Halloween Bingo 2021

Every year for the last six years, I host a Halloween Bingo game in a secret group on Goodreads. This year I’ve decided that I am going to try to keep track of it over here, as well. The game runs for the 61 days between September 1 and October 31, with 61 potential squares. Each card, of course, only has 25 squares on it, including the center “free” square.

In order to qualify to mark off a square, the books need to fit the prompt and they also need to generally fit into one of for genres: mystery, suspense, supernatural or horror. These types of books have long “read” autumn to me, which is how the game got started.

My card for this year:

I have been working on choosing books for the squares over on GR, but will put up some posts over here as well. This is the time of year that I most heavily use the library as well, because most of the books that I read will be more “modern” books, although I have also read a lot of vintage mystery and classic horror over the years.
