Happy Halloween! Here are a few snapshots that I took at the Halloween party we threw over the weekend. I was really bad at taking out my camera, partly because I was busy playing hostess and partly because things were a bit hectic and I was worried that something might happen to it! Regardless, I did manage to snap a few pictures that night and the rest of my time was spent chatting, imbibing, and eating way too many pieces of candy. Can you guess what my costume is?
Tell me: What are your Halloween plans? Are you dressing up this year?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Your party looks really fun! I’m just heading out to a local bar for a Halloween party with a few friends…in my Baby Jane Hudson costume, which basically just looks like a Courtney Love costume but I’m doing it anyways!

Thank you Heather! Sounds like a good night- I had a very mellow Halloween too :)
few photos is always a good sign of a fun party.
i have no plans as usual. I forget halloween is even a holiday. I was like, oh that’s today?
Since our Halloween party was on Saturday, I was wondering why people were still talking about Halloween during the week. I was like “Didn’t Halloween already happen?!” hahah
Sorry I missed your party!!!! :(
No worries at all! Hope you had a good Halloween!
This looks like such a fun party!! Love that red dress on you too. – Katy
Thank you Katy! Hope you had a fun Halloween :)
