The True Book Addict is hosting this on her horror blog, Castle Macabre. It starts at 12:00am Monday, October 3rd, and runs through 11:59pm Sunday, October 9th. To join in the event, add you name to the list on blog, read at least one (1) scary book during the read-a-thon. This can also be a mystery or thriller if you're not a big fan of horror. Doing this automatically gets you entered in the giveaway! There will hopefully be mini-challenges and giveaways during the week. Go grab the button and use the hashtag #frightfall when tweeting about it!
Ramblings of a Daydreamer is hosting this month-long event. From her blog:
For every paranormal book you read and review in the month of October, you’ll be entered in the giveaway to win one of the paranormal books below. All you have to do is sign up between now and October 7th, then starting October 1st, whenever you read and review a paranormal book, come back here and post a link to the review in the Mr. Linky. This post that you’re reading is just for sign-ups - starting October 1st, there will be a new post where people can leave their review links. Each review is an entry in the giveaway, and on November 1st, one winner will be chosen. All reviews must be posted for the first time between October 1st and October 31st, 2011.So go enter the Mr Linky, grab the button, make a post about the event, and dive in!
The challenge part: you have to read and review a minimum of THREE paranormal books during October. You don’t have to choose them ahead of time, but you have to read at least three. For many of you, this will be no problem at all. If you don't think it's possible, don't sign up for the challenge.
The challenge says paranormal, but I’m going to go with a loose definition: basically, if it has any 'otherworldly' element to it, I’ll accept it, which means that I’m not going to say no to books that may fall into the category of fantasy or urban fantasy. Think faeries, vampires, werewolves, shifters, mermaids, angels, demons, witches, sirens, banshees, etc.
