Yes, the adorably costumed, greedy hordes will be out in force tonight, armed with soon-to-be weighted bags and buckets. At BookPeople, we\u00a0have been known to indulge in a little candy (and will have plenty onhand for our Halloween costume party with Eva Chen tonight!), but we also\u00a0think that books make the very best treats.\u00a0Wednesday morning we hosted our annual Halloween trick-or-treat-for-books storytime and costume parade. Donning my witch&#8217;s hat and giving out\u00a0books to eager pandas and scarecrows, cats and bats, dinosaurs and superheroes, princesses and aviators is one of my favorite times\u00a0of the year, and in honor of the holiday (and all our staff members who dressed up), I wanted to share just a few of our favorite moments with you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
