I feel like jet lag has sucker punched me in the face, so no review today. In honor of Halloween next week, however, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about a tradition begun by Neil Gaiman (I believe it was last year, but I may be misremembering). He suggested that people find a scary book to give to a friend, a child, a co-worker, a trick-or-treater – anyone, really – just to bring a little book lovin’ to the holiday.

Here’s the link where Neil himself will tell you all about it. I only gave away one book last year, but I’m hoping to find a couple of good children-appropriate scary stories to hand out this year to the kids who come to our door. Don’t worry though – I’ll also have candy. I wouldn’t dream of depriving a child of the right to free chocolate on this special night…
