Hi Friends
Summerween is here again! For those unaware, Summerween is a readathon I enjoy taking part in every summer. It’s basically Halloween, but in summer. And as a winter lover, I’m all about it! If you want to join the fun, check out the announcement video—it’s got all the readathon details! There are only five prompts for this week-long readathon (July 5-12), and I’m aiming to read four books. But I can’t wait for all the spooky reads!
Read A Horror Or Thriller Book
Since Kirsten White’s Hide is on my July TBR, I figured I’d include it here as well. Been wanting to read this horror book forever; it’s got a competition and takes place in an amusement park. I have high hopes for this book, and since it’s short, it should be a quick read.
Read A Book With The Sky On The Cover
I had tons of choices, but I went with She Left by Stacie Gray. It fits the prompt because there’s a sky on the cover, and the story takes place around Memorial Day, so it totally screams summer vibes. The plot reminds me a bit of “And Then There Were None,” but from what I know it’s not a retelling.
Read A Book You’ve Owned For More Than A Year
For a change of pace, I’ve chosen Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club for this prompt. This mystery series, which you may have heard of, centers on residents of a retirement community who become amateur detectives. I’ve owned the book for around two years, and with the movie adaptation coming out soon, now seems like the perfect time to read it.
Read A Novella, Manga Or Listen To A Spooky Audiobook
I’ve been wanting to dive back into Something Is Killing the Children, even though I’m not really into graphic novels. It feels right to read volume two during the readathon because I read volume one during Summerween. Let’s just turn it into a Summerween tradition.
There is one more prompt, which is to Read A Book In The Dark Or At Night, but I’ll probably just use one of the other books already on the TBR for it.
