Black-Oween-Athon - Google Drive
The Black-Oween-Athon is a readathon encouraging readers to read more novels by Black authors and with Black characters.
I'm a mood reader and just can't do a TBR. I also tend to finish only about 1-2 books a month thanks to everything else I have going on. So mines is not exactly a TBR, instead it is the list of books rec'd in the Google Drive above ^ and highlighted are books that I'm interested in reading this October, and/or any other month/day.!
Every October/Fall/Halloween I am drawn to read horror and mystery so this year I'm going to try to leave Stephen King alone and find more Black authors to read!
I have a bunch of books, that aren't highlighted, on my TBR but they aren't highlighted because they aren't on my Halloween/Fall TBR
