Cozy Up with Some Spooky Reads

Written by Published on Updated on December 12, 2025 in Halloween Desserts, Monthly Notes

Hey there foodie friends,

This isn’t a food post (I know, shocking! hehehe), but I couldn’t resist sharing something a little different today. Besides my love for food, I also love to read, and I have a feeling many of you do too.

There’s something about curling up with a good book with a slice of cake or a warm cup of coffee by your side, especially this time of year. And I have a feeling that many of you out there feel the same way! So, if you’re looking for something to get you into the Halloween spirit (without having to clean flour off your counters afterward, hahahhah), my lovely friend Athina her blog is http://kickingbackthepebbles.com has put together a great list of Halloween-themed books that you’ll definitely enjoy.

You can check out her post here https://www.kickingbackthepebbles.com/six-more-books-to-read-before-halloween-2025/.  Trust me, these reads are the perfect treat for a cozy October evening.  Halloween isn’t just about costumes and treats; it’s also the perfect time to curl up with a good book!

Whether you’re into ghosts, pumpkins, or just a good story on a rainy October night, you’ll definitely find a new favorite.  Please pop over to Athina’s blog; you might fall in love with it like I have. :).

Thank you, everyone!!

Tomorrow I will be sharing Athina’s  Almond Cupcake Post.  🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece.My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural.In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it.Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits.So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes.Sophie
