All Hallow's Read, My New Favorite Holiday

What do you think of when I say the word "Halloween?"  Ghosts and goblins, spirits galore, witches on broom sailing over full moon skies?  What if I told you you could think of all of that and books?

Author Neil Gaiman has come up with a great idea to share scary books on Halloween.  There are other holidays, many where you give gifts.  Share kindness and warmth on a cold Christmas.  Put your heart on your sleeve on Valentine's Day.  Show dad you can remember how to find the tie department on Father's Day.  But All Hallow's Read... that's where things get intimate.  Because what is more intimate than telling someone that something scares you?  Give the gift of what scares you this Halloween.

Go to the All Hallow's Read website or Neil Gaiman's journal entry to learn more.  Check out one of my favorite scary books, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.  Or watch the video below to learn more.
