The Thirty-one Delights of Halloween

I have decided to do something special this year for Halloween, basically for the entire month of October.  I am going to try to get back to my root interests and exploring them for the entire month.  This is doubly fortunate as many of my interests fit perfectly into this month.  First off, I will finally read a very long backlog of books on the supernatural that I had been getting, but was too buy to actually read.  That starts next Monday.  I was just so busy with other things, such as school, that I just put them off.  That goes for the fourteen role-playing game PDFs that I have so far gotten this year.  I've been speed-reading/skimming them for a few months now, but I just started to actually try reading one of the newest batch.  This is part of the second phase of the month.  I was fortunate enough to buy one of the newer physical books that somehow got released earlier this year and I missed it.  I'm hoping to get the other book that came out with my next book order.  Fifty dollars retail is lot to shell out, but at least the PDF is free, if the technical issues have been worked out.  I haven't tried to download the last one yet.  Next for the month, I plan on writing in my literary blog again.  I'm thinking of starting a horror type short story and try to finish it before Halloween.  Another thing I'm planning is possibly start posting my ideas for in-game content.  It turns out that I could actually get paid for creating such stuff, if I ever get the confidence to post it for sale.  That part scares me, but it could open the door for freelance work, or even a job.  I am hoping to read actual books, too.  I'm going through the local libraries to get some newer books, as well as trying to sneak some latter books in series I've just started to read or had been waiting to finish up.  I'm serous into a few series, mostly fantasy but there are a few mysteries as well (I must admit that there are supernatural elements to them.). Okay, some of the series are aimed at kids, but I still like them.  Just because I'm an English major doesn't mean I don't like enjoying what I read, especially with the complicated nature of my further education.  Next to last, I will be trying to catch up on a few weirder television shows that will be returning.  There are so many shows that I am kind of interested in, but I always forget to watch them, especially when their time slots change.  Give me a standardized schedule of the haphazard designs currently favored.  Lastly, there is the actual plans for Halloween.  I have already decorated my store, Booknotes, in its traditional mash up of styles.  I don't decorate at home.  In three weeks, I will be picking out this year's selection of candy.  I used to get blends that favored my likes of fruit-flavored candies, but I have cut way back on the sweets I the past few years, so I get smaller bags leaning more towards chocolate.  That way, fewer pieces left over to tempt me.  Of course, the first step is to announce these plans on my blog here, even if it is a day earlier than usual.
