Best of 2014: What if Your Favorite Books Were Halloween Candy?

We're revisiting some of our favorite posts of 2014 while taking a break over the holidays. 

I love this post because it's SO DANG DELIGHTFUL. Seriously, we spent a week just bouncing around candy puns over email, and then Elissa made these amazing images, and then the internet loved it.

Game, set, match. Also: candy. — Blair (@ATallOrder)
