October is finally here!!!

Which means Halloween lovers everywhere can finally let their freak flag fly.

But it also means we have to wait until the last thirteen days of October to see the good Halloween movies on Freeform.

And if you're as busy as I am, then you'll probably end up missing a lot of them anyway.

But if you're looking for something to get you into the Halloween spirit while you're on the run here are some graphic novels that are quick reads and will definitely get you in the spirit:


1. Nightmares and Fairy Tales by Serena Valentino

Spooky twists on beloved fairy tales, this graphic novel follows a doll named Annabelle who is aware of her existence. However every owner that Annabelle has ever had has come to a tragic demise or has had something terrible happen to them. We follow Annabelle’s journey living with Snow White and see a twisted take on the classic tale. This novel has beautiful illustration, and will definitely get you in the season’s spirit with it’s constant horror filled twists and turns.


2. Courtney Crumin by Ted Naifeh

Sassy one-liners and constant grumbling are just a few things that make the Courtney Crumrin series great. After moving to a new town to live with her great Uncle Aloysius she discovers some rather unusual books on witchcraft. Soon she finds out that her new town isn’t as boring as she thought. Did I mention the artwork is down right breath- taking?

3. Deepest Darkest Fears by Fran Krause


A book completely about fears that people have confessed at one point or another, what could get you more in the Halloween spirit? This book has fears ranging from silly, like the one most people have of letting a body part hang off their bed while they sleep, to down right scary. Probably one of the more mind melting ones that makes you really think involves believing one is in a coma and that their life has been a dream. My only recommendation is that you don’t read this one too late at night.

4. Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol


Anya is your average teenage girl trying to fit in at school. It doesn't make it easy that everyone views her as weird because of her Russian heritage. Things change for Anya when she falls down a well and meets a girl named Emily that died there years ago. Although hesitant at first Anya becomes fast friends with Emily, but soon things begin to change. As things begin to shift in their relationship making Anya question Emily's true intentions.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
