The Spooktacular Book Blog Hop is ON!!

What to give away?  Hmmmm.... My first giveaway as a blogger.  Lots of wonderful books came to mind, but then it is Halloween!  Of course, I needed to choose books have a theme consistent with Halloween.

  I am giving away three books.  The first two are Young Adult and the third is my favorite Halloween picture book.

  So, I was walking through Walmart and saw the first book in my giveaway.  I haven't read it, so I can't review it, but the title made me laugh.  I couldn't resist. (if you win, let me know if it's good :-) )

Romeo & Juliet & Vampires

"You are deluded, Romeo. Vampires do not have the capability to love. They are heartless."

The Capulets and the Montagues have some deep and essential differences. Blood differences. Of course, the Capulets can escape their vampire fate, and the Montagues can try not to kill their undead enemies. But at the end of the day, their blood feud is unstoppable. So it's really quite a problem when Juliet, a vampire-to-be, and Romeo, the human who should be hunting her, fall desperately in love. What they don't realize is how deadly their love will turn out to be—or what it will mean for their afterlives. . . .
This riotous twist on the ultimate tale of forbidden romance is simply to die for.

My second choice is from a fellow blogger, it is her first publication and the editing leaves a bit to be desired.  I did enjoy the story.  It is worth reading.

The Thirteenth Chime by Emma Michaels

  In a beautiful house that overlooks the sea, an antique clock has the power to change the course of their lives.

The power the clock resonates will not only force Destiny and ex-boyfriend David on a journey into the depths of one man's mind long dead, but into the mind of a man filled with hatred and bent on revenge.

With the only clues to the nature of the clock having disappeared into the sea, Destiny and David must retrace the steps the man had taken into the darkness, before they fall prey to the trap he had set in motion over half a century ago.

Hatred never dies.

Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman

Once there was a witch who longed for pumpkin pie. Unfortunately, the pumpkin she had grown from a seed became so big she simply couldn't get it off the vine. Although 'she pulled and she tugged and she pulled...that pumpkin just sat.' Along came a ghost. 'I am bigger than you and stronger, too, ' said he. 'Let me try.' Well, the witch wanted that whole pumpkin for herself. But she needed help-Halloween was just hours away.... 

I loved reading this book to my kids.  We would do different voices for the characters.  It is a fun book!  I purchased this copy fromAmazon, and thought I was getting a new copy.  This copy is used, it has a name that has been scribbled out in the cover and the ends are a little worn.  Sorry!  ( I will now hide my head in shame.)

A BIG thanks to kathy at  I am a Reader, Not a Writer for putting this together.
