Promise Kept

 Michelle one of the fearless leaders at the Countdown to Halloween blog sent me a fab gift for naming the spider mascot.  I named him Boris the spider (creepy crawly).

She sent me a Halloween themed book called "Death of a Pumpkin Carver" - it is a food and cocktails mystery.

Glancing through, I already noticed a fun recipe for a pumpkin mojito.   So in addition to reading, I expect I will also be imbibing my way through!

Here is a little synopsis of the book on Goodreads:

"This Halloween, Hayley can’t imagine a worse trick than her ex-husband Danny returning to Bar Harbor. Her kids may be happy to see their dad, but Hayley’s determined not to be taken in by his charms, and suspects he’s in financial trouble—again.

Still, the haunted holiday is about to get a whole lot scarier after Danny’s moonshine-making uncle is found lying dead next to a tombstone in a cemetery—and Danny quickly becomes the prime suspect. To prove her ex is innocent, Hayley will have to dig deep into her own bag of tricks to unmask the real culprit . . . before anyone else—including her—ends up in the graveyard..."
