Throwback Tuesday to some of my spooky childhood reads! It’s been a while since I did a #bookblastfromthepast so I thought I’d share some of my spooky Sweet Valley Twins and The Babysitters Club books. I’ve always loved reading and writing ghost stories and I loved these books as a child.

Spooky Saturday…Happy October 1st! It is one of my favourite months of the year, especially as #spookishbookishpages hosted by @bookishsteph1 and @pagesandcup is back! Steph and Aisha’s month of challenges is one of my Bookstagram highlights every year and I also look forward to their Christmas challenge every year too. Today’s prompt is TBR and I just want to read all the spooky books this month! Realistically I probably won’t read all of these as there are other books I want to read too this month, but I figure it’s worth a shot! 😄

Film Friday…The film adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ Blonde has just been released and is already stirring up quite the buzz, and not exactly the good kind! Despite apparently earning a fourteen minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival and early Oscar buzz for Ana de Armas for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe, the reviews from critics and viewers have not been kind.

Tennis Thursday…It’s been less than a week since one of my favourite tennis players Roger Federer retired from tennis! 😭 I wish I could have watched his final match playing doubles with my other favourite tennis player Rafael Nadal. I’ve loved seeing all the clips and photos from the match, especially the photo of Federer and Nadal holding hands. It looked like such an emotional evening! It really is the end of an era with Federer retiring and, with Serena Williams also retiring, it feels like an amazing era of tennis is slowly coming to an end. I hope Nadal still has a few years of play left in him yet as it will be a sad day when both he and Federer are no longer playing tennis. I’ll be hoping they become commentators at Wimbledon then! 😄

There are so many amazing books released right now and I just want to read them all! 😄 Here are five new releases that are high on my list to read! I am actually reading one of them right now and it is the new Maggie O’Farrell, which is so good. What new releases are you excited about right now?

Yesterday was Stephen King’s 75th birthday! I missed the chance to post for the day itself, so I just had to do a belated post today! 😄 I am doing something similar to @theartfulelle and I’m doing a chronological read of King’s books that I haven’t read, while also reading any new books of his that are released. I haven’t actually read a King in a while as my next chronological book to read is The Stand and that’s quite a big one! 😆 I haven’t bought Fairy Tale either mainly because of the cost of living 😒, so I have not bought any books in quite a while! Luckily, there should hopefully be a copy coming to me soon anyway through work! 🤞🏻😁
