Happy Halloween!

Hello fellow bookworms!

Long time, no post. The fall season is upon us and this month I was preparing my costume for a Halloween parade. It took sewing, a lot of searching, some creativity, and some arts and crafts. Any guesses on my costume this year? I will give you a hint, she is also a bookworm, there is a rose, she will meet prince charming and she won't discover that it's him until Chapter 3!

Did you guess it?

Yes, this year I went as Belle! In full hoop skirt and full-of-ruffles satin dress. I have to admit, it was a bit harder to move than I thought it would be. But, it was fun to dress up. I had a hand-sewed cape (thank you mom!) and a hand-made Beauty and the Beast light-up bag! Are any of you dressing up this year? Send me a comment with your costume photos or costume ideas! :)

Here is some real life Halloween news for you: A scientist performing research with a team in Antarctica had a little too much time on his hands with his partner. Given that they were in a pretty remote area, it makes sense that the pair would pass the time reading books. However, one of the scientists liked to ruin the endings of the books before his partner could finish the story. (Rude.) This led to his partner becoming angry and stabbing his former friend! He is now in custody for attempted murder, while his partner is recovering and probably still ruining endings for others. See more of the story here, via New York Post.

Moral of the story: Spending a lot of time with people can lead to pent up emotions. Don't ruin the endings of books for others and refrain from hurting others who do!
