The planning process for a wedding can be exhausting, but it’s essential to take it slow and refresh your body and mind. Here are some tips for brides to keep in mind:
1. Enjoy and relax together. As the only couple, you should both relax and enjoy together.
2. Write it down. Make this your mantra for the entire planning experience. When things start getting out of control, refer back to your initial vision.
3. Raising security on the entire scope at the same time is one of the main challenge CISOs have to address.
4. Moving to cyber resilience is a key theme, and supply chain cyber risk management is important to identify, analyze, and mitigate risks.
5. Engage in physical activity. Try engaging in aerobic activity for 30 to 40 minutes to stay awake all night. If you don’t like working out, try standing up and getting some exercise.
6. Get everything ready. Before going to bed, make sure you know what time you need to wake up in the morning.
7. Avoid alcohol before noon the day before your wedding. Aromatherapy can help alleviate stress and anxiety, two common culprits that might just be keeping you awake the night before your wedding.
8. Keep your room clutter-free.
9. Don’t smoke.
10. Stay organized.
11. Plan your wedding day.
12. Have a well-balanced meal.
13. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
14. Practice relaxation techniques.
15. Stay organized.
16. Stay connected with your team.
17. Stay organized.
19. Stay calm and focused.
20. Remember to enjoy the day and take it slow.

Do you have to kiss the bride?
Do the couple want to kiss at the ceremony? A first kiss isn’t a legal requirement. Some couples don’t want a “forced” public kiss. Celebrants can leave it out of the ceremony. If you have the kiss in your ceremony, think about what kind of kiss it will be. Practice it so it’s not awkward on the day. Make the kiss special. The photos of the first kiss should capture your feelings at the time. Save the “back bend” or “lift and twirl” for later on the dance floor. Ask your celebrant from The Celebrants Network about a stylish “just married” kiss for your ceremony.

Top 10 things that keep me awake at night: 1. The thought of having to wake up early 2. The fear of missing the alarm 3. The disguts I have towards this society and the fact that I have to wake up early 4. The feeling that perhaps nobody truly loves me 5. The back, shoulder and neck pain from my tough matress 6. The deadlines I still haven’t even started 7. The things I have forgotten to do before lying in bed: peeing, drinking water, getting a blanket, closing the window… 8.

The random anxiety when I remember the crowded subway without space for a single needle I will have to take tomorrow 10. Every single sound or source of light keeps me awake
2:26 to anyone who’s actually afraid of this one, no need to worry about it anymore. the Zodiac Killer’s name is Gary Francis Poste, and he’s very dead now so it’s ok you can sleep peacefully. 😇 (although it is absolutely wild to think about how he was still alive when James posted this article….. i wonder if Gary ever saw it 🤔)
Some things that keep me awake are random things like: Cheese/butter is just a loaf of milk, every time u use a eraser it dies cuz of ur mistake,A vegan is just making less plants instead of animals,every time u use a pen it looses some of its blood (the ink) HIPE U HAVE FUN NOT BEING ABLE TO SLEEP AFTER U READ THIS!!! <3
Some thought that i think. 1. What if there is a murderer under my bed, in my closet, inside the roof or somewhere waiting to strike 2. Sleeping in the dark, You cant see shit, so there might be something or someone sneaking up on me, ( almost the same as 1) 3. What does it feel like to die and when you have died, like i know u dont feel anything, but how does not feeling anything, feel? 4. That i have left a bit for ex. plastic and one of my cats has ate it and will choke to death
Here’s a thought for you existentialists: don’t think about remembrance too much. Think about what matters to during your life right now, yes that includes the tiny things. That job or whatever you wanted, hold on to that spark. Oh and if you still worry about being remembered then watch “meet the Romans” (not now, sleepy head) that show proves that as long as writing and reading remains a thing and that archeologists and historians will always exist, then there’s a good chance you’ll be a bit found out. A sobering thought, now go to bed!
Me: Goes to sleep Brain: Did you charge your phone? Me: Yeah… positive. Goodnight. Brain: You sure? What about your alarm? Me: Umm I think. Brain: Better check 🙂 Me: checks and I did it all Me: Thanks. Goodnight Brain: Night 1 minute later Brain: Remember the time you embarrassed yourself? Me: No no no!!! That was years ago! Brain: I know >:)
First thing: apparently I’ve seen this article before – noticing a comment I made 4 yrs ago (according to this comment now) Second thing: why did I read honorable mentions as “horrible memory,” which also keep me up at night. How many things have I forgotten to do or say or all of the above just because I completely forgot or didn’t remember
Omg you look so beautiful!!! Thank you for these specific recs, I’ll be adding so many of these books to my overflowing tbr. So many books, so little time this month! Also, this is kinda random but I really missed perusal your articles as soon as they came out, because you’re one of my favourite booktubers and I had that ritual going. I was so overwhelmed with life in the past few months that I just missed out on your content. Really happy to be back here!! 💛☺️
Love the book recommendation! I also love Dracula and Camilla in the “classic / monster section”! Both are about vampires, and Camilla is really moving. I love the ghost short stories anthologies of Sheridan Le Fanu too! Dracula is really a must have read : the ambiance is amazing, and it’s a book that made me think a lot about relationships between people, because Dracula is such an awful character, but that brings a lot of thoughts about feminism, patriarchy, etc. It’s absolutely a byproduct of reading it nowadays, in a society really different from Stocker’s one, with different values, but it’s a really interesting experience. (and thanks again for the discovery of Ring shout, it was one of my fav of last year!) i definitely picked a couple of your recommendations for this autumn : i finished my phd and have just so much time now to read (i’m reading several books a week nowadays, after having spent so time with frustration of not having time to read!)
I love the paranormal type of books. The eerie atmosphere is so good to read and if it’s told right it can feel like you’re actually in the story. I read “The girl in cabin 10” and that was the perfect one for October. I don’t remember the author bit they wrote it in such a way that gave me chills. I mostly write paranormal or scary or eerie vibes. I love writing about exploring a haunted woods or abandoned places with a creepy history. Sometimes little details like that can make you feel like you’re in the story with the characters.
That was perfect timing! I want to read more Horror because I really want to try and write Horror myself 🙂 The books you talked about sound very good and I’ll make sure to read them. I read “Child Thief” by Brom. It was very creepy and scary and sometimes I had to put it away. Especially that one torture scene with children. That one stuck to me. All in all it’s a very dark version and after reading, you will see Peter Pan with different eyes. Looking forward to your articles and sending you love and creative vibes <3
Glad to see Dracula on your TBR. I love all of the classic horror you mentioned, but Dracula is my favorite. If liked the structure of House of Leaves, you will love the epistolary nature of Dracula. Narration interspersed with diary entries, shipping logs, etc. SO GOOD! And there is a great version on audible.
Thank you for recommending these great books. I just recently started to read again. I’m going to read Bram Stoker’s Dracula for the first time. I love the movie but I never got the chance to read a book. The yellow wallpaper, Nothing but black and teeth, and the silent companions sound interesting to me.
I’ve been working my way through Lovecraft’s work and taking notes on what gave scary movies their inspiration, it’s the funniest thing I’ve done all October, after that I’m working through Poe and the Hannibal Lecter books. they are all pretty short, short enough to finish almost 20 stories in like 2 weeks.
Since you mentioned some classics and some short stories… I feel like everyone always forgets about Rappaccini’s Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne! It’s one of my fave gothic supernatural stories and he’s my favorite of the transcendentalists not least because of the rumor he used to sneak out of the back door of his house to avoid being bored to death by Louisa May Alcott’s father.
That TBR list is impressive for sure! I read Wuthering heights a long time ago and I just remember that I was so sad at the end. It’s just such a sad story. I think I would read one from the YA section because those are maybe a bit less spooky/horror then some of the adult ones? I’m not a fan of horror movies, I can’t sleep then, but I’m a bit better at horror books 😀
I recently read “Saturday night ghost club” and while only slightly scary or spooky I think it’s still very much on theme and super eerie in a sad and beautiful way. I highly recommend it if you like books that are different and have children as main characters. It can get dark though and at times made me sad. But it’s also fun and exciting, kinda like stranger things vibes but no aliens and the scariest stuff is things that are not paranormal but faced by many in real life.
It’s funny that you said you’re not into witches, because your look in this article makes me think you’re ready to preside over the world’s coziest demon summoning. 🌙🗡 I am terrified of horror, but I loved Her Body and Other Parties and I am aiming to finally read Rebecca this month! Instead of horror I usually read murder mysteries for October; I like Dorothy Sayers’ Whose Body? and Murder Must Advertise. Dracula is always the exception, I’ve read it so often!
I’ve read a few of the classics; Frankenstein (I loved the beautiful writing-style), Jekyll & Hyde (my favorite of them) and the picture of Dorian Gray. I’m reading bunny right now but I’m still at the beginning. And I recommend These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever, I would probably not say it’s a spooky book but it’s pretty intense and thrilling with a very very toxic relationship
I loved Slewfoot! I found Ringshout too short. I wanted to know and experience more of the world in the story. House of Leaves is the scariest book I’ve ever read! I have nightmares about growing houses still, and I read the book 6 yrs ago. I loved that book! I’m not a Shirley Jackson fan unfortunately. I highly recommend Robert McCammon, Michelle Paver and Peter Straub to anyone who enjoys scary stories.
I’m reading the binding now! I picked it as my spooky book this month, but I think the romance storyline takes more of the front seat, which was a little disappointing for me because there’s so much potential for creepy scary times through the binding process. Overall, I’m here for the naturalist writing not for an enemies to lovers trope, and it’s pretty mild on the scare factor
I read Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton, and am currently reading the follow-up Feral Creatures. It follows the perspective of animals in a zombie(ish) apocalypse, with the main perspective being a domesticated crow in Seattle. There is a lot of humor and irreverence, which one would expect from a crow, but it will quickly catch you off guard with its emotional moments. A warning: there is animal death, not graphic, just heartbreaking… Never thought someone offering a Cheeto to a crow in a story would make me cry!
Bunny by Mona Awad, Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Machado, We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson, The Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer (the second dragged a bit but the third book makes up for it, highly recommend reading the whole trilogy!),the Weird Compendium full of creepy stories from various speculative fiction/scifi/fantasy authors, Vita Nostra (spelling of the authors names are escaping me but they’re a couple!)
Although my birthday is in October I’m not the biggest spooky fan… I hate horror and suspense movies, but I can tolerate more intense content in books, so maybe I’ll experiment a spooky book sometime… I’ve only read Frankenstein and Drive your plow over the bones of the dead out of your list 😅 And the later one I read because you recommended it last year!
For the TBR: I really liked Wuthering Heights! I will say to me it felt more like a November read than an October read, there are spooky elements, but for the most part it’s more… Melancholic and inevitably tragic than directly spooky, if that makes sense. I’ll admit I found myself getting a little annoyed with the characters around the halfway point… But it made the ending Hit So Good, and in a way that was surprisingly hopeful! I really reccommend it!!
I recommend House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland for a dark fantasy, fae eerie horror book its young adullt genre, I LOVED IT!, although will mention the trigger warnings so read at you’re own discretion: Alcohol and Drug use\r Attempted murder\r Attempted sexual assault\r Blood\r Body horror\r Death (adult and children)\r Gore\r Murder Nudity\r Self-harm\r Suicide (past, mentioned)\r Violence (adult and children)
Me: ugh I shouldn’t watch this, I’ve got so many spoopy books that I haven’t read, especially not feeling like reading that spoopy one about the gay mermaids. Plant based bride: and here we got spooky mermaids! 🎉 Me: huh?! She’s recommending it too? Wow it must be real good then guess I’ll read it tonight (searches for book on kindle) wait a minute this one’s different?! So yeah uh for mermaid lovers there’s also “the deep” by Rivers Solomon, I was told it’s pretty brutal and gay.
I have read a few of the books on your TBR and can sum up my findings like this: Sherlock Holmes – I´m not even commenting on this, you know it´s a good choice 😉 In My Dreams I Hold a Knife – dark academia-ish (very loosely), not really spooky but I remember it being very enjoyable. Vita Nostra – this one is an absolute concentration vampire, it took so much brain power to visualise and I´m still not sure I know what was going on. Book Eaters – the single biggest disappointment of this summer, at least for me. Not nearly as spooky as the theme would have you believe. Also, I recommend a few reviews because the blurb and the marketing around this book are extremely misleading. You may still enjoy it, but you are not getting what they advertise, I can promise you that. I would say it´s mostly Midsommar meets Handmaid´s Tale with a hint of Sophie´s Choice. Both Carmilla and Dracula are fine, in my opinion, but even though I can see how they would have been revolutionary in their time, the fact that I am familiar with these stories through other mediums was definitely preventing me from fully enjoying them. I have split my autumn TBR into several sections. This month, I am mostly reading witchy books, both cosy and spooky ones. I picked Autumn of the Grimoire, The Unmarked Witch, Hex, Withcling´s Girl and The Crucible. Also, I have just finished Dracula (finally!!!) and Alan Rickman´s memoir has just come out, so I am reading that as well. For November (and probably also December), I am diving more into the spooky reads.
Did you know that “Rebecca” was plagiarized from Carolina Nabuco’s work “A sucessora”? Like “The life of Pi” is also plagiarism of another brazillian writter…I always wonder how many other famous books, musics and works of art are plagiarized from artists from peripheral countries and celebrated around the world and we don’t know about.
