Despite the craziness of my life in 2020, there will be another year of #Screamathon!!
It‘s the 4th year of Screamathon, and I‘m going back to its roots. This will be a VERY low-key reading challenge. No games, photo challenges. or extras this year, just the opportunity to read Halloweeny books and share with fellow participants!
Rules are simple: post your TBR pile before Oct 1, and use #Screamathon tag to discuss the books you‘re reading! ⬇️
alisiakae What classifies as a Halloween read? I leave that up to you! Suggestions include: horror, thriller, mystery, paranormal, ghost stories, witchy books, and whatever else you can think of! I will also be bringing back #Friyayintro in October, #Halloweenedition! 👻 🦇🎃 Feel free to post all the other Halloween happiness in your life, too! (edited) 4y
kaysworld1 I'm am in I have been waiting for this for a while 😊 4y
alisiakae @kaysworld1 I‘m glad you‘ll be joining! 👻🎃 4y

sprainedbrain Yay! I love the #Screamathon! I actually keep a shelf year-round on Goodreads for it so I‘m ready to go. 😂 4y
alisiakae @sprainedbrain I have a GR shelf too! ALthough this year I will be balancing my #Screamathon reads with P&P adaptations. 😃 4y
erzascarletbookgasm Thanks for the tag! I‘ll have to do a bit of searching as I don‘t read a lot of scary books. Only suspenseful and mildly scary!😆 (edited) 4y
alisiakae @erzascarletbookgasm mildly scary is just fine! I usually read more fantasy, witchy, books, with some thriller thrown in. 4y
sprainedbrain @4thhouseontheleft Same! With the P&P&Zombies filling both. 😂 4y
Addison_Reads Yay! This was the first challenge I ever participated in on Litsy and I'm excited it's back this year. 👻 4y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Yay! #Screamathon! Thank you. 😱🖤 4y
DGRachel Hooray! I‘m all set with my TBR. I‘ve got two stacks on my headboard. 😈 4y
TEArificbooks Best news all day! 4y
mrp27 I've never done Screamathon but I look forward to giving it a go this year!! 4y
BookwormAHN I'm glad it's coming back 🖤 4y
rubyslippersreads This sounds like fun. I‘ve never done it before, but think I‘ll try this year. Like @erzascarletbookgasm it‘ll be mildly scary and suspenseful. 4y
Blueberry 👍🏼 4y
Sleepswithbooks I‘m so excited to play!! I just filled out my questionnaire 🧟♀️ 4y
Avanders 🎃👻🎃 yay! It‘s one of the few (only) readathons I feel I can even attempt 😁😁 I‘m in again this year! 🎃🎃🎃 4y
alisiakae @Stacypatrice you might have this confused with #scarathlon, hosted by @Clwojick. #screamathon doesn‘t have a form, it‘s super chill and low-key ☺️ 4y
Clwojick Yay! ♥️♥️ Four years! That‘s awesome 🕷 (edited) 4y
AmyG I will be lucky if I read 2 books...but I will try. Thanks for the tag. Hope all is well. 4y
Sleepswithbooks I did get confused @4thhouseontheleft !!! Screaming, scaring, scalping... I get so overstimulated with excitement 🎃 🧟♀️🔪 4y
alisiakae @Stacypatrice 🤣 Last year I did #scarathlon as well as my own RC, you can never have too much Halloween! 4y
alisiakae @Clwojick I‘m glad you‘re doing #scarathlon again too! 4y
alisiakae @Laughterhp @Addison_Reads @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @mdm139 @mrp27 @BookwormAHN @Avanders I‘m so glad to see there is still interest! 4y
alisiakae @AmyG I won‘t be reading as many books this year, but life is settling down and I‘m looking forward to the fall! 4y
alisiakae @rubyslippersreads Welcome to #screamathon! Last year I added a swap and photo challenge, but I‘m keeping it simple this year. I just love having a community of Littens who love Halloween as much as I do! 4y
Sleepswithbooks @4thhouseontheleft Do books that scare us count or is it just Halloween? I have one on “History‘s Monsters” I‘ve been saving. It‘s nonfiction. 4y
alisiakae @Stacypatrice definitely not just halloween! Anything that gives a halloween vibe for you counts! I am super flexible about what fits! 4y
Sleepswithbooks Yayyyyyyyy!!!!! 4y
