HAP-POE HALLOWEEN-Come See The Giveaway I Won!!! It's Spooktacular!

Do you LOVE 

Edgar Allen Poe?

Did you read him when you were young

and find his stories horrifically macabre?

I did!

I think I was about 10 or 11 when I read

THE RAVEN

for the first time

(ah-maybe THAT is what's wrong with me)

and from there I went on to  

The Telltale Heart and

The Pit & The Pendulum.

and then the rest of his works.

Well, guess what?!?!

I WON a book that contains four of his best stories!

It has POP UPS

 I signed up for this give away over at

Vera's Row Homes & Cobblestones Blog

I hardly ever sign up for giveaways because I 

am so richly blessed already...

but...POE?

Oh!  I had to do it.

Now-not only did Vera send the book~

You should SEE the packaging!

Sadly, you can't!

Why?  WELL-because I was 

SO EXCITED to get this baby that I 

TORE ALL THE WRAPPINGS OFF

before I photographed it.

I know- 

BAD BLOGGER!

But here is what was in the package.

I tried to neaten it up a bit for you.

Two copies of his original works on velum.

The Raven & Annabel Lee.

and oh- Vera made wonderful tags

and there were cards in the package-

The pops up are quite "spooky"

Thank you SO much, Vera!

This is a GREAT addition to my library.

I am reading it tonight.

I have been saving it for 

HALLOWEEN!

My 12 year old grandgirl, Lulu, 

was here and asked if she could read

The Telltale Heart.

I let her.

She said- Well, that is weird, spooky.

Not scary spooky like movies today.

You got that right, Lulu.

There will never be another

EDGAR ALLEN POE.

He was scary before scary was cool.

Personally, I think he is a little 

SCARY LOOKING 

myself...but that is just a personal opinion.

Hap-POE Halloween to you.

Watch out for 

THE RAVEN

that might be over your head 

while you are out and about.
