This year marks my blog's first Halloween and, since Halloween is my favorite holiday, I thought I'd do something special. I've put together an awesome line-up for the week leading up until Halloween, so stay tuned for some awesome new posts, including creature feature reviews, lots of guest posts, the Bump in the Night Brawl, and a special giveaway. Now, you may ask, "What are these things you speak of?" Well, I'll tell you.
The creature feature reviews are reviews by any other name. The difference is that each one is a review of a book that I will have chosen for each of the six supernatural beings that are commonly associated with Halloween: ghosts, witches, zombies, vampires, werewolves, and demons. Each book is handpicked, read, and reviewed by myself. The books I will chose will be picked with the holiday in mind. It's a fun way for me to spice up my review routine.
The Bump in the Night Brawl is a little something I put together to go with the guest posts and giveaway. Starting Monday, October 24, there will be a post about the supernatural creature of the day, written by one of the awesome ladies who humored the crazy woman and agreed to write up a little something about why the creature they are championing is THE one to beat, the epitome of Halloween, the ultimate thing that goes bump in the night. The line-up looks something like this:
Monday, October 24: ghosts w/ me, Marla
Tuesday, October 25: zombies w/ Kyla from Kyla Novelista
Wednesday, October 26: witches w/ Nikki from Books Most Wanted
Thursday, October 27: vampires w/ Louise from Between the Covers
Friday, October 28: werewolves w/ DJL from Denim-Jacket Librarian Dishes
Saturday, October 29: demons w/ Christy from The Reader Bee
Sunday, October 30: poll day
Monday, October 31: announcement of winner & giveaway
"But Marla, what's the point in all that?" you may ask. I shall tell you that, too.
On Sunday, October 30, there will be a poll. The object of that poll is to vote for the supernatural being that YOU think should be the winner of the Bump in the Night Brawl. The poll will be open from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. At midnight, I will note the winner and prepare the winner announcement along with...
A GIVEAWAY!
You see, the winner of the Bump in the Night Brawl determines what kind of book will be given away to one of my lucky readers. For instance, if ghosts should win the day, a list of ghost-centric books will be posted for the giveaway winner to choose from. So what do you think? Would you care to join me this Halloween?
