March #SpotlightReadathon

Horror Spotlight will be hosting a readathon from March 1-15! Won’t you join us? The calendar is full of celebration days!

Here are a few, with reading recommendations, if you need some prompts for ideas.

March 3 - I Want You to be Happy Day

Try out a toxic romance, like You by Caroline Kepnes or Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca. Or, take out the toxic and add some spicy and try Someone to Share My Nightmares by Sonora Taylor.

March 8 - Be Nasty Day and/or International (Working) Women's Day
