It's time for another readathon! This one is an extended weekend readathon to kick off Halloween and wrap up the month: it starts at 12:00AM Friday, October 28th and ends at 11:59PM Monday, October 31st!

This round's optional prompt is in honor of one of my personal favorite holidays:
🎃 read a book with spooky themes! (a horror book, mystery/thriller, dark fantasy, paranormal fantasy, whatever you think fits the bill!)

Post your TBR and progress updates whenever you're ready, here or in the Discord server (or both)!

If you would like an invite to the Discord server, please message me here on Goodreads or comment below and I'll DM you an invite link!
