Halloween is almost here! With less just a few days left until my favorite holiday, I thought I'd share some literary inspiration with the procrastinators out there who still haven't chosen a costume. Already know what you're dressing up as? Here are some ideas for next year! They're fun, easy and great conversation starters for all your All Hallow's Eve extravaganzas. Like most people, I did not come up with the majority of these ideas but used this fancy thing called the World Wide Web to find some pretty neat costumes!.
1) Nancy Drew and/or the Hardy Boy(s)

This one takes a little bit more effort. I think I'll save it until I have more costume prep time and
maybe a little wild thing of my own to take Trick-or-Treating!

Choose a hobbit, Gandalf, Legolas or Gollum if you're looking to find "your precious" on All Hallow's Eve. This makes for a great group costume in Middle Earth and beyond!
18) A Bookworm

Bookworms are great at all ages - but this costume is particularly cute for the bookish babies out there.
19) The Fiction Fairy

This one would take a little bit more effort, but it's so adorable it just might be worth it.
