Happy Halloween and Giveaway Winners!
Happy Halloween!
This is my favorite holiday! For one, any excuse to wear costumes and eat candy is pretty awesome. For two, I just love this time of year–the leaves are changing color and the air is ripe with that potential only autumn has. For three (probably the best reason EVER), I met my husband at a Halloween party.
Unfortunately, no one really celebrates Halloween in Germany, so all the costume-wearing and candy-consumption in the area falls to me this year…
I’m sure I’ll manage somehow.
Over on Let the Words Flow, we’re sharing our favorite scary stories and thrilling books. No surprise mine is House of Leaves, and speaking of that terrifying tome, I should announce the giveaway winner:

BUT, there’s one more giveaway going on. It’s a SUPER SEKRIT GIVEAWAY because it’s hidden somewhere on my website. Each month, there’s a new book to be won.
October’s book is Ashes by Ilsa Bick, and the winner is:
YAHONG!

Be sure to scour the website for the giveaway spot. November’s book is another one of my faves. 😉
AND NOW, let’s go back to Halloween.
More importantly, let’s talk Halloween candy. My favorite is a purely processed concoction you either love or loathe:
candy corn!
Sadly, it doesn’t exist in Germany… 🙁
You tell me: What’s your favorite Halloween treat? And are you dressing up for the holiday?

Living someplace that doesn’t really do Halloween would be hard for me, for sure. It’s my favorite holiday too, although I’m not dressing up this year. LAME. And yes, I am right there with you on the candy corn. Bring on the high fructose corn syrup! The more the better! 😉

Why aren’t you dressing up? NOT ACCEPTABLE…unless the kiddo is. Is she?? Because I bet that’s adorable.

I love Halloween – I can’t imagine living in a country that doesn’t celebrate it, ha ha. 🙂

Yeah, I *definitely* miss costume parties and candy…plus the whole creepy element of a crisp Halloween night.

🙂 Aw, I think it’s the sweetest that you met your husband at a Halloween party!
And candy corn — sadly, I’m one of those who don’t much care for it. I love sweets in general, but candy corn is too sweet for me.
Happy Halloween to you!

You know, I bet if I tried to eat it now, years after I last ate American candy, it would be too sweet for me too…But I shall CLING TO THE MEMORIES!

YAY! I’m so glad my efforts in finding the super sekrit giveaway weren’t wasted. 🙂 And NO candy corn in Germany?? How do you survive?? *emails candy corn to Sooz*

Haha, I *wish* you could actually email me candy corn. ::sigh:: Perhaps I can finagle my mom into sending me some… 😉
