Fall Read-a-thons and Events / HallowReads 2020

September / October Reading Event Announcements in one spot --- some may have their own wrap-up posts later, but it was will more likely be general update posts which include goals met as part of the "HallowReads" theme I do every time this year when the site is active. Several of these will overlap time-wise.

Twitter has fun reading challenge events for the Fall season, and most cross with instagram side prompts. As usual, I have some little personal mini-goals, we'll see how many I'll accomplish, especially with my reading mood lackluster this year compared to usual.

I will be posting movie and tv show updates, as well as a lot (hopefully) of book reviews, both old and new, so stay tuned. Right now the definite schedule is for Halloween day look for The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving. Otherwise the book reviews - almost all horror themed, but some cozy for the season, will be popping up to fit the genre and reading mood.

Fall has always been my favorite reading season for all the themes and events, even if Florida doesn't get full fall weather, which is one of the more depressing facts the state owns. Still, I can pretend, and if it starts getting in the lower 80's versus the mid-90's, I'm getting pretty giddy.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY READING CHALLENGE

My Choices:

"Camping Trip" 23-30 of September - ONE WEEK

TBR To be decided/announced and read by mood

The "Who ate the last marshmallow?" being an apocalypse theme cracks me up.

PROGRESS UPDATE: This one has now concluded. I had a lot of fun, but only finished four books. Still, got to participate in a live campfire read-a-long, chat, collage crafts, and other challenges - great group of people, will definitely join in again next year.
