"Read A Novel That Has An Adjective In The Title That Relates To Halloween...I.E. Spooky, Creepy, Crawly, Scary etc."Dead is itself an adjective, so I'd think it would be fine.
Yes, Cynthia has said 'dead' is fine! I'm using Definitely Dead for that task :)
I saw lots of folks with Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich, too.Although now I'm tempted to try the first Sookie Stackhouse mystery (Dead Until Dark) since "dead" is okay too!
thanks a book on my tbr already : ) LOL
How about White is for Witching A Novel? Witching can be both an adjective and a noun? If not then I will just read Plum Spooky, but this book has been on my to read shelf for a while and I would like to read it...

I had planned on using Wicked--As in Something Wicked This Way Comes (How had I never read this book?)

I love her!! I still CANNOT BELIEVE that Pushing Daisies got cancelled! I was SOOOO MAD!!! (Still am, really...) They should move the show over to USA. Characters Welcome... ;)

I'm going to read Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

for this task.
I was thinking about re-reading "Harry Potter and the DEATHLY Hallows" for this task -- think that'll work?
Evil is definitely acceptable, 13th not so much, but deathly is fine.

Donna Jo wrote: "Melissa wrote: "I'm going to read Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West[image error] for this task."..."I agree Donna Jo. I started reading that and I just didn't get what all the fuss was about. I haven't seen the musical because of it, but maybe I should check it out.
Lindsey wrote: "Donna Jo wrote: "Melissa wrote: "I'm going to read Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West[bookcover:Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West|37442..."The musical has a totally different feel and focus. It's not as dark and gritty as the book. I've seen Wicked twice--and I've never seen The Wizard of Oz. (and I live in Kansas now!)
Just double checking that it's cool to use either 'supernatural' or 'undead' for this challenge, both are adjectives and nouns. I'm not sure what I'm going to read yet, but I want to keep my options open.
Donna Jo wrote: "Melissa wrote: "I'm going to read Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West[image error] for this task."..."I'm hoping I like this book. It was once my mom's copy and she said she just couldn't get into it.
I was hoping to read it's sequel for task 5.1 if I end up liking Wicked.

Of course I'm not a big fan of OZ stuff or audiobooks so I thought that was why but maybe it's just that it isn't such a great book.
I think my problem with Wicked is the opposite of Cynthia's... I am a fan of Oz stuff, so when I tried to read Wicked I almost was offended at how poorly done it was. I never did make it through. I keep saying, "Someday..."
Will Bewitching work as an adjective for this task?
Would the book Ghosthunters And The Totally Moldy Baroness! work for this task? I wasn't sure if "Moldy" would be Halloween enough for an adjective
April wrote: "Will Bewitching work as an adjective for this task?"i had a similar question.....i'm wondering if i could use the word "bewitched?"
I would think bewitched would be okay... Moldy? Wow. No idea on that one!
