The Spooky Scary Skeleton Halloween Readathon 2024 Announcement Video

In this video I visited the graveyard at St Michaels Church in Lichfield, Staffordshire. I wanted a spooky location to announce that I'm going to be a Co-host for the Spooky Scary Skeleton Halloween Readathon which has been created by Nicole ‪@NicolesBookishNook‬ , if you haven't checked her channel out you really should as she's awesome.

Here is the information for the readathon:

Spooky Prompts.

1. Read a classic horror novel (it must be at least 30 years old).
2. Read a fiction or non-fiction book about a serial killer.
3. Read a book that has an orange cover or the word 'orange' in the title.
4. Read a book with ghosts and/or ghouls.
5. Read a book where the main character is a witch.
6. Read a non-fiction or fiction book set during the month of October or the book is about Halloween.
7. Read a thriller novel by an author you have never heard of.
8. Read a book with a black cover.

Spooky Guidelines.

1. You don't need to read 8 books. You can combine prompts (ex: a book with a black cover and a thriller novel). There's no requirement that you must follow all the prompts to participate,
2. If you cannot find a book that interests you and also fits one of the prompts, you can skip that prompt (or multiple prompts),
3. There are no prizes because this is not a reading competition. This readathon is go-at-your-own-pace (within the month of October),
4. You can DNF books,
5. I'll be releasing weekly reading update videos and we will gather in the comment section on those YouTube videos. I won't be creating any private groups on any social media platform, so any that pop up are not official,
6. You can start with any of the prompts and read in any order! You are not required to start at #1 and go in numerical order to participate,
7. For co-hosts only:
-You must create an overview video of the readathon with the prompts and rules and tag at least me (and if you can, other co-hosts) so I can comment on the video/share it/etc.,
- You must create one video about the readathon with the prompts listed and the books you'll be reading and tag me (same as above).
-You can post on any social media outlets you're part of and publish as many (or not many) YouTube videos as you want about the readathon and the books you have chosen. I know time is limited and social media can be a lot, so there are no set number of posts or videos other than the two listed.

I'm hoping to upload a video about my fellow Co-Hosts towards the end of the week so please keep an eye out for that.

As always thanks for watching and subscribing,

Take care my friends.

John
