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.
Or it's an excuse to say that this month's author visitor is the queen of the glitter, the mistress of magic, the captain of crazy...
LISA MANTCHEV!
With that said and done, ya ready to hear what I'm giving away this month?
And yes, the normal rules apply. Those rules being...

Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie CompanionMark 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.
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 PrincessEsther 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.

Awesome! Please enter me. I honestly don't know yet. I was going to go as Katniss from The Hunger Games, but I'm not sure how I'm going to do it. I'm now thinking about Beavis or a banana, but I don't know.

Wait...where are the fairies? When you said that you were featuring Lisa Mantchev? Eyes Like Stares? Cause that would be awesome.

Well, I'm still not sure if I'm going out for Halloween or not, but if I do decide to go out, I think I'll probably be something simple, maybe Peter Pan (meaning dressed in green, and a pan on my head with a "Hello My Name Is...PETER PAN" sticker stuck to the pan). But like I said, I'm not sure if I"m going out or not, depends on if my friends go out or not, I guess.

I don't think Halloween is as big here in Australia as it is over in the States. I'm not dressing up this year, but I WOULD go as Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter. I don't have the blonde hair to pull off Luna Lovegood, so Bellatrix it is! Who doesn't want to dress up as a deranged and deadly powerful psycho witch who's in love with a not-so-pretty, loveless wizard who daily plots ways to kill a teenage boy ;)

Currently, I have no idea. My friend wants to be jesus though (and she's a girl, so I'm not sure how it will work out). I'm thinking being a super awesome Jedi Knight girl would be cool. If I had a light sabor, that is...
I'm not exactly sure. I faerie would be fun. Though I'm thinking maybe Kahlan from the Sword of Truth Series.

I'm planning on dressing up as a mime because I was inspired by the movie Paris, Je T'aime :D

I would love to own Shiver! But, sadly I’m so poor that I spent most of my summer nights standing in the bookstore and reading until they closed. LOL. I havn’t even READ Shiver yet!! I’m getting so desperate that I've been considering mugging somebody for it lately. LOL.

I would LOVE to go as Elphaba from WICKED the musical, but I don't think I can find the right costume for that. So I'll probably just wear an old play costume and put some makeup on.

Well, I rarely do anything for Halloween anymore these days. However, when I was younger, I once went as Sailor Mercury from Sailor Moon. XD Terrific contest! I particularly want Nobody's Princess. It sounds so good and I've wanted it for quite sometime.
