Halloween Season Activated | My October 2023 Readathon TBRs

October 2023 is my month of advanced reading copies, carryover reads, readathons, book clubs, and buddy reads. However ambitious, I’m determined to participate. Check out my Booktube and Instagram for details and visuals. On Twitter and Threads, I’ll post my thoughts and comments about each book I read. Consider following me on each platform to keep up with how I participate in these readathons in October 2023. I may or may not create a TikTok to wrap up each readathon, so too stay updated, follow me there as well. 🙂

Below is my TBR for October 2023 with a key for each advanced reading copy, carryover read, readathon, book club, and buddy read. Note: The readathons are linked to their respective Booktube/YouTube video.
