The Halloween Book Tag

Happy Halloween everyone, so this tag is about all things spooky and halloweenie  (not a word) 

So lets get started .... 

1. Favourite Horror Book?

I don't really read Horror books so i kind of cheated a little bit and chose Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake, its got ghost and blood and murder in it but it is more paranormal.

 2. Scariest Moment in A Book You Have Read?

Again i don't read books with many scary moments but there is one i do remember, is from The Diviners by Libba Bray and it is the rhyme the killer says  
"Naughty John, Naughty John, does his work with his apron on. Cuts your throat and takes your bones, sells 'em off for a coupla stones." 
It still freaks me out and i read it over a year ago

3. Would You or Have You Ever Dressed Up As A Book Character for Halloween?

No, but i most probably will at some point.


4. What Do You Think Your Favourite Character Would Dress Up As For Halloween?

My fave character is Rose Hathaway from the Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead and when she was in school you could just imagine her dressing up as a Strigoi and piss off Stan. 

(Well That was luck i found a picture of her dressed as a Strigoi)

 5. What is your favourite kind of Horror ? (gore, psychological, thriller, spooky...)

Like i said before I'm not a big horror fan but if had to choose it would either be Spooky or Thriller like The Never List by Koethi Zan 



6. If Books Were As Cheap As Candy, Which Ones Would You Give Out To Trick or Treaters?

It would have to be any Jacqueline Wilson, Roald Dahl books also maybe some of the Captain Underpants books they were awesome.

 

7.Halloween to Read List?

I'm not reading any books on Halloween, because it is my sisters birthday so I'm spending my day making her cake and then going out for a meal, but here are some of my Halloween Recommendations....

The Diviners - Libba Bray
The Never List - Koethi Zan
Anna Dressed In Blood - Kendare Blake
Unleashed - Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie

So that was it for The Halloween Book Tag, now for Christmas songs to start playing tomorrow...

Until Next Time

Top 15 Favourite Tv Shows

So I do watch a lot of TV but mainly in the background while I read so these are in no particular order so let's get started....

15. The great British bake off (BBC)

I love baking and this show is amazing I love the talent and the drama of the timed bakes its just a really fun show that never leaves me sad.

14. Melissa & Joey (E4)

I love this show it is just so funny and cute and fluffy but I only have one complaint and that's when I look at Mel I cannot help but think of Sabrina the teenage witch. But all in all Its a wonderful sitcom and it should be a bit more popular.

13. Gavin & Stacey 

Gavin and Stacey ended in 2010 but 5 years on its still one of my all time favourites this is a British comedy show about a guy from Essex and a girl from Wales and they meet for the first time and its a amazing series that you should look up.

12. Gilmore girls 

Gilmore girls was my childhood I remember coming home from school and putting it on and loving it and wishing I had that kind of relationship with my mum because it's perfect and beautiful and also its the first glimpse of Melissa McCarthy that I remember seeing. 

11. Pretty Little Liars 

I used to watch this religiously but for some reason i stopped and I really need to catch up because Facebook has spoiled me so I am intrigued into watching it and finding out whats been going on. 

10. Bluestone 42 (BBC3)

I love this its a good old British comedy set in Afghanistan following a group of British soldiers who are part of the bluestone 42 bomb squad and its hilarious and funny its got the seriousness of war and the consequences of it but there is a lighter side and a funny side to it not the situation but the characters.

And well Neville Longbottom has grown up in it. 

9. Being Human 

Now I'm talking about the original not the US remake I remember watching this when it first came out now looking back I was way to young to be watching a show that had vampires killing people during sex and it was pretty graphic but aside from that part of it I loved the premise of this show a vampire, werewolf and ghost live in a house together and I can still go back a d watch them with a smile on my face. 

8. One tree hill 

Again like Gilmore girls I remember coming home from school and having this to watch it was such an addiction for me I loved it so much and I loved the characters and the storylines the just drew me in and kept me hooked all 9 seasons.

7. Charmed 

I have not seen every episode of charmed only the last couple of series but I am today (15/04/2015)  going to watch it from the begging its a series about 3 sisters who are witches but they are the charmed ones the most powerful witches of their time. Yes I will admit the graphics are not very good but I mean it was originally made in the early 2000's. But it's on Netflix so you should check it out.

6. Poldark (BBC)

Poldark is a new series on BBC 1 and its based on the books by Winston Graham and it is amazing I mean I love Cornwall, I live in London but I have family there and go all the time its a beautiful place and I mean just watch it to see Aidan Turner Topless, it's just an amazing period drama set in the 1700's and is set to be released on the 14 of June in America. 

 

5. The 100 (E4 & The CW)

This is a post apocalyptic dystopian world where when radiation became to much (or something) some went up to a space station but they are running out of air so they sent 100 youth prisoners to the ground to see if it's safe its a really addictive series that you need to start watching A.S.A.P

4. The Tudors 

OK this series is just so F***ing good I mean it's about Henry VIII and its just so perfect I love this so much and I mean Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Natalie Dormer as Henry and Anne its the best casting ever. 

3. Grey's Anatomy ( Sky Living) 

The last series is coming to an end and I'm really sad I have been watching this show for around 6 years and it has become a part of my life and the characters seem to have the worst luck ever nothing seems to go right but at the same time its funny and educational on some fronts so all in  all if you have never seen an episode of Grey's you need to and pronto.

2. Blue Bloods (CBS & Sky Atlantic) 

A TV show about a family of New York City police officers something I never expected to like but it grabs onto you and doesn't let go I have been watching since the second season and I fell in love with the characters and the storylines and I cannot wait every week for the new one to air (and its almost the end of season 5 the writers need to deal with the Jamie and Eddie Love story because I need them together) 

1. Game of Thrones (HBO & Sky Atlantic)

I mean do I ready need to explain why I love this show, it's from my favourite time period (medieval) and there's violence and politics and family and everything in between. If you haven't seen it yet go watch it now.

OK so that was my top 15 TV shows so far in my life but they will probably change in the next few months.

For everyone who has read it all here's a cookie 

Until next time
