BEDIO: Creative Dumping Ground #23 and Fortnight Fright begins!

As a Bookshop affiliate, I get a small commission if you purchase anything through the book links in this post.

Happy Sunday everybody! I hope you’ve been having an awesome weekend, and enjoying yourselves 😊

I haven’t done a Creative Dumping Ground in a while, so what better time to do it, then now? It will be kind of a shorter Creative Dumping Ground post, but I’ll be doing another one sometime in the near future 😉

Also, today is the first day of the Fortnight Frights reading challenge, which is hosted by the Artisan Geek over on Youtube! Woohoo!

So, I’ll go ahead and post my finalized TBR right here:

With an Undead Character: Was it a Dream? by Guy de Maupassant

A Short Story: The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe

A Poem: Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti

Written before 1960: The Bad Seed by William March (1954)

A Translated Piece: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk; Translated from Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones

A Horror Comic: Skull-Face Bookseller Honda-San by Honda San

Dark Fantasy: Lobizano by Romina Garber

Written by a Black/African Author: The Jumbies by Tracey Baptiste

My TBR had a few minor changes, but other than that, it’s pretty similar to what I talked about in my original post. If you want to participate as well, here is the bingo card:

So this is from when I did my Top Ten Tuesday post about book covers that give off fall vibes, although I didn’t end up using it in my post 🤷‍♂️ I’d been talking about The Year of the Witching a lot in my prior posts, and wanted to highlight other books I enjoyed or thought looked cool. I still love the picture though, and wanted to share it, so here it is!

In case you didn’t know, I play Animal Crossing 😅 I just finished paying off the last loan on my house, so now I can redecorate the outside of it for free once a day! Exciting! (Well, at least I think so 😂) Anyways, I decided to go ahead and make it Halloween themed, and so the picture on the left is the original, and the picture on the right is my spookified house (Is spookified a word? Maybe not for you, but it is for me).

I also have another picture from Animal Crossing I wanted to share, cause I think it’s pretty cool 👌 (Although, not fall related at all). It’s from the end of August when they were doing the fireworks shows every Sunday, and I just love how it looks like the balloon is exploding 😂

That’s about all I have for today! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and I will see you tomorrow with a new post!
