This year I’m counting down the days ‘til Christmas with books and other fun
things readers enjoy! I love the Holiday Season so I’m sharing ideas for you to
fill your holiday stocking!
One of my newest favorite shows is Supernatural. I started watching it about a year ago. I confess, I binged on Netflix. Honestly, the show is addicting! I love the characters and the storylines. The creepy episodes of the first season had me gasping in surprise at times. And by the stunning and edge-of-your-seat gripping season finale, I knew that this show was on my must-see list.
The show is about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, and their life of hunting monsters. Their mother was killed by a demon when Sam was 6 months old and Dean was 4. After their mother's death, their father took them on the road on the search for the thing that killed her. Along the way, they learned about other monsters, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other types of ghouls and hunted them to help the humans that needed saving. It became as Dean says a family business.
There are so many plot twists and tragedies that leave me in tears, but there are also the humorous episodes and the quirky characters that keep me laughing in stitches. I'm telling you, if you like the paranormal or supernatural elements, this show is for you! Or if you like stories about family and close friends, this is also something you might like.
Since last summer, I was all caught up on the episodes and waiting impatiently for the new season to start, I need to do something to get my Supernatural fix. I found books at Barnes & Noble that satisfied that need. Here are a few you might want to try:
Twenty years ago they lost their mother to a mysterious and demonic supernatural force. In the years after, their father, John, taught them about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America...and he taught them how to kill it.
Sam and Dean have hit New York City to check out a local rocker's haunted house. But before they can figure out why a lovesick banshee in an '80s heavy-metal T-shirt is wailing in the bedroom, a far more macabre crime catches their attention. Not far from the house, two university students were beaten to death by a strange assailant. A murder that's bizarre even by New York City standards, it's the latest in a line of killings that the brothers soon suspect are based on the creepy stories of legendary writer Edgar Allan Poe.
Their investigation leads them to the center of one of Poe's horror classics, face-to-face with their most terrifying foe yet. And if Sam and Dean don't rewrite the ending of this chilling tale, a grisly serial killer will end their lives forevermore.
Alerted to strange happenings in Clayton Falls, Colorado, Bobby sends the boys to check it out. A speeding car with no driver, a homeless man pursued by a massive Gila monster, a little boy chased by uprooted trees — it all sounds like the stuff of nightmares. The boys fight to survive a series of terrifying nighttimes, realizing that sometimes the nightmares don’t go away — even when you’re awake...

A rash of strange deaths in the Tahoe National Forest bring Sam, Dean and Bobby to the Sierra Nevada mountains to hunt a monster with a taste for human flesh. Soon walking corpses, bodies with missing organs, and attacks by a mysterious flying creature lead the trio to a cunning and deadly foe which can assume a human form and will do anything to survive. When a blizzard strikes the area, and not knowing who they can trust, they must battle not only the monster, but also the elements to survive.

Sam and Dean Winchester take up the reins of their father's quest to hunt down the demon who killed their mother. Lucky for them,John recorded the secrets of his dark crusade in his one-of-a-kind journal filled with hard-won knowledge of monster hunting and preternatural dealings—a tome revealing the heart of a man haunted by guilt after the death of Sam and Dean's mother . . . and a story that ends abruptly at John's own disappearance.Without the diary, Sam and Dean would have been lost during their adventures on the CW's Supernatural—and now, with the journal itself in your hands, you too can delve into the eldritch world of monsters, ghost, spirits and ghouls alongside television's hottest demon hunters. A opus of hidden knowledge, John Winchester's Journal is a must-have addition to any Supernatural fan's occult library.
Supernatural: Bobby Singer’s Guide to Huntingby David Reed
My name is Bobby Singer. In twenty-four hours I’m gonna lose my memory. So here’s everything you need to know. Monsters, demons, angels, vampires, the boogeyman under your bed: I’ve seen it, I’ve hunted it, I’ve killed it. I’m not the only hunter out here, but there aren’t as many as there used to be. Not near as many as there need to be. I’ve learned everything I can about every damned critter that walks, crawls, or flies, and I’m not gonna let that all be for nothing. I’m not going down without a fight. I’m not letting everything I’ve learned disappear. So that’s what you’re holding in your hands—everything I know. Anything that’d be useful for Sam, Dean, and the hunters that come after me.
It’s a guide to hunting...it’s a guide to me. My last will and testament. Ya idjits.
And there's a calendar, too!
Happy Holidays!
