Happy Halloween!!!
It’s here - the most spooky day of the year! Yes friends, today is when the usually small ghosties, ghoulies and goblins come out to play. As you know if you know us, we celebrate all things spooky all year round, but Halloween is extra special, when everyone joins in on the fun. We hope your spooky season has been enjoyable so far and you’ve had fun with any events you’ve attended or taken part in. If you’re staying in this evening, we hope you’re well stocked up on supplies for those little monsters who may knock the door. If you’re going out, we hope you have a fun, happy and safe Halloween night. And we hope you’ve enjoyed the content we’ve had for you this month! If you’ve been inspired by what we’ve featured, remember, our door is always open, and we love to welcome new members of the team. You can also send us guest posts if you’d like something more sporadic!
We have had some changes here over the last year, including the introduction of Queer Your eReader and we are now starting the DHR Directory! So there are always plenty of ways to get involved.
For today, however, we would like to point you towards our DHR Halloween Playlist! If you’re looking for music to celebrate Halloween, check it out on Spotify - this playlist has been created by our whole team over the years, with additions coming from contributors. So have a look and enjoy. We’ve also included a variety of songs here, so there should be a little something for everything.
