slight delays in getting my first three days of posts published due to technical issues of which were resolved on the 20th of October; starting on Day Four I will be back-posting the first three days & continuing forward on Day Four with more confidence in the event! i appreciate everyone’s patience!
Finally have a computer & a blog that are not vexing me something fierce! Programmers save the non-tech #bookbloggers a LOT of angst! Cheers

List |Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Want to Start (within my focus of Horror October!)
{ 22nd of October } Day Five through { 27th October 2014 } Day Ten:
Unfortunately for me, I ran into a few glitches that disrupted my Horror October experience, although I did manage to continue with my project but on a smaller scale despite the absence from being online. For starters, I couldn’t visit other book bloggers in the project due to having limited connectivity as my internet was acting wonky as much as my technical issues with my computer prevented me from being able to blog and/or sort out how to login to Twitter. I had to scrap most of my ideas for this year’s event and I’m moving forward with the last few days with continuing where my readings have been taking me and also to bring a few added surprises to those who have kept with me! :)
I also succumbed to a sledgehammer of a migraine the past three days which erupted out of nowhere due to a stress trigger I was not expecting and therefore, fell behind even further. I had to re-schedule my ChocLitSaturdays as well, as to be honest, between the tech issues and a migraine, sometimes you just have to throw in the towel!
Today’s Events & continuing: { 28th of October 2014 } Day Eleven:
Reading Reflections on the Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton
{ 29th October 2014 } Day Twelve:
Review: The Anatomist’s Wife by Anna Lee Huber
