Ok #hashtagbrigade it's time to start thinking about October! If you would like to be tagged in next month's book, drop a comment to her.
Everyone is welcome, just remember, my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don't read my post until you've read the chapter. We will read a chapter a day in October.
My version has 27 chapters so we will finish before Halloween!
Just a reminder that Octoberr's #LosersClub read is #Carrie Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about October 1st, when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month!

Hey friends!! Time to start thinking about our October #RandomClassic - The Three Musketeers!! I've never read this book or any other book by Dumas, but I have had a lovely two-volume edition sitting on my shelf since... 2003 k Let me know if you want to read along!! Wel'll be tackling one chapter a day, which means it will take us over 2 months to finish this 65-chapter story.

Play #FrightFestBingo while watching any spooky or autumn themed movies or shows! You can use multiple squares per movie if you'd like!
Tag @Catsandbooks if you play!
Great to earn points for #HauntedShelf, but all are welcome to play even if you're not participating in the other events.
Here is the bingo board to go along with the #SpookOWeen readathon. The prompts are open to a loose interpretation. It can be a character, theme, cover art, or word found in a book you read. Each bingo will get you an entry into the giveaway. A blacked out board will get you an extra five. Enjoy and happy reading!

I wanted to contribute a bingo board and readathon to #hauntedshelf for October! 3 things I love about autumn are 1) Taylor Swift, 2) cosy romances and fantasies and 3) ghosts and slashers.
I took 25 Red songs and made prompts to use twice, once for something cosy and once for something horrific. So this is actually 50 prompts, as each one can be used for something warming and something chilling

It is also on Storygraph -

It technically runs through October but you don't need to stick to that.
I'm sorry about how generic it looks. Canva doesn't have many monster romance suitable images!

#PumpkabooHunt is a bit of an October add-on to #GottaCatchemAll because it's Pokémon themed.
Anyone can join in; you don't need to be involved with the yearlong challenge. This is the first time running this so l'm figuring it out as I go along!
This will be based on page count, I think Audiobook readers will be able to convert? If not, poke me and I'll add hours listened as well…
