The Spring into Horror Readathon begins today.
From Seasons of Reading:
Remember, it’s two weeks now…and at the tale end (the finale weekend) will also be Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon! Official dates are April 17 through 30, starting at 12am CDT Monday and ending at 11:59pm CDT on Sunday the 30th. Guidelines for the readathon can be found HERE or you can access in the menu at the top of the blog. Any information you need about the readathon can be found there. The hashtag for checking in on social media is #SpringHorror. You can also check-in and chat at our Facebook group (also can be accessed in the blog menu).
Just remember…the one main “rule” of Spring Into Horror is that you must read ONE scary book (which can be a thriller, mystery, Gothic novel, or similar for those who are faint of heart). The rest of the week…anything goes! Read more horror, or go in for less heart jolting fare. 😀
I’m not much of a horror reader, in all honesty, which is why I’m so glad Michelle only says we need to read one scary book and it doesn’t even really have to be that scary. Right now I’m in the middle of The End of the Day by Claire North, which even though it stars the Harbinger of Death and we meet all four riders of the apocalypse isn’t really scary, and Romancing the Wedding Planner by Amber Leigh Williams, also not scary. After I finish those, though, I plan on reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, which will be my horror choice.
I don’t really have any goals, just to make time to read. I’ll keep updates here until I do my wrap-up post. Thanks for hosting the readathon, Michelle!

I didn’t find much time to read and was even worse at keeping track. I think I read maybe 10 pages and listened for about an hour. I’ll try to keep better track this week.

I admit I stopped keeping track. I’ll post my wrap-up on Monday.
😀 Sounds like fun.
I didn’t see your name in the linky so I almost missed your post. I’m behind on visiting. I was doing assessment for a job opportunity all last week. I found out I got the job yesterday!
Anyway, I hope you’re still with us. I need to read The Picture Of Dorian Gray. How are you liking it?
Congrats on the job!! So far, I’m really enjoying it, but I didn’t get much reading in over the weekend.
