October 2024 Book Blogger Posts Round Up

A collection of blog posts by book bloggers.

Welcome back for another Book Bloggers Round Up! A content collection featuring blog posts by book bloggers. 

I introduced this feature here  on the blog  in May 2021 to showcase blog posts by other book bloggers and as it continues to be a popular series I've decided to continue again this year too. 

Each month I'll include a wide variety of content so there's something for everyone. You'll find book reviews, interviews, discussion pieces and more...

So if you're looking for new bookish content to read and/or want to discover some new book bloggers to follow, look no further!

Why I do this feature:  

Scanning through various social media feeds to find suitable content can take up valuable time and so I figured I'd make it easier and put together a collection here on the blog.

It's also a way for me to highlight some of the other great book bloggers out there and help promote books and reading at the same time. 

How it works:

Each month I do a post  via  my Twitter , where I offer the opportunity for book bloggers to  submit posts published during that month for inclusion in this round up.  I do this every month.

Want to be included in future round ups? Follow  my Twitter profile  and keep an eye out for the submission tweet.

Halloween books for younger kids.

@amloughrey  recommends The Little Ghost who didn’t like to be scary by Isla Wynter . "An excellent book for showing how important it is to talk about your worries and ask for help if you need it. I like the way the author, Isla Wynter, demonstrates free will when Layla thinks about the advice she receives from the owl before deciding what she wants to do." Read the full review here . 

@cjfriess  recommends The Green-Fingered Witch by Helen Docherty & Steven Lenton . "The easy to read rhyming text is complemented by Steven Lenton’s wonderfully atmospheric illustrations. Spooky blues and autumn browns perfectly reflect the Halloween season and they include so many humorous details."  Read the full review here.

Halloween Books for Older Kids

@SifaPoulton   recommends  Things That Go Bump by Kathryn Foxfield . "This book showcases the fun side of horror, where humour and scares coincide. You get to be unsettled by strange noises, and then laugh at the next escapade. It’s a nice blend." Read the full review here.  

@thepagewalker1 recommends Warren the 13th and The All-Seeing Eye by Tania del Rio . " It’s a story that kids will truly enjoy. It’s got all the fun, craziness, adventure, and mystery they will appreciate. Plus, the illustrations are all wonderful; meticulously done in red, black, and white, it will surely catch the kids’ attention." Read the full review here.

@Behindthepages1   recommends  City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab . " City of Ghosts is the perfect starting point for young readers and even adults who are interested in ghost stories. There is just enough of a spooky feeling and close encounters to draw readers in but not overwhelm them." Read the full review here.

@PagesUnbound   recommends  Eleanor, Alice, and the Roosevelt Ghosts by Dianne K. Salerni . "Eleanor, Alice, and the Roosevelt Ghosts is one of those rare middle grade books that feels almost magical. The premise, the plot line, and the characters all combine to create an engrossing story that is hard to put down."   Read the full review here.

@fly276   recommends  Scareground by Angela Kecojevic . "Friendships might be questioned & tested here but the unique characters will keep you wondering & guessing. Enjoy every moment!"   Read the full review here .

@_forbookssake   recommends  Dread Wood by Jennifer Killick . "It was funny, enjoyable to read, and actually rather creepy. I really hope that we get more books, and that this becomes a series, because I would love to continue on a journey with these characters. This is definitely one of the best middle grade horrors that I’ve ever read."   Read the full review here.

@AndOnSheReads   recommends  Shadowhall Academy: The Whispering Walls by Phil Hickes . "As always with Phil Hickes’s work, this was a spooky delight to read. He always excels at capturing the ambiance, and although I read most of this during a sunny train ride, I could feel the cold breath of ghosts breathing down my neck; see the autumn leaves crisping and falling; hear the tap tap tapping on the walls."  Read the full review here.

If you're looking for more Halloween reading inspiration for kids,  @owlbookworld has done a blog post Children’s Horror Books for Little Horror Lovers with a great selection of age-appropriate horror books.

1. Never get involved with magic

2. If you must get involved, do not enter a competition to win the biggest magical fortune in England

3. And definitely don't fall for Callan Hawthorne, the sexy billionaire mage who you've hated for years

So how the heck do I end up in a situation that promises to break all those rules? It's the only way to save Seaside Spells, my family’s magical potion shop.

But it’s cool. When I go back home to Charming Cove—a village of ancient pubs and foul-mouthed familiars—I will totally ignore Witch Weekly’s Sexiest Man of the Year. I’ll win the competition, and if I’m lucky, I won’t turn myself into a toad in the process.

This'll be fine. It’ll all be fine.

Add Midnight in Christmas River to your Goodreads TBR

Book 11 in the best-selling Christmas River Series is a cozy mystery as satisfying as a mug of hot apple cider on a golden autumn day... It's October in Christmas River, and things in the central Oregon town are becoming downright bone-chilling.

When famed horror author Ashcroft Black takes up residence at an old hunting cabin rumored to be haunted, pie baker extraordinaire Cinnamon Peters and the rest of the small town are thrilled to have a bona-fide celebrity in their midst.

But when the characters of Ashcroft's horror novels literally start leaping to life in Christmas River, Cinnamon finds herself pulled into a perplexing mystery involving betrayal, crime, and a scandalous secret someone's willing to kill over.

Can Cin figure out the mystery and free the town of Ashcroft's horror for good? Or will she instead discover that fact is truly more horrifying than fiction? Midnight in Christmas River  is a Halloween-themed mystery and is the perfect read for spooky season. It's full of mischievous fun and heartwarming moments, and even features recipes from Cinnamon's own Halloween party menu. So cozy up with a mug of cider and get ready for many hours of enjoyable reading!

First Lines Fridays

What is  first lines fridays.

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? 

• Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page 
• Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first 
• Finally… reveal the book!

My Pick For This Week

The first lines of the book:.

LA traffic.  Rush Hour.  Rush hour at four hours and counting. Every Angelino busting it to get home before the heavens opened up like a bursting bladder and the rains came in a gush. The city had been pressed down beneath the weight of an anvil sky all day. Endless, ominous twilight in the concrete canyons between the downtown skyscrapers. The air heavy with expectation. 

And the book is...

• Publisher ‏ : ‎  Bantam 
• Publication Date : February 28, 2006
• Mass Market Paperback ‏ : ‎  528 pages
• ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎  0553583581
• ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎  978-0553583588
