It’s the final day of Blogtober and my last post comes from the Books Nest blog prompts! Usually I like to do quite a bit to celebrate Halloween, and Samhain. In past years I’ve done midnight rituals to cleanse for a new year and set intentions. I’ve decorated for Halloween and hosted parties to view […]
Month: October 2019

Something you would read curled up on the couch on a rainy day, drinking cups of tea and maybe listening to muted music. I get that emotional feeling from reading the Harry Potter series, […]
