Hey edgy witches and spooky bitches, it’s finally October! I’ve got so much Halloween content coming up. But, as tradition states, the start of the month has to be what I’m looking forward to throughout this month.
Please note, there are a few Halloween events I’m reviewing! I will mention these in my Halloween in London post but for this post, I’m shying away from Halloween-specific things.
THE BOOK
What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera sounds like a pretty refreshing take on a modern romance novel. It follows Arthur and Ben attempt to get together but struggle with the first, second and third date. Arthur tries to hard…and Ben, not enough. It’s a frank look at modern relationships. Back in the days of our parents and grandparents, it was so easy and people settled young. Whereas now, some people do seperate simply because one fights for the relationship more! I like that the main characters are gay too and this is the first time a romance novel about two gay characters has come to my attention (although I’m sure there are many) – so I’m excited to read this.
What If It’s Us will be published on the 9th.
THE NETFLIX SERIES
Whilst I’m still not used to the idea of a Sabrina The Teenage Witch reboot, the fact that The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina is going in a much, much darker direction makes me happy.I haven’t been following many of the details of the show but I know it looks awesome judging by the trailer. Plus it’s set in the same universe of Riverdale, which I couldn’t help but love. Plus it drops just in time for Halloween…
The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina will be available from the 26th.
THE GIG
October is Oxjam month and because being a magazine editor, contributing to music websites and running my own blog apparently isn’t enough responsibility for me..I’ve decided to attempt to put on my own gig. I have a huge passion for unsigned talent – and supporting independent venues too – so it’s a no brainer really. The gig will take place on Halloween (whoop!) at MK11 Live Music Venue in Milton Keynes. Know any local artists who want to play? Let me know..!
THE MOVIE
I do love a bad boy and I especially love Tom Hardy. I thought it would be weird crushing on him in Venom but I heard he’s actually a sort of anti-hero as opposed to a total bad guy, aka making it acceptable to still sort of fancy him? Anyway, I don’t know much about the character of Venom apart from his appearance in Spider-Man 3 but the trailer makes it look amazing. Now I just have to find someone to come and see it with me..!
Venom will be released on the 5th October.
ANYTHING ELSE?
I’ll be constantly updating my Halloween guide throughout the month so if you know of anything awesome going on in London this October, let me know! Tweet me at @Lady_Louise_ or email me directly at Louise.Joy@hotmail.com. The quirkier the better…
What are you looking forward to this October? Let me know!
