2025 I Read Horror Year-Round Challenge - First Quarter Check-in


Sorry I'm late! Big thanks to Marla for posting her update on Instagram...a nice kick in the pants since I forgot. 

So, how did the first quarter go for you?

I'm doing the Chilling level which is 12 books in a year (plus, I'm trying for the Cryptid Bingo). Here's how it's going so far...
  • Vampires
  • Witches
  • Folk Horror
  • Written by a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) author
  • A Ghost Story
  • Written by a female author
  • Cosmic Horror
  • Frightening Cover
  • Adapted as movie/series
  • Katsu, Ketchum, King, or Koontz - Holly, Stephen King
  • Black, gray, orange, or red cover - Horseman, Christina Henry
  • Book featuring a Cryptid (mark off one BINGO square!) - The Dover Demon, Hunter Shea
I'm currently reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde which will fit the "adapted as movie" category. I watched the 1945 film last week when I started the book.

Here's my updated Cryptid Bingo Card


I keep track of my yearly challenges over on my sister site, True Book Addict. There's a link to my 2025
challenge page in the menu above.


My Spring into Horror Readathon is going on this month over on Seasons of Reading so I expect I'll get some categories knocked out. If you would like to join us, stop over there. You can join in at any time during the month AND we're having a 24-Hour Readathon on April 12. 
Here are my planned reads for the readathon:


I hope you're enjoying your horrific reading! Share your progress in the comments (update, links to posts/reviews, etc.)...
