Hi Bluesky! I'm Secondhand Reads, a refugee from TikTok. Once a week, I review books that I got secondhand. Books from used bookstores, little libraries, regular libraries, and exchanges all count. I want to show the variety of books you can get used.

This week's book is Trick or Treat by Lisa Morton!
It's a mini-review due to time constraints, but I REALLY wanted to post this at the beginning of October.

Happy Dolly Day!

ALA is heartbroken at the passing of country music legend and literacy champion Dolly Parton.
Her Imagination Library initiative, inspired by her father's inability to read or write, has put millions of books into children's hands and was considered by her to be among her greatest achievements.

Seems like the Imagination Library site is getting swamped for obvious reasons… if you do want to donate and it’s down for you, wait a few minutes and try again (or even wait until tomorrow/later this week/later this month once their server isn’t slammed, long term support is always a good thing).
Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Tom Savini is a fucking legend. And he lost everything. His home. His beloved pets. His life's work - work that served as the foundation of the horror we hold most dear. There isn't the character count to list his legacy here. If you can, please consider donating.
