It is officially Day 1 of Winterween: Blood Bath!

Incase you are new here and have no idea what I am talking about Gabby from GabbyReads hosts Winterween and Summerween every year on YouTube and Instagram. Her prompts are simple and so much fun. From January 9 – 15, 2026 I will of course be participating. The weens are my favorite readathons to participate in. They also have merchandise. Check it out if you can because it is so adorable.

Prompts:

1. Read a book in the dark (or at night)
2. Read a thriller or horror book
3. Read a book with red on the cover (or blood)
4. Read a book about vampires (or werewolves or witches)
5. Read a 2025 release book you never got around to

Honestly, they may stay the same with a couple of prompts slightly changed but I absolutely LOVE them and so thankful for them because they are simple and I don’t have to think a lot and I can only aspire to have prompts like this.

TBR:

1. That’s Not My Name
2. That’s Not My Name
3. Love at the Gates of Hell
4. Let the Right One In
5. The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookstore

I am so excited to dive into all of these books, especially because it is Winterween after all it just brings me so much joy! Are you participating this year?
