I hear you. ;)<br /><br />If they make a decent effort with their costume thing I'll give them candy. Actually, I'm a real softie. Even if you come to my house in jeans and a t-shirt and say "trick-or-treat," I might roll my eyes, but you'll still get something.

I too enjoyed through the years handing out candy(when visiting my parents because we never had trick-or-treaters), it was always fun to see the little ones. I drew the line at handing out candy to the high schoolers that would come around after everyone else had gone home to bed! Booo to electronics that don't work when we want them to! Hope all is well with your iPad now. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful rest of the blog tour! So happy I got to participate!!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190011785450338206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-47811982890725895842013-10-24T11:03:33.013-05:002013-10-24T11:03:33.013-05:00Julie, thanks so much for your lovely review and f...Julie, thanks so much for your lovely review and for being a part of the blog tour! I'm soooo glad you enjoyed Haunting Joy! And that you like the cover for Haunting Melody. That's nice to hear.<br /><br />Love the costume photos! I grew up trick-or-treating and dressing up in homemade costumes -- often cobbled together from thrift-store finds! ;) My favorite thing today is when the trick-or-treaters come up to my door. I love handing out candy, and I especially love seeing the little toddlers in the zipped-up, head-to-toe, footie-PJ costumes. So cute!<br /><br />Thanks to Amber too for introducing us and setting things up for the blog tour!<br /><br />PS I tried to comment earlier this morning but my iPad app crashed and ate my comment. Oh noooooo! ;)Lena Goldfinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231453806178233497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-53800026858762850902013-10-24T09:02:58.547-05:002013-10-24T09:02:58.547-05:00Thanks for stopping by Amber!

My parents have been to a few also :) Although they never said anything about ghosties, they did find them very interesting :) A local restaurant near us was recently featured on an OETA episode for being haunted. I missed it, but would have found it interesting I'm sure. You should check out the Skeleton Creek books by Patrick Carman, they are great YA ghost stories. Anyway, even though I am a nay-sayer like I said, I love a good ghost story! And yes yes yes Haunting Melody looks and sounds awesome! Can't wait!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190011785450338206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-91213285743217892732013-10-24T02:34:43.321-05:002013-10-24T02:34:43.321-05:00Great review, Julie!

Love the way you introduce the set-up of the story, as well as your careful break-down of the story elements. :) And doesn't <i>Haunting Melody</i> sound/look awesome?? <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing a little bit about your Halloween experiences, too! So fun. :) Those pictures are adorable! And I seriously have no idea where the time goes... *sigh*<br /><br />As for ghosts, my dad has some interesting stories about the times he visited ghost towns in Nevada (and California, I think?) with a friend! ;) <br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.com
