HAPPY OCTOBER!

As this month's contest will end on Halloween, I find it only appropriate that this month be all about those other worldly creatures! Faeries, werewolf, vampires - I love them all.

Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion
Mark Cotta Vaz

Everything fans want to know about the hotly anticipated Twilight movie and much more!

Designed as a celebration of the film, this lavishly illustrated paperback edition is an exclusive behind-the-scenes guide featuring full-color photos of the cast, locations, and sets, as well as storyboards, interviews, details of the special effects, and much more.
For all you fans of the sparkly vampires.

Peeps & The Last Days
Scott Westerfeld
A year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested in meeting girls and partying than in attending biology class. Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal's life.

Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly horrifying effect on its host. Cal himself is a carrier, unchanged by the parasite, but he's infected the girlfriends he's had since Morgan. All three have turned into the ravening ghouls Cal calls Peeps. The rest of us know them as vampires. It's Cal's job to hunt them down before they can create more of their kind...
I love Peeps - it's sequel, The Last Days, isn't as amazing, but it's a fantastic series nonetheless for those who like a different type of vampire. (Like a non sparkling kind.)

Nobody's Princess
Esther Friesner

She is beautiful, she is a princess, and Aphrodite is her favorite goddess, but something in Helen of Sparta just itches for more out of life. Not one to count on the gods—or her looks—to take care of her, Helen sets out to get what she wants with steely determination and a sassy attitude. That same attitude makes Helen a few enemies—such as the self-proclaimed "son of Zeus" Theseus—but it also intrigues, charms, and amuses those who become her friends, from the famed huntress Atalanta to the young priestess who is the Oracle of Delphi.
And then we have our kick ass princess, the top to every Halloween cake!

Question?
What are you going/would you go as for Halloween?

We've got faeries, vampires, and princesses! And, if you're smart, you'll do yourself a favor and buy Shiver and get me a picture of the receipt for an extra plus five entries. (Or just a picture of you with the book in, like, your kitchen or someplace not a bookstore. I'm not picky.)

Subtly throwing that in there, no?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN. Well. Almost.
