It’s officially that time of year! Spooky September, aka the moment that Mandy lives for all year long, is hereeeeeeeeeeeee. It’s time for books that gives us all the chills, creeps, and goosebumps.
Last year, we indulged Mandy’s need for the spooky reads and created a Nightmare Before Christmas-themed read-a-thon (hello, Nightmare Before BPR aka Spooky September!), and we are bringing it BACK this year. Get ready to pack your September with all the spooks. *the official name is Nightmare Before BPR but we know it’s wordy, so y’all can call it Spooky September too.
THE RULES
🎃 create a TBR list or an “I’m joining!” post linking back to BPR so we can add you as a participant 🎃
🎃 complete as many prompts from the bingo board as you can 🎃
🎃 the read-a-thon starts Sept. 1 and ends Sept. 30 🎃
Use the #NightmareBeforeBPR hashtag on Twitter if you share any of your reads there!
THE BINGO BOARD / PROMPTS
THE PARTICIPANTS
🎃 Mandy
🎃 Sha
🎃 You?
Will you be joining? Are you a fan of Halloween coming as soon as possible?

This sounds like fun!! So are you trying to check off all the boxes? Also, if you read a book that covers more than one category, does it count for both? I have NEVER done a bingo style read-a-thon before ha-ha!

Thank you!! With readathons, I’ve definitely seen a few that require different things and do require one prompt per bingo. That’s how I’m trying to do this year to push myself to do more. However, since there is a lot of prompts, I say you can double up on prompts if you wish!!

I’m on the verge of tears because this is just so cute and I’ve never wanted to join a readathon more in my life, but unfortunately I don’t even think my university schedule will allow for me to read anything this semester! 😦
I think I’ll still try to join! If I do, I’ll make a post to let you know! 😌 I’m determined to read at least one spooky book this year! (PS: Can I call it “Spooky-tember”, just for myself? Because that’s what it is in my mind, haha!)

I love everything fall, so this seems like fun, but I don’t usually read spooky-ish books? Hmm, maybe I can alter these a little to fit what I would read? Can you double up with prompts?
This is so exciting!

Oooooh yes! And yes! I definitely have altered a few things to fit too in the past (lol and I created it, lol), but I’ve used fantasy and even contemporary for a few prompts that fit a sort of spookyish feel. I plan on only using one for each prompt, but since there are so many prompts, I definitely think you can double up for some of them.. 🙂

This looks so fun but I am going into prelims so I can’t participate this time.
Will you be doing another readathon?

Thank you – and oh no!! Good luck, for sure, though, on prelims!! Definitely would make it a bit hard. And I’m not sure yet – Sha and I definitely have tossed the idea around before.

I’d definitely be joining. This sounds so cute, and it’s enough to get in the Halloween spirit, so I could just quit procrastinating on a series I want to finish and stop saying, ‘maybe next time’ whenever I see the books at the library.
