An October Read-A-Thon – Read Like Hell-A-Thon!
Welcome to the 6th annual Read Like Hell-A-Thon! We’re so excited to have you join us. This read-a-thon is hosted by myself @books.beans.botany and @the.vegan.hobbit so make sure to give us a follow as well as the official Instagram for the read-a-thon – @readlikehellathon.
What is the Read Like Hell-A-Thon?
It’s a read-a-thon in October with a Halloween-horror-esque theme.
We’ve decided to simplify things this year and have pared-down the number of characters and prompts!
Instructions
Levels and prompts can be read in any order you wish. Think of them more as groups instead of stepping stones to the next level.
Each character has more prompt choices than needed to give you options. Read all the prompts for extra points (the points don’t matter, except for bragging power).
