    Happiest of Fridays, Boils and Ghouls, and what a magical connection this post has to a very scary number… 😈

    That means you must subscribe…

    And maybe I’ll add this here for some protection, just in case 🧿

    Heh, in all seriousness though… I thought it would be a cute & creepy coincidence? 😈 to post a blog on a new style I had in mind for my foreseeable future, since the dark energy would seemingly be at such a high climatic peak during this time…

    But first!

    Your Spooky Mom Elli

    Fellow Fabler and spooky book lover Elli owns my soul when it comes to expressing your spooky self online.

    I love her Sunday Scaries vols. posts & the spooky vibes she puts into all of her dark & gothic content πŸ–€

    Style Inspiration: Demonic Chic πŸ–€

    Think: emo… dark… moody… meets this edgy… chic… rock aesthetic- connected together but the powerful forces of horror elements and dark demonic energy πŸ–€πŸ™ˆ

    I feel as though combining textures (i.e., leather, lace, satin, etc.) and darker, edgy patterns really ties this style together & harnesses the dark power it holds!

    Places To Shop For Demonic Chic πŸ›οΈ

    DollsKill

    I am OBSESSED with all the brands on Dollskill but there’s one in particular (Widow) that I find is so fitting for all that demonic chic inspiration!

    The black, the crosses, the lace and also those gothic vibes playing in all these different items… it’s perfect for reigning those hellish chic looks on the town, and definitely worth browsing to see if you can find some pieces to add to your collection for this type of style!

    Disturbia

    While I personally haven’t ordered from Disturbia before, I have spent hours browsing their site and swooning over the many pieces that would be perfect for that demonic chic aesthetic.

    If you’ve ordered from here before, let us know about your experience in the comments! πŸ’¬

    I’d be so curious to see what the shipping experience is like to Canada (and also, finally own a gorgeous dress from Disturbia 🀩)

    Hot Topic & Spencer’s

    So Hot Topic & Spencer’s, while being two separate stores, are sorta one in the same for me… as they are located right beside each other at my local shopping center, but in all seriousness, I find they’re the best places to get Horror graphic tees and Pop culture merchandise!

  • Meet Libra the Kobo eReader

    ,

    Oh Happy Friday, Boils and Ghouls! πŸ’€

    I’m so glad you’re back here again for another frightful weekend of chit-chats and ghoulishness… and you just happen to be right on time to meet a very special guest tonight πŸ™Š

    Meet Libra β™Ž

    My new eReader!

    I’ve decided that I’m keeping the name Libra as it also happens to be my horoscope and feels like it suits the device well… my balance of writing and reading πŸ€“

    At the moment, I still haven’t purchased the Kobo Stylus 2, but I’m definitely planning on getting it soon for annotating eBooks and journaling in the summer months!

    Wanna see a really cool feature you can do with the Kobo Libra? πŸ‘€

    Then keep scrolling…

    Custom Cover Art 🎨

    Instead of having the last book you’ve read on the front, you can actually create your own customized cover art and add it to your screensaver folder on your Kobo 🀯

    Personally created by yours truly, via Canva

    It was really easy to do and took only a few minutes to edit/adjust the sizing TIP: make sure your resolution is 1264×1680 for the Libra to fill the screen!

    My XP With Libra πŸ—’οΈ

    Positives πŸ“ˆ

    I’m finding it actually easier to read longer books (both physically and psychologically) as I’m not as intimidated by the amount of pages or whether it will only be available in hardcover (which is just not my jam atm πŸ™ˆ)

    Also, it’s incredibly travel friendly as you’re able to take numerous books with you, anywhere you’d like, AND like previously stated, you get to customize the cover to be however you wish & the User Interface for the Kobo Libra Colour is just super sleek.

    With a smooth, paper-feel to the screen, easy to use buttons and weighted perfectly to be easily held without fatigue- it’s the best purchase I’ve made for my continuous reading habits!

    Neutrals 😐

    I am very grateful that I’m able to check out local library ebooks using Overdrive, however I really wish it used the Libby app over Overdrive πŸ™ˆ I’m a big fan of Libby’s User Interface and honestly prefer it over Overdrive’s, but hey, beggars cannot be choosers when it comes to what options are available!

    Up Next to Explore πŸ”¬

    I still haven’t gotten a chance to explore Kobo PLUS and on my initial impression, it didn’t amaze me like I thought it would… I’m very glad I received a free trial, but the categories were vague and of course, just not that friendly to horror lovers (e.g., there’s no way to search just for Horror genre)

    you can search by categories of various genres on Kobo Plus… just not Horror exclusively

    … Oh, I still haven’t discovered how to use the Audiobook/Bluetooth sync feature yet, but… in time πŸ™ˆ

      Ah thank you for mentioning my post! πŸ–€ The Kobo Stylus 2 is definitely worth it if you plan on using the notebook feature. I use it a lot for planning and taking notes while I’m reading. ☺

        I was so excited when you made that post talking about the Send to Kobo update 🀩 and can’t wait to get my Stylus, to do exactly the same thing!
        Wishing you such a wonderful weekend, and so grateful for YOUR content πŸ–€
