s nice and short so you’ll zip through it in an afternoon. Yeah, seems like I need to do my homework before I read Bradbury

You're 46?! You look like you're in your early 30s. Those anti-aging Irish genes coming out and I love to see it 🤣

[@TheBookThing]

30’s? Christ I wish. Stuff would hurt less. As I’ve said before, I attribute my youthful complexion to a strict regime of Terry Pratchett books and whiskey.
