Ok so it is a little early in the season, but Pumpkin Carving is a big activity for my family, and we tend to start in early October. And honestly we go a bit big with it, not only because we do multiple pumpkins throughout the month, but my father uses power tools and I use special carving tools and pottery tools to partially sculpt mine.

The last few years I've been doing a lot of pop culture ones or just generally creepy ones, but this year I want to mostly focus on book themed pumpkins.

My Idea's So Far 1.I was thinking of doing the house in Thistlefoot, if I can find a tall enough pumpkin. 2.The crow with white streaks in its feathers from Weyward if I can figure out the visuals for the white streaks in a pumpkin carving. 3.I was thinking of trying to do Poe from Emily Wilde's encyclopaedia of faeries. Especially since I like doing creepy pumpkins and I think that would be fun to try to do. 4.And Potentially Laszlo from The Witchstone.

But yeah, as I was brainstorming I thought it would be fun to see if anyone else has done book themed pumpkin carvings, and what it was. Or if anyone had ideas of things that would be cool to see done that way.

Last year I got one kind of bookish pumpkin done, but it was more based on the scene in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy movies where Gandalf fights the Balrog, and some art I saw depicting it.

There is also a good chance I am just going to make creepy scenes or monsters based off vibes, but I am hoping to get one solid book themed one done this year.

I forgot how dramatic Edward and Bella are, and I kind of love listening to it 😂
