I haven’t hosted a blog party since February and with Halloween just around the corner I thought it would be a brilliant opportunity to create a space for the blogging community to share a few links from their blog and potentially meet new people. I always have a great time, with hundreds of links being shared, and it means that I get the chance to find new blogs to follow and catch up on some posts that I may have missed.
Welcome to my Halloween Blog Party!
For those of you who have never participated in a blog party before, here are the rules:
1. Choose your favourite post from your own blog. The subject of the post can be anything you like – blogging, food, parenting, life, travel, thoughts, photography… Note: This should be only one post at a time or it will get sent straight to the ‘spam’ folder but please don’t share more than three overall – spend the time visiting other bloggers instead.
2. Copy the URL
3. Paste the link in the comment section of this post.
4. Blog posts only please! No Amazon pages, YouTube, Spotify or Etsy promotion – I will delete these and any further links from anyone who ignores this.
5. Enjoy! Relax, pull up a chair and meet new people! Find new blogs, comment on their posts, be polite, courteous and respectful and don’t forget to follow, reblog, tweet, pin, stumble and share.
- You don’t have to follow me of any of my social media, but you’re welcome to!
- You don’t have to have been blogging for a specific amount of time or have to have a certain number of followers – everyone is welcome!
- You are also very welcome to invite your friends and you’re welcome to reblog this post too!
This is a really useful way of discovering new blogs, particularly if you have only just joined the blogging world – the general rule that I set myself when I participate is that I check out at least two or three other bloggers for every link that I leave.
Hope to see you there!
You can also find me on Twitter and Tumblr @suzie81blog, and don’t forget to check out my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/suzie81speaks, my Pinterest page http://www.pinterest.com/suzie81speaks and my Instagram page http://www.instagram.com/suzie81speaks.
Many thanks for your generosity in allowing me to share a post. Here is my poem, “The Clocks Have Gone Back”, https://newauthoronline.com/2016/10/30/the-clocks-have-gone-back/. Best wishes. Kevin

https://sthelensmaud.com/2016/10/21/halloween-old-school-baby/
You’re right, the first link doesn’t work. It looks like you used to have a lot of fun at this time of year.
Thanks for your comment xx
Your writing is hilarious. Loved the read. 🙂
Thanks Cookie Crumbs x
I loved this! x Rosy
I’m not sure my comment was posted, if so I’ll say it again: Loved this! x Rosy
Morning all. I discovered some really great blogs at the last party I attended, so I’m hoping to do the same today.
I’m a history blogger and this is a link to a post about women hunting in the fourteenth century – https://aprilmunday.wordpress.com/2016/05/15/a-bird-in-the-hand/
Fascinating read. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing!
Thank you.
As you know, Suzie, I am a real party animal (hmm…)
If I can get my Halloween post sorted in time, I’ll bring that to the party later. For now, though, here’s one about self-publishing that got a lot of attention a short while ago…
https://graemecumming.net/2016/10/05/no-rules/
I love all these great new blogs I get to follow!
So glad you’re enjoying it!
Hey! This link takes you to a create New Post page. 🙂
Ooh thanks -I’ll delete this one…
Sigh!
Great party Suzie! I hope everyone is having an awesome Haloweekend (that’s a thing now by the way). My head is still a bit fuzzy from spending last night out in the middle of the cold, dark woods watching an outdoor screening of The Blair Witch Project! It was fab! I’ll be sure to mingle with all you little monsters over the next 24 hours! Steve
Have you got a link my lovely?
Oh yes. Here’s the first of a series of posts about my adventures in driving since I passed my test in February. Word of warning to everyone – if you see me on the road, run – run for the hills!! https://steve-says.net/2016/10/16/adventures-in-driving-the-first-day-of-the-hire-car/
After following your driving adventures online, I’m inclined to agree haha!
Haha – and you’ve only heard a few of them…there’s so much more lol
Ha ha so funny Steve, good read. I’ve given you a follow x
Thanks! Just make sure you don’t follow me in a car haha 🙂
Halloween? What could be scarier than, um, bell ringing? Seriously–sort of. This is about bell ringers’ injuries. https://notesfromtheuk.com/2016/10/28/bell-ringers-injuries/
Who knew? I had a few bell ringer friends in my twenties, I hope they’ve survived.
Hi everyone! It is for the first time I am participating in Blogger Halloween party and till now the posts shared are awesome 🙂 So I am sharing one of my post which talks about the essence of emotions in a varied way. Hope to see you soon on my site 😉
Beautiful writing, I especially liked “Devotion”. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thanks Dear:)
Lovely introspective reflection.
thanks 😊
Hi, my previous link didn’t work s trying to post it again…
https://sthelensmaud.com/2016/02/16/help-all-my-friends-are-getting-engaged/
Blog parties are such a good way of finding new blogs. Thanks, Suzie! https://scvincent.com/2016/10/14/12-things-your-grandparents-said-2/
Loved what I read Sue. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
My pleasure 🙂

Thanks so much!
Good Morning everyone and happy early Halloween! I’ll just throw my October Insight into the party…. http://rosy-smith.blogspot.com/2016/10/get-some-insightoctober.html Have a great time! x Rosy
Hi! Just had a read. I looove that you don’t just delete a passage you’re unsure of, e.g. the dancing with a guy sentence.
I can hear YOU in your writing which is great!!
And your partner is probably thinking all the same things as you – “should I grab her ass? Should I avoid contact?”.
Its all good!
Hey! Thank you SO so much for your lovely feedback – it makes me very happy to hear that you liked it!! And you’re so right, it’s a mutual confusion I guess 🙂 Have a great night! x Rosy
Does anyone know how to do the Monster Mash? If we need some music for this awesome party check out this playlist on my music blog and bring your dancing shoes 🙂 https://talkaboutpopmusic.com/2016/10/28/a-halloween-mix-tape-music-for-monsters/
Hello everyone! Here’s a little post about author biographies, and how hard it is to write one… Happy Halloween (or Devil’s Night, as it is tonight) 🙂
Wow! Calling Devil’s Night sounds much more scary 🙂
Well, the 30th is traditionally Devil’s Night, when all sorts of mayhem takes place, then Halloween the next night is a bit more sedate 🙂
Hi Helen! I love this post!! Cher xo
Thanks, Cher! xx Happy weekend to you 🙂
And you as well, Helen; thank you! Cher xo
Last one!

Any Moms out there? Well. I think this post will strike a chord. Or scare you silly. Boo!

I found this entertaining a foreshadowing for my future. :-s Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it; hope it helps when get to this stage (!)
Turn any winter blues you might have from changing the uk clocks last night, into thoughts of travel – LA and Back on a packet of crisps
What a fantastic trip.
Awesome blog. I’ve just been to Canada, so I’m not sure how informative they are, but feel free to check them out!!
Your family sounds awesome and the exact types of travellers who should go to Canada! It would be a bit cold now, but there’s a red sand beach in pi island (I never made it there though).
Good morning everyone!
Do you ever wonder what women talk about when their out with their friends? Well, here’s a glimpse ……

Good Morning every one! Am I late for this party? Hehehe. And here is one poem I wrote,
https://theblankpolaroids.com/2016/10/22/our-borrowed-love/
Love the poem and your prints! 🙂
Awwee. Thank you so much ❤ ❤
Hope your not too late because I just linked myself in. Wonderful poem. Happy to follow!
I missed your parties! And I always find something/someone new. New post up on The Mojo Collector: http://wp.me/p4xnjd-u7
Thanks for great opportunity. Now to check out some blogs!!
I loved this Brenda. I’m going to be working on my non-negotiables today! 🙂
thanks. This has been fun reading and checking out blogs. Enjoy the rest of the day.
A fitting post for the season https://aprilmunday.wordpress.com/2016/01/31/ten-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-black-death-2/
I’m staying in a haunted hotel for Halloween! How about you? https://elenaopeters.com/2016/10/14/experience-haunted-halloween-ontario/
Wow, that sounds fab! We watched The Blair Witch Project in the middle of the woods an that was pretty scary 🙂
That sounds way scarier to me!
Fantastic post, Elena! I love studying the paranormal! Your blog photo; can you please tell me where it was taken? It’s magical! Cher xo
It’s actually a stock photo! I’m sure there are tons of places in Cicero that have ghosts. You should check it out.
Very cool! I am originally from Southern Ontario. How did you know about Cicero? 🙂 Thanks, Elena! Cher xo
My uncle lived there for 30 years and besides, who doesn’t know Capone?
I used to live not far from NOTL – it’s a gorgeous place (and a little bit scary too, it seems!)
This makes me want to plan a trip! Thanks for sharing. 🙂 Good luck on your Haunted Hotel stay, I can’t wait to read about it.
Thanks Cookie! Let’s hope I live to tell!
Thanks for hosting the party my link
Love the photos and information in this post. Thanks for sharing!
What fun! Here’s my latest post about my connection to my sister who passed away five years ago: http://wp.me/p51M1O-DT
Such a great post, I had tears in my eyes. I’m convinced that my grandma, whom I was very close, visits me in the form of a hummingbird. Always when I need it the most, like the day I found out I was pregnant with our daughter after a lengthy struggle to get pregnant. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I’m glad it touched you. I’m certain your grandma is with you and so very glad you still have that connection to her.
Hello again Suzie – I forgot to drop off the marshmallows before. Here they are with bonus Christmas choccies (too early?) 😀 And another link to add to the impressive list of posts here…
Great blogs found 🙂

Good morning from Chicago, everyone! First off, to the wonderful, lovely Suzie: thank you so much for hosting this awesome party! I’m Cher, & I am a Canadian living in the USA. This particular post is about life lessons described by a very bad date I had many years ago: http://wp.me/p4doQv-16U
A useful life lesson indeed.
Thank you, April!! I sure learned a huge lesson that day! Cher xo
As we’re all guests at this great party here’s a guest post from the wonderful Helen Jones that she wrote for my blog Steve Says https://steve-says.net/2016/10/29/helen-says-radio-waves-lollops-and-one-hit-wonders-we-are-born-to-be-alive/ if anyone would be keen to feature on my blog please do get in touch 🙂
Here’s a recent spooky story for y’all: https://saylingaway.wordpress.com/2016/10/28/short-story-lifeline/
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Everyone!
Suitably creepy. 🙂
Wow. My jaw dropped. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Perfect for Halloween, Chloe https://pinkiebag.com/
How cool, I found this from another blog link up! In keeping with the spirit of Halloween, I’ll share a recent post combining two of my loves – Halloween and camping! 🙂 Looking forward to visiting all your blogs.. Happy Halloween!
http://www.kathleenhowell.com/camping/ichabod-crane-days/
I love camping less so in the harsh winters but it’s lovely to be outdoors! Your site is lovely too 🙂 !!
Happy Halloween!
Hey Guys! I hope you’re all having a great time here, I know I am. 🙂 Fall always has me drawing in to myself a bit more, here is the result. 🙂 Happy Sharing. http://wp.me/p7LyXn-Sp
I hadn’t plan on posting two blogs, but this one is getting play on my blog. I thought I would share the Coffee Share blog.
Hi! Sorry I’m late, I just woke up here in Canada! But I can’t wait to go read some new blogs!
If you’re looking to read one of mine, here’s a recent one I wrote on TV show endings. http://coolbeans4.wordpress.com/on-tv-show-endings/ I write about a lot of pop culture so if you’re into that then hit me up 🙂
That’s a great post. I loved the Parks & Rec finale although I was grieving for weeks – I totally bought into the characters and missed them! The same goes for The Office. I’m currently watching 30 Rock final season so I’m hoping that too has a good finale. Enjoy the party 🙂
Thanks!
Yes, both P&R and The Office had great finale episodes, but I think the Office was lucky to get theirs as that show dragged on just a bit to long.
To be fair I was disappointed that Michael didn’t have a bigger part in the finale
Me too. But I guess at that point, the show wasn’t about him anymore.
Or he was too expensive 🙂
Hey! This is such a brilliant concept! I’m sharing something that is quiet personal but I hope it’s something unusual for most. It’s my childhood Halloween experience ( I was brought up in a religious household) so it’s me explaining what I ‘thought’ Halloween was all about.
– http://purelyamy.co.uk/2016/10/horrid-halloween-i-havent-ever-celebrated-halloween/
Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for this Suzie! @DeeScribes – I lost a sister as well (two, actually). And her birthday is tomorrow, on Halloween. https://jabeebe.wordpress.com/2016/10/29/happy-birthday-little-sister/
Thank you so much for hosting this “party,” Suzie! First post I’m sharing is one from the final months of my dad’s journey through dementia. https://emilypageart.net//?s=royally&search=Go
Second post is just some silliness so that readers will know that not all of my posts are angsty. https://emilypageart.net//?s=stoopid+farming&search=Go
Hi Susie, thanks for hosting!!
Here is a rather sarcastic post that is getting some awesome comments, check it out!
