October Day
October Day: A Novel | Frank Griffin
8 posts
October Day is an extraordinary novel about an extraordinary event. It is a novel about the Battle of Cable Street, when 100,000 Londoners took to the streets on 4 October 1936 to prevent Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists marching through the Jewish East End. First published less than three years after the event, the central chapters of October Day are a vivid eye-witness record of a famous victory in the history of British anti-fascism.The late Frank Griffin wrote a documentary on the life of a British solder in the 1930s, which caused a national scandal. After the war he wrote for socialist and trade union papers (and the News of the World ). He also wrote a dozen thrillers and a book for teenagers. Introduction by Andy Croft, author of books on the 1930s including Red Letter Days

#bookspin #bookspinbingo @thearomaofbooks

I'm pretty happy with my BookSpin progress. I've knocked quite a few books off my TBR that have been lingering. I've already planned a few reading goals for the rest of the year; we'll see if the bingo picks align 😜

Hello, with October quickly approaching we wanted to share some tips and tricks for you guys. As always, if you have any questions, please don‘t hesitate to ask. 🧡

Clwojick @Stacypatrice Yes! Updated points to be submitted every Sunday, starting October 11th. The team captains will post the team totals by the following Tuesday. 👻 5y
Sace This is awesome! Many thanks to both captains! 5y
BarkingMadRead I have my bujo all set up!!‘ 5y
Scochrane26 Does every post we make, including ones unrelated to scarathlon, count 1 point? I was a little confused about that last year. 5y
coffeewithbooks Thank you for this 5y
Clwojick @Scochrane26 I think if it‘s Halloween themed like a meme or something holiday related that you want to share with the team, then it gets a point. As well as any quotes of images of the books you‘re reading for the month. Since all books read will get you points (though the points vary with the genres) any reading updates etc will counts as a point. Just post using #TeamSlaughter and tag me. 5y
Andrew65 Thanks for this 😍 5y
Rissa1 🧟‍♀️🎃 so excited! 5y
Sleepswithbooks @Clwojick Awesome 🧟‍♀️Thanks!!! 5y
AsYouWish I have a question about a book or book series... I found The Five Nights at Freddy‘s series in my school library. It is about animatronics that come to life at night and may or may not be murders. Would that fit our team theme or is that more monsters? I will tag the book so you can look at it. 5y
Clwojick @AsYouWish I‘d say it could be counted as Thriller for our team. 5y
AsYouWish @Clwojick Yay!!! Thanks!!!! 5y
Curly_Reader How much points are thriller books? 5y

I had terrible storms pass through last night, so didn‘t get a chance to update my October stats until this morning. Not a bad month, considering I read half of these within the last week!
