Eeeek!!! Exciting news!! As many of you know, I’m a huge scaredy cat (lol). Not such exciting news, you think? Well, you’re wrong! My wonderful friend running the blog Bookish Creation and I are doing our first collab together!! And it is for HALLOWEEEEEN!!!! To be perfectly honest with you, I’m kind of torn about Halloween. As I’ve said, I’m basically scared of everything (lol), but at the same time I’m very fascinated with supernatural stuff. And also, you can’t really outrun Halloween, can you? So I’m going to take part in the festivities – just in my own terms! (Now finally I will actually be revealing the exciting news – I promise, so read on!)

Bookish Creation and I will dress up as six different characters each from books we love, meaning we will write six blog posts each during the time leading up to Halloween. These posts will contain hints about who we dressed up as – and It’s your job to take the clues and guess what character we are each day! There are six costumes for each blog, so you’ll need to find 12 answers in total. The person who guesses the most costumes correctly will win a blog or book interview on each blog! Don’t worry, everything is explained again in the form that you will find over on the Bookish Creation website! (You’ll need the form to take part in the game, or you can send an email with all the 12 answers – 6 for The Artsy Reader and 6 for Bookish Creation – to bookishcreation@gmail.com. Deadline is the 2nd of November!)

So, let’s start with the first costume!! And Happy (and spooky) Halloween!

Costume 1

“Sometimes I’m here, sometimes I’m not. Sometimes I’m half hear and half there, but then again, sometimes I leave only my most remarkable feature behind.

I have sharp teeth and long claws, so you could think I’m dangerous, but all I do really is grin and spread my wisdom and advice. I’m not human, but I do exist. Or do I? I may not play a big role in the story you can find me in, but almost everyone knows me.

Am I not making sense? Well, maybe I’m mad… but let me tell you a secret: All the best people are! 

Who am I?”

a) Hedwig from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
b) The Cheshire Cat from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
c) Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White
d) Piglet from Winnie-the-Pooh

You know the right answer? Yay!! So take a note of that and watch out for the next 5 costumes I’ll be dressing up as, and also head on over to Bookish Creation and find out her 6 costumes in the build-up to Halloween. When you have collected the 12 right answers, fill out the form on her site or send an email with the 12 correct answers until the 2nd of November at the latest to bookishcreation@gmail.com

We hope you have lots of fun!!! Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog and Bookish Creation so you don’t miss any of our costumes!
