Halloween Countdown Begins!

October is here.

In honour of its arrival, I have loads of goodies planned to celebrate.

First, I've joined the fun on Countdown to Halloween, a collection of bloggers who are vowing to blog about our beloved holiday everyday for the month of October. All month, you'll be able to get to their main site through the newly added badge at the bottom right of my homepage. So welcome to any new readers joining me for the first time! Take a look around. Hopefully you'll find some Halloween ideas to make your celebrations spookier this Halloween.

Second, what better way to celebrate the start of the season than with an image from Femke Hiemstra (pictured left)? Lovely, isn't it? Check out my previous post to learn more about the artist and enjoy some of her other work.

Third, I'm off today on a road trip in the country. I'm delivering a batch of books and then celebrating with a trip to a nearby Farmer's Market and winery (pumpkins and booze? Yes please).

Speaking of books (not booze), my last and final way to celebrate the start of October will be with a Ghoulish Giveaway. You can check out the details on my Brains Vs Coffee website.

Happy October 1st, everyone.
