How I Decide What to Read Next #L&SR’s Wednesday Blogging Challenge
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge October 28, 2020, How I Decide What to Read Next? Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cauldron. Take your choice of a bat wing Chocolate Chip or Pumpkin, or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate.
Pssst… One more thing! I’m participating in a Spooktacular FB Halloween Party October 29, 2020. There will be prizes, giveaways, games, and fun. You don’t want to miss it. My time is from 3-4 CDT that’s 2-3 p.m. MDT, but the party continues through October 30th Click here to join the party on October 29st: I’ll see you there!
How I decide what to read next. I’m very eclectic about my choices, depends on my mood, the season, and the weather. If it’s the holidays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years, those are the books I want to read. A spooky but not to scary, yep, I’m a wimp, story for Halloween. Cheerful, heartwarming stories for Thanksgiving and Christmas. New beginning for New Year. Then, I’ll take a look at all the covers, then the blurbs and decide what to read. Of course I have my review list and that comes first in the order I received them. Even then sometimes, depending on the due date, I’ll let a cover or blurb sway me. LOL So there you have it, how I decide what to read next. I just finished is A Switch in TIme and am starting Ghost Machine.
How do you decide what to read next? Please post it in the comments!

“It feels like all the air is being sucked out of this room.” His brother’s face turned ashen white as Beth’s ghostly form took shape in the center of the room.
Brock moved to the little group gathered and glanced at the grandfather clock standing in the hallway. Fifteen minutes until midnight. The witching hour on All Hallows Eve. A nervous chuckle rose up in his throat. How cliche. His brother would be a believer after this night.
He cleared his throat and wrapped an arm around Gwen’s waist. “Can we help you, Beth?” Misfit’s howling could be heard clearly from the upstairs bedroom.
“No, but I hope we can help you.” Ghost Beth glanced back at the painting and sadly shook her head. “The ghost of Judge John Hathorne stands outside ready to curse or worse all those involved in sullying his reputation. The house stands between all of you…protecting—” The ghost’s hand and arm made a sweeping motion toward their group, “— against his magic ability.”
A soft almost hysterical giggle burst from Gwen. “Doesn’t he know that by his actions this night, he has not only outed himself but proved the rumors and article are true?”
“I don’t believe he’s considered that point.” Beth’s ghostly grim face twitched into a half-smile. “He’s bent on revenge, but apparently had trouble passing through the veil this evening.” She pointed to the clock and then laid a finger on her lips.
Thanks for popping in. I really appreciate it. Next week, November 4, 2020, can you believe it? Thanksgiving is nearly here. Anyway, next week’s blogging challenge topic is Favorite Songs or Musicians. That should be interesting. Until then have fun, stay safe, and never let the world get you down!

I pick what tickles my fancy. Might be a ghost story right now, might be the RBG bio (which was great). So there we go. It has to grab me. 🙂
Yep, read what feels good. Thanks for stopping by Megan!
I love spooky Halloween stories, too!
FYI, your link to this post on Long and Short Review’s site seems to be broken.
Huh, I just checked it and the page came up. Maybe it was just taking its sweet time. THanks for stopping by Lydia!
To me, it all comes down to what grabs my attention, unless (like you said) I have a review due…lol. My post is here: http://jhthomas.blogspot.com/2020/10/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge-how.html
Thanks for stopping by Judy! Looks like a lot of us read what grabs our attention. LOL !
Mine is very much dependent on what I’m currently in the mood for – which can be seasonal, but more often is vague and personal. (I did write out a more detailed answer here.)
Ghost Machine looks interesting; I’ll have to go check it out. (I think we’re going to have a family movie night for the old Brendan Frasier Mummy movies to get us through no-contact Halloween this year… as you say, spooky but not too scary.)
Yep, spooky not scary is the way this no-contact Halloween will go. A little sad. Thanks for sharing. I checked out your list. Glad you stopped by Michael!
To a certain extent, we’re all mood readers. Thanks for coming by.
I have to agree after reading everyone’s replies. Thanks for stopping by Patrick!
I’m definitely a mood and seasonal reader, Tena. In fact, I’m shocked I don’t have a vampire novel in my to-read pile. Yet guess what I’m starting today? Hidden Gypsy Magic! Have a fabulous week!
I like a good ghost story.
I haven’t read many holiday themed books, actually. I’ll read a ghost story any time of year.
A good blurb always gets me too, not to mention a beautiful cover.
