Another year, another Hallowreadathon over! It’s always really lovely to see people getting their spooky reading on, and this year was no exception. It’s hard for me to believe that this was my fourth year hosting my little readathon! Next year it’ll be half a decade of spooks. But what about my reading, eh?
Poison City by Paul Crilley
As the readathon approached, I wasn’t sure if I was going to pick up Poison City or Carrie by Stephen King from my TBR pile. But Poison City won out, mainly because I’ve read Carrie before and I find re-reads to be a little slower for me. I really enjoyed this, I didn’t quite finish it but it’s so much fun and I can’t wait for the next book. It’s a similar type of thing as the Ben Aaronovitch books I’ve dabbled with in the past, but the world feels more- real. I loved it, and it ended up having ghosts in at as well as a red cover!
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Oh boy. I don’t know why I thought I could finish a 20-hour audiobook in 48 hours. Even on 1.25x speed, I didn’t even get through half! But even a little Dracula was a relief to me, as I’ve not really been enjoying the gothic horror classics that I’ve been reading lately. Frankenstein? Didn’t like it. My Jekyll and Dr Hyde? Hated it. Dracula? Loving it so far. Finally, an actual scare with a red cover.
So I didn’t complete the challenge of finishing two books, but I’m still really happy with the reading I did and the spooks that came with it! If you want to see a more successful Hallowreadathon Wrap-up, check out Freya, who did great!
and I got 20 pages in before realising that it wasn’t readathon material. I wanted to savour that book. So I switched over to 
which is YA and looked like a quicker read. I managed to get 106 pages in before switching, again, to 
. This I finished and since there’s orange on the cover- Challenge 2? Check!
