Won
I’m so bad, but I don’t even know how I won this but I’m happy I did. Touching Fate sounds pretty good and that mask is freaking awesome! I’m going to use it for my next Halloween costume.
For Review
I am on the blog tour for Blood in Her Veins. This book is freaking thick. 540 pages. Me and my mom guessed how many pages it was before I looked. She guessed 430 and I guessed 560. Bwahahaha! Can’t beat a reader at that game.
What books did you get this week? Have you read any of the ones I got?
Halloween Wedding Pictures! Finally!
Yes, I finally went through my Halloween wedding photos. Yay me. Now these are unedited because I am super lazy and….that’s it. So, without further ado… Oh wait, did I ever mention that my friend and I got turned away from the actually wedding ceremony because they said we were not on the list? It was held at a gated community so they took who they let in very seriously. Yeah, can you believe that shit? The whole story is long and tedious, but in the end we were on the list but by the time they figured that out the ceremony was over. So I only have pictures of the reception. I still had a fun time. Again, without further ado… Oh wait…just kidding.
This is me as the Ninja Turtle Donatello. Yes, I’m fat, now you all know my secret. LMAO. I had that walking stick I’m holding since I was 9 or 10 from a forest camping trip. I love my big stick! And yes, I have a turtle shell backpack on.
This is the wedding cake. It was delish!
The table set-up. The Bridesmaids were dressed up like troll dolls (like the one on the table) but they took off their hair for the reception so no pics. Sorry.
The candy and wedding favor table! That’s my friend I went with getting her candy on!
The Bride and Groom. Such cool outfits, right?
Naughty, naughty. Get that garter!
The Groomsmen were dressed up in Dumb and Dumber suits. Hilarious!
These were the people I was sitting next too. The black haired girl and blond guy are a couple and actually dress in goth in normal life. Cool, huh?
Some fun outfits to peruse.
The Groom’s parents. Now these are cool costumes!
The Viking family.
The Superhero family.
The Pirate family.
Dancing in fog!
And these are two of my favorite costumes of the night. Beetlejuice won the costume contest!

Awesome weekend. It looks like the Halloween Wedding Pictures were awesome. It looks like you had a lot of fun at the reception though. Love the costumes. ARC’s are awesome to get.

Thanks, I did have a great time.
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
Really, you weren’t accepted inside until the ceremony was over? I’m glad the reception was so good you got over that quickly, Jennifer!
I love your Donatello costume! I love the ninja turtles 🙂 And there are lots of amazing costumes there – what a fun way to celebrate a wedding!
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
I love the ninja turtles too. I actually like Michelangelo better but I had the stick already and it went with Donatello, lol.

My niece said to tell you that your costume is so cool. She is being nosey this morning while I’m checking my email. That girl loves those turtles! She swears she’s April. Happy weekend!
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
Aww, tell your niece thanks!

It really was.

Even the parents wore a costume, that is so cool ! And I see you wore Japanese socks ^^ It must have been such fun even if you, sadly, missed the actual wedding 🙂
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
I tried to make the socks look like turtle feet. 🙂

The fog was so cool. But so hot too!

Ahhh it’s been so long since i visited you (or anyone in the blogosphere really) I’ve missed you and your awesome reviews and regular bookish posts! i love the photos and originality of the night!
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
Hey, long time no visit. Thanks for stopping by.
Christy
Ha – you don’t remember where you won it from. Omg, that looks like it was a lot of fun. And you’re rockin the shell. Dude, that freaking hilarious about your stick. I have a bamboo stick I found by the river when I was 15 and still have it. It’s been used. lol
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
OMG, that is so cool. I love things like that that bring back good memories of childhood.
Laura Thomas
What a fun idea. I was hoping Beetleguise would be there. I watch that movie every chance I get! And I love your costume. T U R T L E POWER – turtles rule! LOL
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
hehe. I love Beetlejuice so much. I am so obsessed with that movie.

Love your costume. That is so cool the parents even dressed up and looked awesome. Never went to a Halloween Party but looked like all had a great time.
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
The other parents dressed up as fighter pilots. It was really cool they both dressed up so much.
Melliane
It looks like a great event and I love the cake! happy reading lady!
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
The cake was very cool in person.
Kristin
That’s awesome. Actually.. everything about this damn post is awesome! Winning that huge prize pack that you don’t even remember entering, getting Blood in her Veins, and that Halloween wedding! I love it! It sucks that you missed the ceremony but at least they let you in for the reception. I’m sure someone has a video of the ceremony that you can watch. 🙂 If we are being honest here though, the reception is where all the fun is at anyways. 😉
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
LOL, I know, the reception is always the best part, I just didn’t mention that to my friend who invited me. hehe
Nathan
I loved the pic’s and the costumes are great. I have never been to a Halloween party but it sure looked like fun there, even if you missed the ceremony. Even the parents dressed up! You got Blood in her Veins and won a prize pack. I never win anything. I hope you have a great week ahead:)
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
I feel like I never win anything then all of a sudden I go on winning streaks. it’s weird.
Maria Behar
Ohhhhh, you’re in the blog tour for “Blood In Her Veins”! I’m going to be checking that out! It’s also GREAT that you won such a nice prize pack!
Your Ninja Turtle costume is SO cool! And the walking stick is a nice touch!
Those Halloween wedding pics are hilarious!! I can see that everybody had a fabulous time! Very unique idea, too! Lol.
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
Every one had a great time, even the kids. I am excited to be in the Blood in Her Veins tour. 🙂
anna (herding cats & burning soup)
omg that looks like an amazing time! That’s crazy they wouldn’t let you in. Glad yall made it to the reception!
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
Seriously, what did they think we were there for?? I guess we could have been wedding crashers. Hmmmm
Anna
That is the wildest thing I’ve ever seen. I bet that was quite the celebration. Congrats to the bride and groom. 🙂

They had the best time, laughing and enjoying every moment. So cute.
Jaclyn Canada
That looks like sooooo much fun! I love the Donatello costume and even better that your feet are even perfect. The flip flop and sock idea was spot on. I love all the geekdom that is happening all over the place! Love that the parents dressed up. I bet you had a blast.
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
hehe, when I thought of the socks and flip flops I was like GOLD!!!
Andrea Heltsley
I’m so glad you won the Touching Fate pack from my giveaway! I LOVED the book! Also, great job with the arc! Looks like you had a great Halloween!
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
OMG, was it your giveaway? I seriously could not remember who it was from. Sorry about that.
