Readathoning in October

Halloween is here!!! Okay, only October is here, but it is time to get SPOOKY!!! There are actually a lot of horror-themed or fall-themed, or Halloween-themed readathons happening this month, but I am very sad to announce that I won’t be doing any of them. I have a huge galley pile for October (and November) and I want to do better, so instead of doing themed readathons, I am just going to focus on a couple of readathons which I can use my existing galleys for. Obviously, I am already doing the Seasonal Series readathon – Autumn edition, which has plenty of themed challenges.

If you do want to participate in themed readathons, I would suggest looking up this calendar or this Twitter feed.

Owntober (month-long)

Hosted by Books & Munches, the readathon is for reading books off your physical TBR, which I really really need to do. I am setting a goal to read 5 books off my shelves, this month

TBR: 5 books
