October book bingo: Spooky season reading challenge
October is the perfect month to lean into all things eerie, gothic, and magical. Whether you are already stacking your TBR with haunted houses and witchy reads, or just looking for an excuse to pick up something a little darker, I have made an October book bingo card to guide your reading this month.
The prompts are filled with seasonal fun. You will find blood on the cover, potions and curses, familiars, ghosts, and a touch of dark academia. You can use the bingo card as a way to choose your next read, track your progress, or challenge yourself to see how many squares you can fill before the end of the month.
How to play
Save the bingo card (save the image in this post).
Fill in your reads on the matching squares as you go.
Play your way by aiming for a row, a blackout, or just dipping into a few prompts that catch your eye.
No pressure, just a fun way to mix up your reading list and join in on the October vibes.
Want to add book covers to your squares or customize your own version? Grab the free Canva template below.
I would love to see what you are reading. Tag me on Instagram @story_sippers if you share your bingo board on Instagram or join the conversation in the Story Sippers book club.
Happy spooky reading!
